| Ed Langley joined the room. | 20:25:50 |
Ed Langley | Has any work been done to target FreeBSD? | 20:26:30 |
Corbin | Yes, although I'm not sure about the current status of things. | 20:28:33 |
sterni | Ed Langley: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/82131 | 20:29:49 |
sterni | FreeBSD stdenv is still in disrepair | 20:30:33 |
Ed Langley | Interesting, It'd be cool to have a third reasonable platform for nix (after darwin/linux) | 20:34:10 |
7c6f434c | You could even say second | 20:34:38 |
7c6f434c | I think NetBSD support might be in a more useful shape than FreeBSD right now | 20:35:02 |
| * qbit has been tossing around the idea of throwing monies at getting openbsd support | 20:38:36 |
qbit | i have taken a crack at it myself a few times - but my time is now mostly spent with newborn child \o/ | 20:41:42 |
Corbin | https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0046-platform-support-tiers.md might be useful for perspective. Adding BSD support has a "clear path", at least. | 20:41:51 |
7c6f434c | Nix on FreeBSD has history of having been a Hydra platform, and I think FreeBSD ports have patches for getting somewhat useful Nix built… | 20:42:47 |
