| Domen Kožar | rsync -rlpt --chmod=-w ./store/* "$NIX_ROOT/store/"
| 19:43:08 |
| Domen Kožar | does someone know the equivalent cp command? | 19:43:20 |
 infinisil | Domen Kožar: Can't rsync be installed? | 19:44:12 |
| Domen Kožar | it can be installed, but it currently leaves a half-completed Nix install | 19:44:44 |
| Domen Kožar | which requires manual uninstallation | 19:44:55 |
| Domen Kožar | it's quite a bad experience if you want to try Nix | 19:45:05 |
| infinisil | Ah yeah.. Then I think it should check for an rsync before it starts installing | 19:45:55 |
| infinisil | I wouldn't be surprised for there to be a reason that rsync is used instead of cp, as rsync is a lot better in many regards | 19:46:18 |
 chreekat | Based on the arguments, which I'm not gonna look up right now, I guess it's doing some attribute preservation/manipulation. It could probably be replaced with a combo of cp and chmod. Update: i looked it up, I guess cp -rdp would do the same thing for all the preservation. I'm not actually sure what --chmod=-w means... | 19:54:35 |
| chreekat | Maybe it's doing chmod a-w? | 19:55:43 |
| chreekat changed their display name from bryan to chreekat. | 19:59:02 |
| chreekat | Funny how it feels more natural to use chreekat. "Who is bryan?" | 19:59:58 |
| Domen Kožar | chmod=-w is probably removing the write mode? | 20:26:35 |

 nixinator | it's also preserving symlinks...... rsync is 'probably used for speed'. | 21:25:39 |
| nixinator | the nix store as i've seen is pretty 'ordinary' in terms of file structure. | 21:26:05 |
| nixinator | * it's also preserving symlinks...... rsync is 'probably used for speed'. unless there's something lurking in there... | 21:28:21 |
| nixinator | at a guess it's some like cp -RP :-) | 21:36:27 |
