 rhelmot | Not particularly exotic but - somehow while messing with nixpkgs for FreeBSD I broke llvm tests on Linux. The failing test case seems to complain about the dot executable not being in the path? I can’t find any evidence of this having ever been a dependency or a disabled test, so what could have gone wrong? | 02:40:11 |
| rhelmot | The change that broke it had nothing to do with llvm - I changed a var that should be a no-op on Linux for bison | 02:41:42 |
| rhelmot | Note that this is the nix installed from Ubuntu apt, which doesn’t use the sandbox | 02:42:08 |

 raitobezarius | I'd ask if you can reproduce this with sandbox first | 18:53:37 |
| raitobezarius | We don't really support sandboxless usecases | 18:53:41 |
| rhelmot | I did in fact try with the sandbox and it worked perfectly | 19:00:33 |
| rhelmot | Debian considered harmful I guess | 19:00:48 |
 trofi | I'd say it's a nix's defaults bug that it allows for an unsandboxed runs so easily. | 22:59:25 |
| trofi | I ended up disabling the fallback by default to guard users from the similar pitfalls:

| raitobezarius | seems like something every other distro should copy | 23:11:14 |

| raitobezarius | rhelmot: Would you mind if I had a summary of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/254801#issuecomment-1937118809 for posting a news entry on the FreeBSD support in Nix(pkgs)? | 12:44:18 |
| raitobezarius | That seems quite awesome work ongoing | 12:44:35 |
| raitobezarius | Also, if you could detail what's your plan for CI, let me know | 12:47:34 |
| raitobezarius | I can see what's feasible in the side of nixpkgs infrastructure | 12:47:41 |
| raitobezarius | Or recommend you potential venues for sponsoring ofc | 12:47:50 |

rhelmot: Would you mind if I had a summary of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/254801#issuecomment-1937118809 for posting a news entry on the FreeBSD support in Nix(pkgs)? Sure! Do you just want me to write a summary of that one comment? Where is it being posted, for tone reasons? | 16:36:11 |

| raitobezarius | you can either write your post yourself in a self service way by going to the 2nd channel | 16:36:37 |
| rhelmot | Ok one sec | 16:36:38 |
| raitobezarius | and I can ack it and it will be posted to the feed | 16:36:43 |
