 viraptor | Thanks, I got some samples. I think there are two places in sigtool that could maybe potentially occasionally fail in edge cases... Patches incoming maybe tomorrow. | 17:02:32 |
 Randy Eckenrode | We don’t use sigtool in the general case. | 17:03:14 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Signing is done by the linker. I can’t recall whether it was reproducible with ld-prime. | 17:04:43 |

| viraptor | Sigh, looks like I got lost in the signing maze. That's what I get for working way past bedtime 🤦♂️ | 22:23:36 |

| Randy Eckenrode | Apple might have fixed the libiconv issue that was causing problems for gnulib. That’s unexpected if so. | 02:08:43 |

Ok, I've got a draft PR which I can't fully test due to some security software. Does anyone feel like rebuilding the bootstrap? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/508307 To test if it worked properly, you can try building https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/500850 rebased on top of it.
rebuild-linux: 5001+
👀 bro about to make hydra cry | 02:30:28 |
| Randy Eckenrode | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/508474 splits the source releases out from the SDK. I tried to get it down to zero rebuilds, but the overlaying during the bootstrap messes things up. | 03:38:50 |
| mall0c | I suppose this is part of your effort to get swift sdk updated? | 03:54:50 |
| Randy Eckenrode | It’s a detour to clean up some Darwin stuff. | 04:16:23 |
| Randy Eckenrode | I think I got rid of the rebuilds. | 04:32:12 |
| Randy Eckenrode | I did just confirm though that SwiftPM 5.10.1 supports putting packages in editable mode. That’s how I’m vendoring dependencies. I want to land the breaking stuff for the release, then I can work on the Swift 6.x update. | 04:59:11 |
| Randy Eckenrode | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/508474 definitely has no rebuilds on either Darwin or Linux. | 05:17:45 |
|  jyap joined the room. | 19:46:58 |
| jyap | so the latest macos tahoe 26.4 seems really hostile now to built CLI apps. they don't even run for testing.
is there a solution for this where the command is just killed by the OS?
e.g.

| Randy Eckenrode | Probably https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/208951. It’s concerning the problem seems to be getting worse. | 19:50:07 |
| jyap | thanks, i'll take a look | 19:52:32 |
| jyap | yeah it's similar to this issue where the fix is to disable tests https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/507531 | 19:58:05 |

| Randy Eckenrode | Why can’t anything link when using the 26.4 SDK? | 00:43:03 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Oh, crap. | 00:44:20 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Apple dropped arm64 support. | 00:44:25 |
