 emily | does the nix.conf cores setting apply to remote builder use? | 00:40:02 |
| emily | seems like a good idea if so | 00:40:07 |
| emily | though picking a balance is always hard, it's the old big-parallel problem. but cores = jobs = nproc is probably not ideal for a shared machine | 00:40:49 |
 zowoq | cores will apply to remote builds but everyone is trusted so it can be overridden if running builds directly on the box. | 00:47:25 |

I have reduced --max-jobs to 4 for the darwin builders, but when 4 "big" packages are built at the same time the load can grow too much for sure.
Please set max-jobs to 1.
is there a way to set the --cores option from the remote builders configuration
No, not supported.
how far are we budget-wise from getting more mac builders
Not planning to get more mac builders and budget-wise we haven't covered the cost of the new aarch64-linux build box yet.
Ok thanks for the details.
I have set it to 1 now. | 06:45:44 |

xcode-select: error: No developer tools were found and no install could be requested (possibly because there is no active GUI session).
If developer tools are located at a non-default location on disk, use `sudo xcode-select --switch path/to/Xcode.app` to specify the Xcode that you wish to use for command line developer tools.
Use `xcode-select --install` to install the standalone command line developer tools, or visit http://adc.apple.com to download Xcode or the standalone command line tools installation package.
See `man xcode-select` for more details.
uh. how is this intended to work?

| Gaétan Lepage | Those packages ignore cores this is very annoying | 14:57:48 |
 Roberto Abdelkader Martínez Pérez | Is there a way to issue a warning (e.g., with builtins.warn) only when a package is being built locally and not fetched from the cache? Looking to notify users during the build process without blocking it. Any ideas? | 16:16:28 |

Looking to notify users during the build process without blocking it. Any ideas? not really, every bit of the derivation is evaluated when building to determine the hash so a warning will show up regardless | 16:20:46 |

Seems something broke in the last flake update, I've reverted the update on that machine.
