Hey all, I would much appreciate your feedback on https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/196: Self-describing store
This RFC proposes that stores provide a nix-store.json file declaring their properties, enabling:

  • Discovery of store settings (storeDir, encoding, etc.)
  • Forward compatibility through explicit feature requirements
  • A unified replacement for the ad hoc nix-cache-info format

@winter:catgirl.cloudWinter looks like a exportReferencesGraph (that takes a while) may block the output of build logs from other drvs being built at the same time -- does this sound realistic to anyone before i mre? 22:35:55
@winter:catgirl.cloudWintermight be a nix-specific issue though, let me see (haven't confirmed whether the bug is in both yet, it's annoying to repro)22:36:40
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusI don't think we did anything particular on this builtin22:37:10

@rvdp:infosec.exchangeRamses πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ nix path-info shows this confusing label ultimate, and I had to go look in the source code to figure out that it basically means that the store path was built locally. Could we not indicate that by locally-built or something like that to make it a lot more obvious? 19:56:03
@rvdp:infosec.exchangeRamses πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ* `nix path-info --sigs` shows this confusing label `ultimate`, and I had to go look in the source code to figure out that it basically means that the store path was built locally. Could we not indicate that by `locally-built` or something like that to make it a lot more obvious?19:56:50
@rvdp:infosec.exchangeRamses πŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈI could make the CL, but I wanted to check first whether it's a change that would get accepted 19:59:12

@mickeymarse:4d2.orgmHello! Is GItHub the only way to login to the Forgejo instance? No email login or Codeberg account?12:54:37
@k900:0upti.meK900You can set up a Keycloak account with Github, then unlink it14:10:03
@k900:0upti.meK900Or we can set one up for you manually if you give me an email14:10:18
@mickeymarse:4d2.orgmNah, it's alright, don't want to bother. Thank you tho πŸ’œ15:16:13

In reply to @lunaphied:lunaphied.me
I think there were a few CLs on the Gerrit but nothing being actively worked
The other thing that I could do if it helps is test things and try to find bugs. I did do some C++ work in the past, but may lack the time to do it justice here at least for about 30 days or so

@qyriad:katesiria.orgQyriadwe are not in any rush πŸ™‚17:20:53
@samrose:matrix.orgsamroseWould it help to also test out the existing Lix code and try to find issues/bugs etc?17:23:21
@qyriad:katesiria.orgQyriadabsolutely17:23:41
@samrose:matrix.orgsamrose
  • how do people feel about the existing test suite that comes along with nix source code or Lix?
