 Ihar Hrachyshka | I saw c-ares thingy. is it the same? | 01:13:40 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Why not check for __APPLE__ and error out for an unknown platform? | 01:13:42 |
| Ihar Hrachyshka | oops nevermind, matrix client is misbehaving | 01:14:01 |
| Randy Eckenrode | No. I ran into it trying to get Lix to use a fixed curl in my configs. I ended up doing this lovely override:
lixPackageSets.stable = nixpkgs-unstable.lixPackageSets.stable.overrideScope (final: prev: {
lix = prev.lix.override {
curl = nixpkgs-unstable.curl.override {
c-aresMinimal = inputs.lix-fixed.legacyPackages.${pkgs.system}.c-aresMinimal.override {
inherit (nixpkgs-unstable) cmake stdenv updateAutotoolsGnuConfigScriptsHook;
};
};
};
});

| Ihar Hrachyshka | guess I'll 1) post a staging patch backporting the gnulib fix for gnugrep; 2) report a bug to gnugrep so that they bump their gnulib submodule. (they are still sitting on an Apr 2025 commit in master) | 01:17:49 |
| Randy Eckenrode | My configs were my Swift branch from July, so I had some work to do to update them. My servers are actually still on 24.11, which should be fun to update. | 01:17:59 |
| Randy Eckenrode | It also affects coreutils. Probably anything using gnulib, but we don’t have a good way of dealing with that because we don’t de-vendor gnulib. | 01:18:24 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Now that I have a working Lix again, I can try building KosmicKrisp. | 01:19:07 |
| Ihar Hrachyshka | yep anyone using an old gnulib is affected. frankly, anyone NOT using gnulib is also affected. (if they use the interface) | 01:19:18 |
| Ihar Hrachyshka | (if they use the interface AND assume it's safe) | 01:19:42 |
| Ihar Hrachyshka | it's not clear if gnugrep is affected per se - I don't think it's multi-threaded? | 01:20:20 |
| Ihar Hrachyshka | they just run all tests from gnulib regardless. | 01:20:33 |
| Ihar Hrachyshka | the patch implementing MT for grep is 10 yo and not merged: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=20768 so probably it's enough to disable the test after all | 01:26:10 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Requires Metal 4. Good thing we have the 26.0 SDK. | 01:28:19 |
| Randy Eckenrode | KosmicKrisp doesn’t appear to be included in Mesa 25.3. | 01:31:37 |
| Randy Eckenrode | https://www.phoronix.com/news/KosmicKrisp-Merged-Mesa-26.0 says it’s targeting Mesa 26.0, which I guess would be released next year. | 01:33:40 |
| Randy Eckenrode | mesa_clc crashes when building KosmicKrisp. 😭 | 02:13:49 |
| Ihar Hrachyshka | gnugrep here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/462444 (running nixpkgs-review for aarch64-darwin for -p gnugrep, should post the result in a few hours) | 02:31:10 |
| Ihar Hrachyshka | I assume for coreutils we'd have to actually backport the gnulib fix? | 02:31:56 |
 spewdins | Totally kinda sorta off topic | 02:32:11 |
| spewdins | I’m porting wayland to macOS | 02:32:17 |
| spewdins | And I’m getting somewhere | 02:32:24 |

| spewdins | I wish a nix build of wayland was just readily available but isn’t. So.. | 02:32:54 |
| spewdins | I also did write my own CALayer compositor (still wip) but I’m able to render nixos foot over waypipe | 02:33:20 |
| spewdins | Oh yea I ported waypipe too | 02:33:25 |
| spewdins | And I want it upstream to nix | 02:33:35 |
