 Sandro 🐧 | Did you try?
nixVersions = prev.nixVersions.extend (final: prev:
nixComponents_2_31 = prev.nixComponents_2_31.overrideScope (finalScope: prevScope: { stdenv = pkgs_25_05.clangStdenv; };
};

 oddlama | Yes that is looking good, thanks. Is this the preferred way to do overrides for those types of packages now? | 15:35:33 |

Yes that is looking good, thanks. Is this the preferred way to do overrides for those types of packages now? For the modular packaging - yes. Since now this is not a monolithic package that you can override | 16:04:22 |
| Sandro 🐧 | Also an example on how to add patches
nixComponents_2_31 = (prev.nixComponents_2_31.overrideScope (finalScope: prevScope: {
aws-sdk-cpp = null;
boost = boost231;
withAWS = false;
})).appendPatches (commonPatches ++ [
./nix-derivation-better-copy-2.30.diff
]);

 Winter | this is seemingly missing where commonPatches comes from fyi | 02:21:31 |

| Sandro 🐧 | That's just a list I have somewhere above in a let in | 08:50:56 |
|  aciceri changed their display name from zrsk to aciceri. | 15:02:57 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Curiously, Boehm granule size on 64 bit systems is 16 bytes. That means that 16 byte atomics for Value are very workable, since x86_64 needs stuff to be 16 bytes aligned (otherwise memory might straddle the cache line and that won’t be atomic ever) | 17:31:17 |
| 10 Sep 2025 |
|  SomeoneSerge (matrix works sometimes) changed their display name from SomeoneSerge (@nixcon & back on matrix) to SomeoneSerge (back on matrix). | 00:34:03 |
|  @nerves:bark.lgbt left the room. | 12:31:49 |
|  Hierophilos joined the room. | 14:18:45 |
|  matthewcroughan changed their display name from matthewcroughan @ nixcon to matthewcroughan. | 14:56:12 |
|  connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) changed their display name from connor (he/him) (UTC+2) to connor (he/him) (UTC-7). | 22:20:37 |

| getchoo | hey Mic92: just came across your comment on the detnix installer thread. i'm not super familiar with the codebase just yet, but i have a good bit of experience with gha and ci janitor work, and would love to help out if i can! :) | 00:16:11 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Here are some notes from our meeting with the installer team. I forgor to publish them to discourse https://pad.lassul.us/KgpbqiQpQEOX2cKF5Ehjwg# | 00:24:04 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Very incomplete and half-way | 00:24:49 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | But basically it'd be great to start integrating it into our dogfooding setup https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/master/.github/actions/install-nix-action/action.yaml | 00:25:28 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | PoC for 16 byte atomics on x86_64 for paralell eval: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/13964. Lovers of compiler intrinsics are welcome | 01:07:35 |
|  @jordanjoel1:matrix.org changed their profile picture. | 03:27:09 |
