@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius(we would also use that work to enable better out-of-the-box scheduler logic, remote building and more)20:08:04
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusThe remote building hook has been already subject to RPC-ification with Cap'n'Proto, so we are working towards slowly confirming our expectations for this architecture20:08:40
@lisanna-dettwyler:matrix.orgLisannaI will take a look at the Snix implementation, I have not looked at it at all yet20:09:18
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius https://snix.dev/docs/components/overview/ 20:09:29
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusThey have cute figures20:09:31
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius https://snix.dev/docs/components/build/protocol/ is relevant too 20:09:39
@lisanna-dettwyler:matrix.orgLisanna^-^20:09:39
@lisanna-dettwyler:matrix.orgLisannaso you would launch your custom builder as a standalone program, and it would then register itself as a builder through a library call? rather than being launched by the Lix cli or daemon directly?20:18:19
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusthe deployment story is not totally hammered down, but a daemon frontend could receive build daemons URIs (remote or local), once you run a lix command that makes use of build, they would be sent to that daemon via RPC20:19:19
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusbut yeah, in that context, Lix CLI or daemon wouldn't execve() a build component20:19:52
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusit would be delegated20:19:55
@lisanna-dettwyler:matrix.orgLisannaalright20:20:02
@lisanna-dettwyler:matrix.orgLisannaI'll keep watch for progress on this front, and see about adding a mode to my program for this kind of usage20:21:15
