376197 is one I am looking forward too because I tried wrestling pkgsCross in the past and the way the CPU attributes are setup now made it harder than it needed to be Yeah, that PR is delayed because the toolchain attributes PR is needed. | 21:06:04 |
 rosssmyth | I work in embedded, so I've found some fun corners of the pkgsCross system that lead to me mainly giving up on using it for now. One is that cmake's targets are not the same as clang's, so for certain triples compiler-rt seems to be built for the wrong target. I think that was the outcome of one afternoon of staring at logs a couple months ago. | 21:12:53 |
| Tristan Ross | Yeah, that's one of the use cases that I had thought of for the platform improvements | 21:14:58 |
| Tristan Ross | The idea is to be able to manipulate as much as possible. | 21:15:10 |
| Tristan Ross | There's obviously combinations which don't work | 21:15:35 |
| Tristan Ross | But there's combinations which would work and it would be better than what we can provide currently. | 21:15:58 |
 Randy Eckenrode | If the cross situation can get to the point where building stuff with Wine is less painful, that would be great. | 21:59:01 |

| rosssmyth | So far I've found building with mingwW64 to be pretty easy. I have a Rust DLL I ship to customers I build with Nix. | 15:44:20 |

 Find me at aleksana:qaq.li | Not sure if here is the place to ask it, but why don't we set __darwinAllowLocalNetworking = true in darwin stdenv? | 16:08:32 |
| Find me at aleksana:qaq.li | This is causing problems for contributors, just because the situation on darwin platform is different from Linux, and people without a machine don't know how to properly fix it. | 16:10:23 |
| Find me at aleksana:qaq.li | And it's even undocumented | 16:14:50 |
 emily | it's a purity hole | 17:23:53 |
| emily | Darwin doesn't have network namespaces, Linux does | 17:23:57 |
| emily | in particular you can puncture the sandbox with it somewhat, although the Darwin sandbox is moderately porous to begin with | 17:24:28 |
