 dish [Fox/It/She] | is there any information available about the current state of bootstrapping nixpkgs in general, or do I just have to look at the code and sort stuff out? | 21:05:56 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | not just minimal-bootstrap, but how bootstrap-files and such are used currently | 21:06:25 |
 K900 | Not much written down | 21:08:42 |
| K900 | But basically bootstrap-files goes into gcc goes into stdenv goes into everything else | 21:08:58 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | gotcha | 21:14:07 |
 emily | I think replacing the bootstrap tarballs derivation with one that contains a bunch of symlinks to the final steps of the minimal bootstrap would probably be the most expedient integration point | 21:19:25 |

| dish [Fox/It/She] | okay my first step atm is updating the bootstrap chain, we're on stage0-posix 1.6.0 atm, and we can go to 1.9.1 which requires a bunch of dependency upgrades so I'm working through those. Once that's finished, then I want to try and replace bootstrap-files and see what blows up | 00:45:05 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | should probably make a public page or something but for now im just tracking it locally | 00:45:35 |
