emilytrau	personally my goal isn't to track the live-bootstrap path exactly. as live-bootstrap evolves i'm ok with diverging if it doesn't fit as well into nixpkgs. was also shows this 3rd bootstrap project and blending in ideas/scripts/patches from there as well https://github.com/schierlm/FullSourceBootstrapFromGit	08:53:50

emilytrau	will be putting up a PR for coreutils today once that maintainers PR is merged =)	08:55:27
j-k	that repo looks nice & it's easier to follow than diving through `run.kaem` -> `after.kaem` -> `after2.kaem` -> `after-fxiw.kaem` -> `run.sh` etc or whatever it is 😅 it actually has the parts & packages clearly documented in the readme	09:07:40
j-k	It grabs live-bootstrap but then deletes most files https://github.com/schierlm/FullSourceBootstrapFromGit/blob/main/part01.sh#L27-L28 specifically in this folder we see it uses `config.h` & `mescc.scm` which we just make ourselves so that's covered	09:09:38
j-k	looks like a couple of makefiles & a couple of patches are the bits they've decided to copy as-is. https://sourcegraph.com/search?q=context%3Aglobal+repo%3A%5Egithub%5C.com%2Fschierlm%2FFullSourceBootstrapFromGit%24%40main+live-bootstrap&patternType=standard&sm=1&groupBy=path there's also these c files for gnutar and gnuzip that fix reproducibility which we'll want to keep, I guess this repo hasn't been updated since those were added to live-bootstrap	09:12:42
j-k	pushed a copy. I noticed some of the files for coreutils come from a different commit so having some capability for multiple target commits would be good https://github.com/06kellyjac/nixpkgs/commit/a106f98d9fb82a5640413289dd9c7f2dd7f5b6db I might permanently move the files source of truth to nix & only fetch hashes for items that are empty e.g. `"somefile.txt" = "";` and maybe look to parallelise it although I don't think we want to pull many many files that'd make that worth it	12:15:48
j-k	I might actually try the untar --non-strict method for a bit but maybe unpack it into different grouped pieces. many files into 1 drv looks pretty nasty in the graphs 😅	12:23:08
j-k	Redacted or Malformed Event	12:23:10
