 Jan Tojnar | the issue with dist tarballs is that they lack some files (IIRC some projects were excluding lockfiles in .gitattibutes) | 15:58:11 |
| Jan Tojnar | actually, does the repo plug-in fetch source tarballs? | 15:59:01 |
| Jan Tojnar | * Pol: actually, does the repo plug-in store source or dist tarballs? | 15:59:26 |
 tgerbet | Lockfiles should not be needed in the dist tarballs, only the top level needs it and it is fetched via the usual fetchFromGithub or similar | 16:06:55 |
| Jan Tojnar | hmm, maybe I misremembered then | 16:11:53 |
| Jan Tojnar | but IIRC we switched to source tarballs for some reason | 16:12:11 |
| Jan Tojnar | maybe it was missing tests? | 16:12:19 |

| tgerbet | Yeah tests in the dependencies might be missing but I'm not sure it's really an issue because you also do not want to install the dev deps of the dependencies | 16:14:39 |
| tgerbet | So tests of your dependencies are likely to fail | 16:15:12 |
| Pol | #goHangHimself | 16:15:35 |
| Jan Tojnar | Pol: looks like the relative paths do not work 🙈
see nix build -L --keep-failed --no-write-lock-file ./tests#non-head-rev in https://github.com/fossar/composition-c4/pull/3 | 20:27:22 |
| Pol | Argh :S | 20:27:53 |
| Pol | What are we going to do with this thing? | 20:28:06 |
| Jan Tojnar | I am leaning towards patching composer | 20:28:34 |
| Jan Tojnar | https://github.com/composer/composer/blob/6111ff5cda367d345bf2cf99b8ca95b56fc7459e/src/Composer/Downloader/PathDownloader.php#L46 | 20:28:35 |
| Pol | Checking | 20:29:32 |
| Pol | Do you think this would fix everything? | 20:29:52 |
| Jan Tojnar | not everything but at least this thing | 20:30:06 |
| Pol | mmh mmh | 20:30:29 |
| Pol | Ok | 20:30:31 |
| Pol | Curious to see how you're going to patch it. | 20:30:51 |
| Jan Tojnar | I was thinking resolving the path relative to repository path | 20:31:03 |
| Jan Tojnar | but thinking about it more, it does not really make much sense since the repository does not have to be a path, does it? | 20:31:31 |
| Pol | There could be different type of repos indeed | 20:32:26 |
| Jan Tojnar | I guess we could do it like napalm does and run http server | 20:33:38 |
| Pol | I have no clue on those things | 20:33:55 |
| Jan Tojnar | Pol: regarding the composer packaging it looks like composer update --lock will require even developer dependencies to be in the repo | 21:19:31 |
| Jan Tojnar | which makes sense, --no-dev should not produce partial lockfile | 21:19:58 |
| Pol | Mmh mmh | 21:20:27 |
