 raitobezarius | TWIN: This week, sparked from a discussion in the contribution channel https://matrix.to/#/!kjdutkOsheZdjqYmqp:nixos.org/$TyVnavWN3waTSaNOm0dT8V0q9Xmef0x1Tin-roaD_hU?via=nixos.org&via=matrix.org&via=nixos.dev about Musl https://musl.libc.org/, an alternative libc to glibc and its support in Nixpkgs.
I proposed as a takeaway https://matrix.to/#/!kjdutkOsheZdjqYmqp:nixos.org/$7lx9_zRf1xXuKv812u7ouhHLr0psuT3R-i7NEPvdQm8?via=nixos.org&via=matrix.org&via=nixos.dev that it would be interesting to see more CI checks in the form of passthru.tests.* on various relevant packages to https://spectrum-os.org/ which is a Nix-derivative operating system using Musl.
In addition to that, if troubles arise while supporting a package due to Musl tests, the group of folks in @NixOS/static could intervene and provide guidance on how to proceed.
Note that static builds in Nixpkgs are offered via static musl builds, this could be done using glibc but this infrastructure for static builds does not exist in nixpkgs. Moreover, according to the appendix in RFC 046 (https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0046-platform-support-tiers.md), x86_64-linux + musl + gcc is a tier 3 platform. Static musl is a tier 4 platform on x86_64-linux.
If you want to see this change, please chime in the discussion and offer your help to the people working on musl in nixpkgs.

| raitobezarius | I should have probably included in the summary the concerns about cache size and build resources consumption | 17:55:46 |
| raitobezarius | I am not sure I want to debug the message edit broadcast ahem | 17:55:55 |

| raitobezarius | TWIN: Enhanced FreeBSD support for nix and nixpkgs is on its way thanks to rhelmot and artemist! As of this week, nix support for sandboxed building with FreeBSD jails is an open pull request, along with a fully fledged stdenv for native use of nix on FreeBSD. Progress is ongoing to support desktop environments and a full FreeBSD-based nixos platform.
Due to a review of the FreeBSD backwards compatibility capabilities, the platform tuple was able to change to drop the major version number. Packages will be built by default for the lowest supported version of FreeBSD (14 at present), but can be built to take advantage of newer features by specifying build parameters.

 @infinisil:matrix.org | TWIN: After a long time cooking, RFC 166 has entered Final Comment Period (FCP)! This proposal defines a standardised way to format Nix code, along with a team to create and maintain an implemention of it, and enforce it for Nixpkgs. Unless there are any blocking issues until then, it is planned to be accepted and merged in 13 days.
Check out https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/166#issuecomment-1955268600 for more details. | 16:42:03 |
