 John Ericson | Also I am curious what the deal with FreeBSD and the smallest version number | 16:09:21 |
| John Ericson | do they have that or just two version numbers? | 16:09:29 |
| John Ericson | noticed that the bash script to spit out the version skippped it | 16:09:40 |
 rhelmot | what does that mean exactly? are you talking about pkgs/os-specific/bsd/freebsd/update.py ? | 16:13:54 |
 artemist | I'm guessing sys/conf/newvers.sh in the FreeBSD source tree? The update.py script calls that to figure out the version | 16:15:11 |
| artemist | I think they put the patch number in BRANCH (e.g. RELEASE-p6) instead of revision for some reason | 16:18:14 |
| artemist | Not sure why but it's what they do | 16:18:23 |
| John Ericson | artemist: ah OK | 16:21:36 |
| John Ericson | thought the patch number was gone altogether | 16:21:43 |
| John Ericson | that helps | 16:21:46 |
| John Ericson | thanks both of you | 16:21:53 |
| rhelmot | In reply to @Ericson2314:matrix.org
you should now be able to remove lots of inherit (buildFreebsd) .... I pushed a change removing everything that did not cause a recursion error when removed | 16:23:43 |
| rhelmot | there's still quite a lot though. I don't know how to determine if it's fixable or just due to the netbsd-mentioned problem | 16:24:10 |

| John Ericson | rhelmot: yes it is expected that some will still be needed | 16:54:55 |
| John Ericson | Splicing and laziness do not play nice | 16:55:05 |
|  ondt joined the room. | 22:18:49 |
| John Ericson | rhelmot artemist : would you be willing to give me push access to something so I can make a branch that both of you can edit? | 22:36:55 |
| rhelmot | yea sure | 22:37:20 |
| rhelmot | branch naming scheme on rhelmot/nixpkgs is freebsd-staging2/relevant-name | 22:39:52 |
| John Ericson | rhelmot: thanks! | 22:56:27 |
