@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyprobably just because nobody did it?17:05:42
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily there's already a lib.teams entry 17:05:55
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyany committer can make a GitHub team17:06:01
@jade_:matrix.orgjade_wait really?? okay let's fix tha17:06:28
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyright, it was the "just-built Lix" part17:06:46
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilybtw17:06:48
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily you can't --accept-tests a change from an eval failure to success or vice versa 17:06:55
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilywould be nice to have17:06:59
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyhttps://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/1301317:15:38
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyjoy17:15:40
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilydoes anyone else feel like backporting that so I don't spend literally all day dealing with overflow bugs :P17:17:40
@jade_:matrix.orgjade_https://github.com/orgs/NixOS/teams/lix-maintainers/members done17:18:37
@jade_:matrix.orgjade_woof. yeah i can do it17:18:55
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily the srclix rename is tremendously annoying for Nix backports because of Git's broken handling of renames. can't wait for Jujutsu's rebase algorithm to handle moves/copies. 17:19:52
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilydoes anyone have any tricks that they use to make it not be useless at that17:20:13
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily I tried merge.directoryRenames 17:20:31
@charles:computer.surgeryCharlesi wonder if a similar trick for cherry-picking across formatting changes would help?17:21:10
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily yeah, but it would require jj run rather than jj fix sadly 17:21:43
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilymaybe a Git mergetool could do it but I don't feel like writing one of those17:21:51
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyI guess I can just duplicate, move, rebase, but ugh17:22:01
@charles:computer.surgeryCharles🪦17:22:48
@jade_:matrix.orgjade_ yeah. idk. i find so many bugs in code review of stuff that got accepted by cppnix that i think that most code has to be rewritten anyway. i think it's possible to rename the directory in a commit that you can base the cherry-picked one on, or something like that. 17:25:50
@jade_:matrix.orgjade_for example, i found straight up wrong code in here (in addition to error messages that refer to concepts that only exist in C++ and not in user facing places) i am still happy to port the fix, but it's going to experience some rewrites17:27:16
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyI don't think your review is right17:28:07
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilybecause that is a float17:28:12
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilythe whole problem is that it is going via floats, so it has float limits17:28:26
@commentator2.0:elia.gardenRutile (Commentator2.0) feel free to ping
In reply to @emilazy:matrix.org
you can't --accept-tests a change from an eval failure to success or vice versa
You should be able to iirc, if that actually doesnt work, create an issue and ill make it work
17:28:43
@commentator2.0:elia.gardenRutile (Commentator2.0) feel free to pingOh wsit17:28:58
@commentator2.0:elia.gardenRutile (Commentator2.0) feel free to pingYeah no17:29:01
@commentator2.0:elia.gardenRutile (Commentator2.0) feel free to pingNvm is a different runner not just different output17:29:14
