liberodark	being also a small user of nixos it is important to me that everyone can work in good conditions. To improve this architecture.	11:30:25
Pratham Patel (you can mention me)	Nice work, thank you - a NixOS user	11:31:00
Alex	In reply to @liberodark:matrix.org If you need to work on RISC-V servers, don't hesitate to ask me, I will provide some for free. Are you able to share the specs of those servers? Esp. CPU model	11:31:17
liberodark	I don't want to advertise here so I won't put the link to my RISC-V project here, I don't want to spam but don't hesitate to ping me.	11:31:28
liberodark	In reply to @alex:tunstall.xyz Are you able to share the specs of those servers? Esp. CPU model Yes	11:31:34
liberodark	Im go to share C920 C910 & JH7110	11:31:56
liberodark	* Im go to share SoC : C920 C910 & JH7110	11:34:06
liberodark	Currently it is Debian which is offered on my infrastructure. But I can make the C910 and JH7110 completely available to you in case you want to have nixos on it, which I would understand.	11:35:25
liberodark	If of course it can be useful to you.	11:36:28
liberodark	Best Regards	11:36:31

Li-ion	Alex have you encountered an issue with openldap-2.6.7-riscv64-linux	23:36:17

Alex	In reply to @hive:the-apothecary.club Alex have you encountered an issue with openldap-2.6.7-riscv64-linux I don't appear to have built it recently. (At the moment I'm focused on building GHC, so it's unlikely I've built anything outside of the closure of GHC or a full NixOS system.)	00:41:34
Li-ion	alright	00:41:53
Li-ion	as far as i know this is something you would need for a full nixos system but i could be wrong	00:42:34
Alex	In reply to @hive:the-apothecary.club as far as i know this is something you would need for a full nixos system but i could be wrong Nope. `[nixos@nixos:~]$ nix-store -qR /run/current-system \| grep -we openldap [nixos@nixos:~]$`	00:43:54
Li-ion	rats	00:44:54
Alex	(And this system is on a recent `nixos-unstable` commit)	00:44:56
Li-ion	is there a way to see what it's being required by ?	00:46:14

Alex	`nix why-depends` See `man nix3-why-depends`	00:46:35
Li-ion	ok	00:46:38
Alex	The nom tree looks pretty clear btw: you have a `git` package in your path -- is that `gitFull` instead of the regular `git`?	00:47:26
Li-ion	i'll check	00:47:44
Li-ion	oh yeah that was it thank u	00:48:48

Alex	In reply to @skeuchel:matrix.org Here are my estimates On the pioneer: Unregisterised release+profiled_libs: >30h Unregisterised quick+no_profiled_libs: 18h Registerised release+profiled_libs: 12h Registerised quick+no_profiled_libs: 9h Using qemu user-mode Registerised release+profiled_libs: 8h Registerised quick+no_profiled_libs: 6h I've measured ~22h for building an unregisterised GHC 9.2.8 booted via an unregisterised GHC 8.10.7 when running on VF2 (JH7110 SoC). (Default flavour with profiled libraries, dynamic libraries, and documentation enabled.) One minor difference to a typical RV64GC build is that I also enable Zba and Zbb. I have no idea what performance impact this has on my hardware. That a Milk-V Pioneer would take over 30h to do the same is surprising.	10:55:37
Pratham Patel (you can mention me)	Another spec bump for the Oasis: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/sophon-sg2380-new-choice-aipc-%E7%AE%97%E8%83%BD-rychc/	10:56:15

I have no idea what performance impact this has on my hardware. That a Milk-V Pioneer would take over 30h to do the same is surprising. I just remembered that I have logs, so: configurePhase completed in 1 minutes 37 seconds buildPhase completed in 21 hours 32 minutes 2 seconds installPhase completed in 8 minutes 33 seconds fixupPhase completed in 4 minutes 7 seconds (unpack and patch phases don't appear to log timings.)	11:00:55
[0x4A6F]	Are you running on SDcard or NVMe on the VF2?	11:06:04
Alex	NVMe	11:06:10
