@k900:0upti.meK900Absolutely nope11:33:12
@k900:0upti.meK900Vulkan is DRI only11:33:17
@k900:0upti.meK900(and so is OpenGL for all practical purposes)11:33:28

@k900:0upti.meK900Is it maybe a hardlink to The Blob11:35:54
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeThe blob?11:40:01
@k900:0upti.meK900Mesa mostly produces one big .so11:40:41
@k900:0upti.meK900And a bunch of hardlinks to it11:40:45
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeAh. I would have to check the other files in the output.11:41:10

@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrodehttps://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/463900 is the PR for the Darwin cleanup. It’s draft while x86_64-darwin builds. I’m pretty sure it will, but I should make sure. (I can’t wait until I no longer need to worry about x86_64-darwin.)01:42:41
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode

Doesn’t look like it’s doing that for KosmicKrisp and the Apple GLX support.

@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeIf anyone is interested in trying KosmicKrisp, my branch is https://github.com/reckenrode/nixpkgs/tree/kosmickrisp.00:54:15
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeI’ll be updated the Mesa checkout from time to time.00:54:24
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeI rebased it on master to make it suck less if you want to build it..00:57:45
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode * 00:57:50
@bake.monorail:matrix.orgbake.monorail Do you know if there's a portable way to distribute software through nix on macOS without root?
I'm thinking something like 1) Linux's user namespaces or 2) or using /tmp/nix/store as /nix/store.
AFAIU 1) is not viable while 2) would mean that any user of the machine can tamper with the software, given that I think /tmp is shared between users.
Ideas?
10:40:22
@bake.monorail:matrix.orgbake.monorailAh! I can just use /Applications/MyApp.app/nix/store as /nix/store!11:32:53
@niklaskorz:matrix.orgniklaskorzthe metal shader compiler has been moved from Xcode 26 into a separate package but it's still not redistributable, meh11:48:31
@niklaskorz:matrix.orgniklaskorzI actually made a thing that does that for you11:50:05
@niklaskorz:matrix.orgniklaskorzhttps://codeberg.org/niklaskorz/nix-bundle-darwin11:50:11
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeIs the package still hidden behind a developer account?11:51:32
@niklaskorz:matrix.orgniklaskorzI might just give that a try with Tiny Glade (I hope it lets me override the Vulkan ICD)11:51:36
@niklaskorz:matrix.orgniklaskorzeven better, you can only download it through Xcode (might be interesting to test if the URL it accesses is actually unauthenticated)11:52:05
@niklaskorz:matrix.orgniklaskorz xcodebuild -downloadComponent MetalToolchain 11:52:18
@niklaskorz:matrix.orgniklaskorzonly the Windows version can be downloaded from the web portal, but that does require a developer account11:52:55
