 Domen Kožar | posted a small status update at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/105026#issuecomment-851360515 | 09:36:07 |
 Finn Behrens | I don't understood yet how to build the release tarballs with hydra. Not sure if we have to add anything else into the flake for that | 09:37:00 |
| Domen Kožar | that's automatic | 09:40:17 |
| Domen Kožar | we'll also need to change the installer to use the correct platform | 09:40:44 |

we'll also need to change the installer to use the correct platform this change? https://github.com/NixOS/nix/commit/5e86de3cd8c60e59ed57ca9f4b3a9aab3fca5425 | 09:52:56 |
| Domen Kožar | I think it sets x86_64-darwin is used as a platform by default currently | 09:54:07 |
| Finn Behrens | yes, thats whats removed on the other side, as far as i can tell | 09:54:33 |
| Domen Kožar | ah! all good | 09:54:54 |
|  timtraversy joined the room. | 12:26:28 |
 sterni (he/him) | why does nix have a reimplementation of the lowdown package in nixpkgs anyways? | 17:08:19 |

why does nix have a reimplementation of the lowdown package in nixpkgs anyways? Historical reasons? | 07:23:33 |
| sterni (he/him) | Mic92: yeah I think they added a dynamic library which we didn't have in nixpkgs for a time, but it was upstreamed at some point | 07:24:36 |

Finn Behrens: channels are out PR is created: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/4865 | 07:54:36 |
| Domen Kožar | Nice :) | 07:55:32 |
| Finn Behrens | do we need to add support for aarch64-darwin to nix stable? or is this not needed, as it always will be used through nixpkgs, and not like nix master through a flake | 08:09:02 |
| Finn Behrens | I think it would look like this, but I'm not sure. shall i open a pr for that? | 08:12:38 |
| Finn Behrens | https://github.com/Kloenk/nixos-nix/commit/75f787dce2aaa702c895e4f22a26fe713b109f81 | 08:12:39 |
| Domen Kožar | that's also needed for tarball support | 08:13:54 |
| Finn Behrens | So I create a pr? or did I miss some lines. Not sure what you mean by that | 08:14:54 |
| Domen Kožar | I'd add that to the existing PR | 08:16:01 |
| Finn Behrens | it's a different branch. The later is based on 2.3-maintenance | 08:16:29 |
| Domen Kožar | ah, you're talking about 2.3 :) | 08:17:15 |
| Finn Behrens | release.nix is not present in the repo anymore. stable nix is done via flake-compat | 08:17:18 |
| Domen Kožar | does it build on aarch64-darwin with that patch? | 08:17:50 |
| Finn Behrens | as far as I can tell, yes. It also can build packages | 08:19:45 |
| Finn Behrens | So i tested nix repl in the resulting binary and build hello as aarch64-darwin | 08:20:07 |
| Domen Kožar | Nice :) | 08:20:25 |
| Domen Kožar | I think that's better than nothing so I'd open a PR | 08:20:35 |
