 jade_ | i also think that as a separate stream of things, in addition to offering a community shared machine, it would be good to also offer sending devs physical macOS machines if they need them, because base mac minis have gotten to the point of this being realistic. | 06:52:16 |
 helle (just a stray cat girl) | right, I am going to try and get back in some of the dev loop today or tomorrow | 11:16:30 |
 Puna | builtins.currentSystem from pkgsi686Linux.lix gives x86-linux which is nonesense, so I guess the fixups are completely unused, but supposed to be used. submitted separately since this affects more platforms than just POWER: https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/3793 | 12:24:21 |
| Puna | * i think I submitted a theoretical fix for the POWER names? not super familiar with the gerrit workflow yet.
https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/3773
if host_cpu is supposed to be used there, should i make that a separate changelist thingy? | 12:25:07 |

You’d also need to fix up MIPS/32 bit Arm. | 12:34:34 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | I think I’ve squashed all problems with that. It doesn’t help tests that there don’t seem to be good integration tests for that stuff. | 12:36:25 |

| Puna | 32-bit ARM should already be handled: https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/src/commit/ca12657a6805045a7e81b2ea761e1af66c4ea1a7/meson.build#L209-L210
MIPS would need added handling though, yes. | 12:37:11 |
| Puna | …oh wait, it's just arm in meson. welp | 12:37:44 |
| Puna | i guess i'll add some checks for those as well then | 12:38:42 |

MIPS would need added handling though, yes. No, I don’t think so. All 32 bit arm targets have arm cpu_family. | 12:46:08 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | At least that’s what meson docs recommend and that’s what nixpkgs does. | 12:46:40 |
| Puna | added handling for 32-bit ARM & MIPSes to 3793. POWER i was already handling in a separate CL | 13:05:11 |
| Puna | i think that should put it on parity with cppnix then. there's technically still little-endian MicroBlaze which would need to be microblazeel, but i've never heard of that arch before… prolly fine to just leave it unhandled until someone actually needs it?

 emily | Alyssa is MicroBlaze's strongest soldier :P | 13:29:14 |
| emily | (but I guess not for running it natively) | 13:29:20 |
 Qyriad | qemu-user is super broken — have you actually been able to compile Lix under it? | 13:29:31 |
| emily | you can build a bunch of Nixpkgs stuff with qemu-user | 13:30:22 |
| emily | it does have a lot of rough edges though | 13:30:25 |
| Qyriad | yeah I've compiled a bunch of stuff with it, but I never got Lix (or Nix) to — that was a while ago though | 13:32:11 |
| emily | the actual build or just tests? | 13:39:35 |
| emily | tests breaking doesn't surprise me, the build would | 13:39:39 |
| Qyriad | I don't remember honestly | 13:45:24 |
| helle (just a stray cat girl) | given that I am going to hit this soon for very silly reasons, wish me luck | 14:56:40 |
 raitobezarius | aloisw send me a ssh key | 19:39:40 |
| raitobezarius | i can give you access to something real quick | 19:39:43 |
| raitobezarius | until we finish setting those up for community builders | 19:39:50 |

| raitobezarius | i already have too many of them and i don't want to see mac mini on my desk kthxbye | 19:40:35 |
