 emily | it needs a codesign(1)-compatible CLI upstream, but the underlying library implements everything required | 02:59:06 |
 lorne | if sigtool has any value left and there are people willing to continue developing it, I think we should transfer it to nix-community or similar | 03:09:41 |
 viraptor | I asked, let's see https://github.com/indygreg/apple-platform-rs/issues/300 | 03:35:15 |
| emily | https://github.com/indygreg/apple-platform-rs/issues/24 | 11:16:54 |
| viraptor | 🤦 I actually looked through the open issues, missed it. Thanks for the link | 11:18:30 |
 Randy Eckenrode | PSA: Don’t let your disk fill up, or you won’t be able to delete any files. Whoops. | 12:56:17 |
| Randy Eckenrode | I left a build going overnight while I was away. I came back to 91 MiB free space on my disk. I had to delete the store to free up space. I’m working to get things back online now. | 12:56:39 |
| viraptor | Don't get close to full either... the latency gets absurd in the high 90%s 😢 | 14:22:52 |
 jonhermansen | Does anyone know how to set up a Linux builder with Determinate Nix? I wanted to try it, but maybe it is hidden behind some feature toggle or I'm clueless. With nix-darwin I can set nix.linux-builder.enable = true, does determinate have its own module I need to include? | 14:39:21 |
 insipx | afaiu the linux builder for determinate is experimental and invite-only,at least last I checked | 14:41:33 |
| insipx | you can email them for access: https://docs.determinate.systems/troubleshooting/native-linux-builder/ | 14:42:13 |
| jonhermansen | Thanks, I should have read the fine print. I will try the email route. | 16:01:54 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Okay, I’m back. Deleting the store and doing some cleanup freed up ~400 GiB of space. I should hopefully be good for a while. Took the opportunity to update to Lix 2.95.1. Yay for being able to set log-format in nix.conf. | 16:32:15 |
 toonn | RandyEckenrode: Do you mean Nix won't be able to GC? Or does APFS suffer from the issues Btrfs used to run into? | 17:58:57 |
| Randy Eckenrode | APFS needs free space to delete files in a volume. I had to make space by deleting a volume in the same container. | 18:32:01 |
| Randy Eckenrode | I think that’s the same as btrfs and ZFS. | 18:32:31 |
| toonn | Btrfs used to have such a problem but reserves some space to always be able to delete something now I think. | 19:54:18 |
 Sarah Clark | Has anyone else seen a Python package die due to code signing? Termination Reason: Namespace CODESIGNING, Code 2, Invalid Page | 23:16:24 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Does it build a native extension? If so, I guess that could end up with a bad signature. | 23:17:19 |
| Sarah Clark | It's definitely using Cython | 23:19:06 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Is this on staging or master? | 23:20:19 |
| Sarah Clark | master | 23:20:27 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Staging got linker upgrade. (though I doubt it will help.) | 23:20:51 |
| Sarah Clark | I had no luck bisecting it -- ran into xxHash being missing (looks like one of the backport PRs did that) | 23:22:23 |

| viraptor | Since I'm planning to fork xcbuild to include the bits needed for swift-build, I wanted to ask about the fate of tools in

I'm leaning towards option 2 and let projects include specific tools as needed, but could be convinced otherwise. Do people have strong opinions here? | 01:10:00 |

 Norinco | I found that after updating nixpkg, the permissions granted in the macOS settings will be invalid. Is there any good solution to this problem? | 08:54:22 |
 bestlem | direnv is failing on nixpkgs-unstable https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/513019 Does this mean that failure on direnv builds for darwin can be ignored and we get a broken nikpkgs - or is this just a one off manual error? | 10:06:02 |
