 emily | I've noticed lately that the key to getting things merged in Nixpkgs is to have a PR message of approximately 5 times the length of the diff | 18:31:41 |
 Philip Taron (UTC-8) | It does help that it reads like a motion made with careful forethought and background. In this case, it was actually an anime gif from the release manager that sealed the deal. | 18:33:51 |

yes and no: we have a strong indication that jfsutils sometimes produces a different output (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/276433), but it's rare enough that I have never actually ran into that when trying to reproduce the ISO by the way, this problem is most likely caused by the gnu&llvm strip bug, since I can't reproduce this very strange output with dontStrip = true (after 1000+ rebuilds, with dontStrip = false it fails to reproduce under ~300 rebuilds)
and this is the end, my strength was not enough for further debugging :(

| Kamilla 'ova | and I was able to reproduce this only in the nix build sandbox, but I did't try to reproduce this with genericBuild under the jfsutils's nix-shell | 20:07:55 |
| emily | thank you for your work on it :) | 20:08:47 |
| emily | I hope someone does figure it out | 20:08:54 |
| emily | even if it won't affect the ISO any longer | 20:09:00 |

 tpw_rules | reproducibility-focused friends, i have a derivation which uses the arm embedded and the rpi pico toolchain which builds a .bin and a .elf. i'd like to avoid stripping the debug info but the .elf becomes filled with /build/<8 random chars>.o object names which breaks reproducibility. how can i fix it? | 20:37:39 |
