How on earth does this not update registrationTime on a package when I build it? Edit: AAaaaaaaa I'm running the Nixpkgs daemon. It's getting too late π€ | 01:58:34 | |
That's more like it, thanks! | 02:01:13 | |

| #maybe I was painting with a bit of a broad brush, when I implemented that update "so low" any command and his uncle will update regtime, can't query the store at all without touching π I'm happy to see it working though | 10:53:16 | |

| So uh I just tried to yolo update to staging-next | 17:42:34 | |
| And I think something is bork | 17:42:36 | |
| Because my Lix does not | 17:42:40 | |
| 17:54:19 | |
| This sure smells like curl | 17:54:23 | |
| Ah no this is just https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/1027 | 17:56:13 | |
| /me updates | 17:56:16 | |
| what is the current state of rust in lix? I see/know there is lix-doc. but is that something that wants to get removed (saw the consumer saying some TODO that I did not fully understand). end question would be is it acceptable to write other features in rust or should as much as possible still be C++? | 22:34:37 | |
| The problem with writing features in Rust is mostly that there's no bindings to the C++ bits | 22:37:47 | |
| And the C++ bits are increasingly relying on coroutines via kj which basically don't FFI | 22:38:23 | |
| So you could write things in Rust, but those things need to either expose a sync C API surface or communicate over some sort of currently-not-existent RPC mechanism | 22:39:34 | |
| raito nerdsniped me to write a new log format (like the multiline I did years ago). Kinda don't have the time for that, but wonderd if I can just forward all the data to rust and do the actuall handling of all the printing in rust | 22:42:47 | |
| Will have to build some sort of RPC layer for this | 22:44:29 | |
| Probably | 22:44:40 | |
| From what I remember I think I could do most stuff with just a sync C abi. but also might have changed. but sounds like in general I can look into it (should I find the time for it :)) | 22:45:39 | |

| blocked on ability for rustc to tell us what we need to do wrt linkage to meson | 01:02:06 | |
| mostly libstd relinking issues, etc. | 01:02:27 | |
