 emily | auto-allocate-uids on Darwin needs to insert the users into the user database | 22:29:17 |
| emily | that is the only way it will ever work | 22:29:23 |
| emily | it's not practical to patch every piece of software in the world to deal with running as a user that doesn't exist | 22:30:12 |
 niko ⚡️ | Fair but also I'd argue this is an improvement in the meson file (also addresses the TODO which claimed respecting TMPDIR is impossible with meson)
# Use a temporary home directory for the unit tests.
# Otherwise, /homeless-shelter is created in the single-user sandbox, and functional tests will fail.
'HOME': run_command('mktemp', '-d', 'libcmd-unit-tests.XXXXXX', check: true).stdout().strip()
and it addresses the failure (which, while a band-aid, is a fix nonetheless, and lix not building with auto-allocate-uids is a regression)

| niko ⚡️ | Lix tests already depend on mktemp being in PATH so this shouldn't be very radical either | 22:38:57 |
| niko ⚡️ | Aaaanyway after fixing this failure turns out functional tests still are failing, just the unit test failure was covering them | 22:41:48 |
| emily | seems reasonable enough | 22:56:07 |
| emily | we should close off /tmp for macOS anyway | 22:56:13 |

 aloisw | Nice hack, thanks. While it only runs at configure time, it should be good enough for most purposes. Can you submit a patch? | 08:01:41 |
 K900 | OK I may be being a dumbass | 08:45:22 |
| K900 | But how do you force nix-store to not daemon | 08:45:31 |
| K900 | Because error: operation 'repairPath' is not supported by store 'daemon' | 08:45:57 |
| K900 | OK explicit --store / did it | 08:46:27 |
 helle (just a stray cat girl) | please note, learning is never dumb, we all started out not knowing stuff, asking should not come with a bonus feeling of negative
that said, I actually don't remember either, heh | 08:46:32 |
 Qyriad | In reply to @k900:0upti.me
OK explicit --store / did it --store local also works | 08:46:58 |
| K900 | Somehow I OOMed in a particularly cursed way | 08:47:36 |
| K900 | And now my store is fucked | 08:47:41 |
 Grimmauld (any/all) | kernels? | 08:47:54 |
| K900 | Nope | 08:48:00 |
| K900 | Webkits | 08:48:04 |
| K900 | I have enough to not OOM on kernels | 08:48:15 |
| K900 | Oh wow I think it might be time to exterminatus this store | 08:51:59 |
| K900 | GODDAMMIT | 11:52:57 |
| K900 | It was not the store at all | 11:53:01 |
| niko ⚡️ | I'll submit it as part of a single series when I apply bandaids to all the current darwin failures so I can bump my config lol | 12:44:03 |
| emily | --store local | 12:48:25 |
| emily | or NIX_REMOTE=local | 12:48:30 |
| emily | is the canonical way | 12:48:32 |
| emily | ah sorry beaten to it | 12:48:44 |
| emily | Sorry, we don't know how to SSO with that email. | 12:52:25 |
