Alyssa Ross | I'm fine with having Nixpkgs support them, but I'd be significatly less fine with Nixpkgs trying to support dead architectures that upstream toolchains have dropped support for. | 16:10:37 |
7c6f434c | Well, if we have avrgcc, one might argue for some flexibility on what counts as upstream toolchain (but of course the expectations on what patches can be pushed for compatibility fixes are quite restrictive for such a platform) | 16:18:45 |
Puna | does LLVM even support alpha? | 16:23:49 |
Puna | doesn't look like it, so anything needing LLVM or Rust would be off the table. not seeing any mentions of it in Go either. GHC can identify it, would have to yoink & patch another prebuilt compiler from debian to test that though. | 16:32:37 |
Artemis Tosini (NixOS) | nixpkgs can do ppc32, which go won't do | 19:00:32 |
Puna | yeah i guess no Go isn't much of a blocker | 19:15:21 |
Puna | (it's also a no-go on ppc64 cus they raised their baseline way too high, and refuse to undo it) | 19:17:11 |

Artemis Tosini (NixOS) | the most cursed architecture one could usefully add to nixpkgs might be netbsd-vax. Relies on somewhat better netbsd support though, most of the BSD work has been focused on FreeBSD | 13:34:01 |
Artemis Tosini (NixOS) | FreeBSD is fairly aggresive about dropping platform support, the only supported architectures for 16 are amd64, aarch64, armv7, powerprc64 (big endian), powerpc64le, and riscv64 (hard float) | 13:35:34 |
