@k900:0upti.meK900It would make more sense if it was15:16:30
@kloenk:kloenk.eukloenkwith what you send me its allowed for Change Owner but blocked for registered user. but change owner should be the one that applies here15:18:05
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusbut then he's change owner15:18:17
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusso…15:18:18
@kloenk:kloenk.eukloenkyeah confused as well (why I looked into the config)15:18:32
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusthat's a problem for future Raito15:18:33

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

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 🙂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?
17:23:48
@qyriad:katesiria.orgQyriadit's pitiful17:24:10
@samrose:matrix.orgsamroseheh 17:24:16
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusexpanding it is cool17:24:23
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariuswriting new tests for builtins which are not tested17:24:30
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusnew test behaviors, etc.17:24:32
