7c6f434c | To add Tier-4 support RFC is not needed, to add Tier-3 RFC is kind of not enough | 17:56:07 |
hexa | and the status quo is that we don't even have people to deal with the darwin machines as would be required | 17:56:12 |
@corngood:corngood.com | I was thinking of running my own hydra/builder, but I wanted to check in to make sure there's no existing plans for windows builds. It sounds like there isn't. | 17:56:43 |
dramforever | does nix builds even work on windows yet | 17:57:13 |
@corngood:corngood.com | we can cross build a system image tarball (including nix) from linux, and then boot it and use it to build itself natively on cygwin. I'm not sure about mingw/msvc. I don't think they are as far along | 17:58:32 |
hexa | Janne: are you offering? 🙂 | 17:58:45 |
dramforever | oh, yeah i was thinking more about msvc | 17:58:56 |
dramforever | that one probably doesn't work | 17:59:02 |
dramforever | cygwin probably does but i'm going to worry about the sandboxing | 17:59:32 |
Janne | Macos is not my main area of expertise. But tbh, windows would probably be way easier since there is software like trmm that makes fleet management easy while not costing a billion euros and locking you into their cloud | 17:59:42 |
Janne | I could take over Linux if you take over all of the macos infra though 🤔 | 18:00:19 |
@corngood:corngood.com | I've been wondering about sandboxing in general on windows. I'm not sure if anyone has made any progress on that. | 18:00:21 |
