leo60228 | little endian is boring ::::p | 18:58:18 |
Puna | i've run just nix on ppc64be, does that count :p | 19:33:00 |
artemist | IME the most annoying issue ends up being bootloaders, getting packages to build on alpha is trivial but alpha bootloaders are weird | 23:39:12 |

artemist | mood, for nixbsd openbsd we're going to have to have one instance of the openbsd bootloader per generation and use some bootloader that can chainload uefi (maybe refind or grub 2) to act as the menu. | 00:03:11 |
artemist | FreeBSD has a lua-programmable bootloader but OpenBSD can't have nice things | 00:03:35 |
artemist | Is there a reason the devShell needs a python3 built for the target? | 00:07:48 |
artemist | Oops, wrong chanel | 00:08:40 |
alex taxia | we still use the forth loader on freebsd | 00:08:45 |

rhelmot | does anyone know, before I go off by myself to make such a thing, if there exists a tool that takes a matrix of build platforms, spins up a vm with nix installed for each, adds those vms as remote builders, and then builds packages from those machines for testing purposes? | 01:05:30 |
elikoga | In reply to @rhelmot:matrix.org does anyone know, before I go off by myself to make such a thing, if there exists a tool that takes a matrix of build platforms, spins up a vm with nix installed for each, adds those vms as remote builders, and then builds packages from those machines for testing purposes? If you're doing it all on the same machine, consider binfmt emulation? | 06:48:17 |
rhelmot | That is an excellent idea and I will use it for all the Linux targets | 06:49:43 |
@rick:matrix.ciphernetics.nl | I don't know of such a system. You might wanna build it on top of buildbot-nix though, possibly (don't have any experience with it but it seems like the hot new thing) | 06:52:19 |
