 sterni | I think a realistic aim would be to get the first BSD in NetBSD with a native and pure stdenv of the ground 2022/2023 | 20:58:09 |
| sterni | NetBSD is easier because we have good cross support already (cross compiling bootstrap tools would be the idea) and because the NetBSD project values ABI compat, so it'll be less problematic / maintenance intensive | 20:59:27 |
 Ryan Burns | I had a terrible time trying to autoconf Nix on solaris a while back, is the situation on BSD a bit better for building from source? | 20:59:39 |
| sterni | I think patches may still be required, but things have improved a bit | 21:00:09 |
| sterni | OpenBSD / FreeBSD break ABI compat regularly / on occasion | 21:01:16 |
| sterni | in theory a similar situation with macOS and libSystem, but this means that even a native and pure stdenv for Open/FreeBSD can bitrot, so a bigger challenge to support | 21:01:56 |
| sterni | so NetBSD would be a good way to get into the BSD territory and there was apparently some interest from the NetBSD side as well | 21:02:27 |
 qbit | openbsd potentially every 6 months | 21:05:38 |
| qbit | current port of openbsd's nix port: https://github.com/jasperla/openbsd-wip/tree/master/devel/nix | 21:05:39 |
 ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️ | iirc there was (is?) some work on not only nix on netbsd, but nixos as well | 21:53:59 |
| sterni | ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️: yeah, netbsd cross works already | 23:05:10 |

 Ed Langley | What I’d really like is a way to build a jail using nix to declare its contents | 00:09:04 |
| Ed Langley | I think I can do this in FreeBSD 13 using Linux emulation. | 00:09:47 |
| qbit | Sounds terrifying:D | 01:06:22 |

| sterni | new solo5 build system has been released: https://github.com/Solo5/solo5/releases/tag/v0.7.0 | 13:52:28 |
| 1 Jan 2022 |
| sterni | arrrgh of course solo5 uses "wrong" terminology as well | 12:05:30 |

C compiler, linker and objcopy used for target toolchain and bindings.
Experimental: If a cross-toolchain is specified here, the resulting
target toolchain and bindings will be cross-compiled to its
architecture.
should get an award for being as confusing as possible

| Zhaofeng Li | $150 for the board itself which has sold out, but the kit is still available at $175 | 20:57:19 |
 [0x4A6F] | Applications to the Sponsoring Program are due by 2021-01-07 | 21:49:49 |

| [0x4A6F] | Sponsoring maybe part of this initiative from RISC-V. | 10:20:32 |

 Corbin | Is k8s an exotic target, or is there a channel for it? | 01:07:31 |
| Corbin | I just want to read about alternatives to https://github.com/xtruder/kubenix | 01:08:03 |
| Zhaofeng Li | In reply to @corbin:matrix.org
Is k8s an exotic target, or is there a channel for it? I think the Cloud Native channel works better for this | 01:27:21 |
| Zhaofeng Li | This channel is primarily for Nix on weird platforms, like FreeBSD | 01:28:07 |
