 John Ericson | I would even schedule a call to get started | 13:25:24 |
 Alyssa Ross | (assuming they are interested) | 13:25:48 |
| Alyssa Ross | if not, I think there are other freebsd people interested, but don't remember who off the top of my head | 13:26:02 |
| Alyssa Ross | but next time I see them I'll know to point them your way | 13:26:10 |
 qbit | openbsd is going slowly - i have some bits of cross compile in place but nothing actually compiling atm | 13:26:09 |
 @penguincoder:matrix.wolfie.pw | It might be good to just sync with everyone working on the bsd bits now and work out next steps and how to divide work. | 13:26:33 |
| qbit | my motivation to work on it comes and goes | 13:26:41 |
| John Ericson | In reply to @penguincoder:matrix.wolfie.pw
It might be good to just sync with everyone working on the bsd bits now and work out next steps and how to divide work. Basically, the idea of leveraging and reusing the cross stuff is sound, but it will still take some figuring out how to wrangle everything into position when we actually try it | 13:27:56 |
| John Ericson | that is the thing that is hard for "not nixpkgs bootstrapping expert" to do | 13:28:17 |
| John Ericson | I need to check with amjoseph again, but if we do the better GCC builds stuff, then the linux one could become nice | 13:29:02 |
| John Ericson | and then there would be a clear model to follow | 13:29:10 |
| John Ericson | but of course it could take much work to getthere | 13:29:18 |
| @penguincoder:matrix.wolfie.pw | Yeah, you pretty well have to grok the whole call stack around stdenv to know what needs to change | 13:29:21 |
| John Ericson | We can ignore many of the bad things in stdenv/linux today | 13:32:12 |
| John Ericson | but there are still some things to figure out like what does stenv/generic depends on exactly, etc. etc. | 13:32:33 |
| John Ericson | and probably cutting down dependencies we inadvertently have today. | 13:32:48 |
| John Ericson | Alyssa Ross: merged it | 13:33:35 |
| Alyssa Ross | thx | 13:33:42 |
| Alyssa Ross | I suspect that almost nothing in stdenv/linux is actually linux-specific. | 13:34:01 |
| John Ericson | yeah | 13:39:06 |
| John Ericson | but it is bad GCC sadness specific! | 13:39:14 |
| @penguincoder:matrix.wolfie.pw | This brings up an interesting idea… is there a debugger for evaluating nix? | 13:49:39 |
| Alyssa Ross | Yes! e.g. nix build --debugger | 13:51:07 |
| Alyssa Ross | see also https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/language/builtins.html?highlight=break#builtins-break | 13:51:23 |
