j-k: you might find this interesting. once i got from stage0 to almost gcc4 i think? https://github.com/emilytrau/nixpkgs/tree/bootstrap0 thanks for the link!
your pkgs/build-support/fetchgit/boot.nix will be very useful, I didn't know you could do that with builtins. Just using builtins.fetchgit directly & not really showing in the tree was bugging me | 08:36:32 |
 Alyssa Ross | delroth: that's a gcc that runs on RISC-V | 13:51:13 |

 delroth | oh, duh | 13:51:27 |
| delroth | yes, sorry | 13:51:29 |

doesn't what? as far as i cant tell, the purpose of stage0-posix is to have the smallest possible binary that you trust | 18:45:30 |
| @genericnerdyusername:matrix.org | throwing nix in there means you have to trust the nix binary (and boostrap for it) | 18:45:58 |
| j-k | having a bottom up view of how the parts in your nix world were built is 100% valuable | 21:51:56 |
| @genericnerdyusername:matrix.org | fair | 21:52:33 |

| delroth | imo one of the underrated benefits of stage0 based bootstrap is that unlike ~all of nixpkgs, there are few people who can update and apply changes to the nix bootstrap tarball, it's big enough that it can't really be stored in nixpkgs itself and needs to live on an external nixos infra server | 17:56:58 |
| delroth | last time I needed a change done to the bootstrap tarball it took weeks to find someone who would have time to take care of it... | 17:57:29 |

 emilytrau | I wanted to kick off the effort of incorporating a stage0-based bootstrap into nixpkgs. I rewrote and cleaned up my prev work and put up a PR for discussion :))) https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/227914 | 05:12:12 |

 artemis | In reply to @matthewcroughan:defenestrate.it
To anybody who thinks they could help out with RISC-V on NixOS apply to this form, and it's pretty easy/chill this time around, it's likely you'll get a board directly ive gotten a couple group-emails from jeff@riscv.org about this now so i guess that means they accepted my application? pretty neat | 22:18:22 |
 matthewcroughan - nix.how | yeah I pinged him a few weeks ago and asked whether I was getting a board, and said I've posted the form here | 22:19:04 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | he finally responded a few weeks ago and said that people have been asking him where the boards are | 22:19:18 |
| artemis | i never got a direct "hey we'll give you a board" but i appear to be on some sort of list | 22:19:21 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | The board distribution has always been slow from Jeff, because he's busy and stuff | 22:19:59 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | But they do always get there in the end | 22:20:09 |
| artemis | i am looking forward to it | 22:20:24 |
| artemis | i'll probably be installing gentoo on mine and then installing nix on gentoo in addition | 22:20:40 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | Raw NixOS for me :P | 22:21:01 |
