@ihar.hrachyshka:matrix.orgIhar Hrachyshkamesa 26.1 timed out for darwin in unstable so now my profiles rebuild a world :) why did it run for 2h+? https://hydra.nixos.org/build/32838210514:16:07
@k900:0upti.meK900 I believe @[Randy Eckenrode] had some ideas 14:16:30
@k900:0upti.meK900 But also Mesa should absolutely not be a world rebuild on Darwin 14:16:39
@k900:0upti.meK900 It should be used by like <100 things 14:16:48
@ihar.hrachyshka:matrix.orgIhar Hrachyshkamaybe I stretched it. I saw my github runners doing a build for 3h and timed out and looks like most of the output was mesa: https://github.com/booxter/nix/actions/runs/25666597291/job/75341014760?pr=322 but if I enable timestamps I see that it just hanged there for hours before timing out. The last message from mesa is the same as on hydra.14:21:13
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode Mesa is getting stuck looking for swrast_dri.dylib when it should be swrast_dri.so. I have a hacky workaround that forces it to look for .so even on Darwin. I can open a PR later today. 14:30:25
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeSomething changed with GLX to make it use the megadriver install script. I suspect almost no one else builds it, so it’s broken in a native build, but I haven’t tested it.14:31:36

@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrodehttps://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/519195 is the Mesa fix I’ve been using.23:33:25

@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeI’m starting to suspect that we should expect Intel support to be dropped in the 27.4 SDK.....00:23:17
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode * 00:23:24
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeIf you look at how things went for PPC, the version of Xcode that shipped with 10.6 included support for PPC, but it was dropped by when Xcode 4.0 was released (prior to the release of 10.7).00:24:10
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeApple today appears to do late-cycle changes in the x.4 release. We got hit by it in 15.4. 14.4 included some new APIs, and 26.4 also includes new APIs (and drops support for plain arm64-darwin stubs). Dropping the x86_64 stubs from the 27.4 would match that pattern.00:25:04

@hexa:lossy.networkhexafseventsd is very reliably consuming builder swap00:23:22
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaI'm so close to just set up a launchd service that kills it every hour00:23:37
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily are the /nix/store or the build directories perhaps getting indexed by Spotlight? 00:24:36
