 artemis | ive got a friend with power9 i could ask power9 questions. soon to be two friends. i dont think either are using NixOS though | 10:55:31 |

 Alyssa Ross | I'll see if I can get somebody directly first | 10:58:29 |
 raitobezarius | That sounds like something amjoseph could have | 10:58:49 |
| Alyssa Ross | Yeah, I'll ask him if I don't find anybody here | 11:01:03 |
| Alyssa Ross | (I assume he's asleep rn) | 11:01:07 |
| Alyssa Ross | I'd also be interested to talk to anybody using NixOS on 32-bit PowerPC, or a Fuloong 2.0 Mini PC | 11:40:40 |
| raitobezarius | 32bit ppc sounds again amjoseph :D | 11:43:28 |

 Minijackson | Alyssa Ross: I'm using NixOS on ppc64 BE if you're interested | 09:32:11 |
| Alyssa Ross | Minijackson: would be nice if you could keep an eye on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/224694, and test whatever solution ends up being proposed? | 09:33:30 |
| Alyssa Ross | I don't know of any other 64-bit BE users | 09:33:46 |
| Minijackson | right now, I have a custom kernel from here: https://github.com/nxp-qoriq/linux, and I had to manually install uImage instead of vmlinux | 09:38:14 |
| Minijackson | I think it might be nice to rely less on the makefile targets for installing, it seems that they are not consistent across architectures | 09:38:44 |
| Minijackson | another example: I think I recall the powerpc architecture doesn't have a way to compile all dtb files | 09:39:22 |
| Minijackson | it would be good to look at how Yocto / Buildroot does the installation side of things | 09:39:47 |
| Alyssa Ross | We could do it consistently across architectures, but only for recent kernels | 09:40:26 |
| Alyssa Ross | We're stuck with this mess mostly because we support kernels released before like last year | 09:40:45 |
| Minijackson | things got consistent since last year? | 09:41:27 |
| Alyssa Ross | yes, now instead of having to tell the kernel build system which image we want, and run different targets depending, we could always use the default one, and use the KBUILD_IMAGE make variable | 09:43:05 |
| Minijackson | that's nice | 09:43:44 |
