@andi:kack.itandi-Also being Tier1 just means it is allowed to block unspecified channels and requires a large amount of packages to work on the platform. I don't think either is currently desired nor given.18:38:55
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožar andi-: I'm proposing only to build packages, there's no blocking involved at all 18:42:27
@andi:kack.itandi-I know :-)18:42:43
@andi:kack.itandi-I just commented on the PR. Move it to limitedSupportedSystems. It has the same technical impact but fits more with what we are currently offering.18:43:10
@kloenk:petabyte.devFinn Behrensfine with me. Only read in the aarch64-linux rfc that the idea is also to lay the groundstone for aarch64-darwin with that18:43:19
@andi:kack.itandi-I don't think that we have a high enough density of M1 devices out there on developers desks to actually do anything close to Tier1 just yet...18:44:02
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožarhuh, we have 6 mac minis18:44:27
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožarwhich are probably faster than the existing 8 very old mac minis :)18:44:39
@andi:kack.itandi- I am talking about Developers not the CI machines. 18:44:59
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožarespecially since nix builds scale better vertically18:44:59
@daiderd:matrix.orgLnLyeah, I don't think build capacity is a concert, maybe evaluation size for trunk is?18:45:28
@andi:kack.itandi-If the goal is really a Tier1 platform then as a user I expect Tier1 support. That isn't the case. And I say that as someone that has to use an M1 mac right now.18:46:58
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen KožarI'd expect we'd aim for tier 218:48:08
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa RossI wish we had a central tier list somewhere, like Rust does18:50:49
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa Ross(or maybe we do and I don't know about it?)18:51:00
@andi:kack.itandi- Alyssa Ross: we have an RFC but it is written from the side of the developers (aka what kind of pain is that Tier to inflict on us) and not primarily from the side of users (What are my expectations). Which is a bit of a difference from the traditional tier listing. 18:53:20
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa Rossandi: it also doesn't have a tier table that can really be updated, I think18:53:44
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa RossI expect RFCs to be static18:53:53
@andi:kack.itandi-I started moving the RFC into a table format-ish but it is hard with the current wording.. 18:54:20

@andi:kack.itandi-This image is basically what I ended up with last time I looked at it18:55:51
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa RossI think we should have a table in the manual19:00:24
@andi:kack.itandi-That was the plan. I have a markdown accident^Wversion of the above in a refined form but it isn't polished enough yet.19:00:58
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen KožarNice!19:02:54
@andi:kack.itandi-This is the markdown version: https://md.darmstadt.ccc.de/iuE-7T3OR3yR5hmjulyPpA?edit19:16:56
@andi:kack.itandi-If someone is motivated to fight that format go for it :D19:17:06

@andi:kack.itandi-I cancelled a larger rebuild on this Mac a while ago by hitting Ctrl-C in the shell invoking nix-build... Apparently that didn't kill the background jobs that the nix-daemon stared. Is that normal on MacOS?14:02:26
