 John Ericson | rhelmot: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/321301 new one good for review | 17:07:10 |
| John Ericson | Also it would be nice if you could do the same thing for FreeBSD :) | 17:07:21 |
| John Ericson | rhelmot: am I missing some thing about camel case for libcMinimal? | 20:04:38 |
| John Ericson | fair enough with systemdMinimal | 20:05:15 |

| bl0v3 | yo | 22:23:18 |
| bl0v3 | i got this IBM mainframe (Z10) | 22:23:44 |
| bl0v3 | guess that means s390x (assuming X is the 64 bit one) | 22:24:02 |
| bl0v3 | since these can run linux and rhel / ubuntu are officially supported | 22:24:41 |
| bl0v3 | i was wondering if i should attempt to run nixos on that, does anyone have experience with these devices or even attempted to run nixos on them in the past? | 22:25:37 |
| bl0v3 | i do know how to use pkgsCross / binfmt and how the outputs / stages etc etc work | 22:26:50 |
| bl0v3 | and wrote/fixed countless drvs / modules but that was just fox riscv | 22:27:15 |
| bl0v3 | i have no clue how these mainframes work though, what bootloaders are available and or if there are some special reqiurements for the kernel. D'de | 22:28:59 |
| bl0v3 | if anyone has some thoughts or suggestions to share on how to go on about this most ideally please let me know,
note however i do not plan to turn this into anything serious or think there'd be much use for it. Id essentially just see if it can be done, write a small blogpost about it. run the infamous neofetch on it once and thats about it | 22:32:29 |
| bl0v3 | so i don't exactly need it to be lets say in the state risc-v is currently at, but it would be nice to actually generate a proper bootable image and have an install target (bootloader directive) or sth. Like im looking to close the gap between making a tarball or whatever and actually installing it | 22:35:14 |
| bl0v3 | ideally id like to get this to a point where i could build an iso (or whatever this thing can boot from) and setup the drives ideally declarative via disko or sth | 22:36:43 |
| bl0v3 | its ok if some packages wont' build right away or ever im already used to that from riscv but like it would still be nice to at least get the minimal profile or sth to work so that i don't have to use crossPackages and can select generations from the bootloader somehow | 22:38:17 |

| bl0v3 | its sorta old but this is how it looks, like that model I got here to play with | 22:39:27 |
| bl0v3 | as i recall what id need to do is get the bootstrap packages to compile and write a module to provide whatever is used as a bootloader on these | 22:40:16 |
| 28 Jun 2024 |
 trofi | yeah, getting bootstrap tools to cross-compile is a good first step. could start at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/stdenv/linux/make-bootstrap-tools-cross.nix | 05:20:38 |
| trofi | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/314823 might also be useful | 05:23:54 |
