 patryk4815 | * Nick Cao: This fix for gcc13 is only available on staging? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/275084 thanks for merging :) | 17:47:16 |

 fgaz | In reply to @patryk4815:matrix.orgIt's on master, not staging, and it has yet to reach the channels | 09:24:22 |
 pouspous | once https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/274853 we'll be able to fully cross-compile nixos-star64 and thus remove lib.optionals (stdenv.buildPlatform == stdenv.hostPlatform) | 14:05:08 |
| pouspous | (or at least I would find it nice to remove it by default) | 14:06:10 |

| fgaz | pouspous: I don't understand the connection between the two and why you want to remove that line | 14:49:41 |
| fgaz | * pouspous: I don't understand | 14:50:22 |
| fgaz | cross-compiled build time dependencies aren't going to help native builds, they have different hashes | 14:51:20 |
| fgaz | by the way, I plan to remove that part completely once I finish setting up my attic cache | 14:53:52 |
| pouspous | oh I didn't know that's a shame. so cross-compiling (say from x86_64 to riscv64) package in system.extraDependencies will still trigger a recompilation of those packages when request on the riscv machine ? | 14:56:42 |

| pouspous | I might not get the purpose of system.extraDependencies | 15:13:26 |
| pouspous | I understand this option as being a list of packages that must remain on the system, even if not necessarily referenced by anything in the store, right ? | 15:15:02 |
| fgaz | In reply to @pouspous:matrix.orgthat's correct, and is the reason why I wrote that conditional | 15:20:48 |
| fgaz | In reply to @pouspous:matrix.orgyes, and I use it as sort of a lighter version of system.includeBuildDependencies | 15:21:36 |
| pouspous | So why do cross-compiled packages in system.extraDependencies need recompilation when requested on the native machine, but not packages in environment.systemPackages. Them too should have a different hash right ? | 15:50:57 |

| fgaz | pouspous: both require recompilation. If you try to nixos-rebuild from a star64 that was flashed with a cross image, it will try to rebuild everything from the ground up | 15:57:37 |
| pouspous | oh ok it all makes sens now, thanks ! | 15:58:52 |
| pouspous | is same-hash cross-compilation something planned or possible, or am I just suggesting a total blasphemy ? | 15:59:44 |
| fgaz | you are not :) https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/62 | 16:02:04 |
| pouspous | neet ! | 16:02:46 |

 zrsk | Hey folks! I'm working with some RISC-V derivations and I'm a bit annoyed by the building speed (I'm using binfmt on a quite powerful x86_64 machine). I know that there is this cache (indeed I'm using it, with the same exact nixpkgs used to populate it) but still many derivations are not cached and at the same time I would like a more updated nixpkgs.Isn't there a community builder, right? Also I tried looking for cloud providers that offer RISC-V without luck, maybe there is one instead? I was also considering buying an SBC but they don't look so powerful (I checked the VisionFive2 and the Star64), I fear that I would get performances similar to my emulated RISC-V. | 18:11:18 |
 raitobezarius | There's no powerful RISC-V beyond the MilkV out there for now | 18:11:39 |
| raitobezarius | I would recommend waiting for one extra year probably | 18:11:45 |
| raitobezarius | Or 6 months | 18:11:48 |
| zrsk | Which model? Doesn't it use the JH7110 as the VIsion5? | 18:14:39 |
| raitobezarius | no milkv uses a Sophgo chip | 18:14:56 |
| zrsk | Anyway I need this sooner than 6 months unluckily (using binfmt is acceptable for my needs, just a bit painful) | 18:15:05 |
