@juhp:matrix.orgJens PetersenI have been experimenting with using a bind mount for /nix in fedora - so far looks promising The idea is just to bind /var/nix to /nix when possible - this would allow nix to to use normally in an atomic/immutable OS I can share the fedora PR if anyone interested15:14:56
@juhp:matrix.orgJens Petersen* I have been experimenting with using a bind mount for /nix in fedora - so far looks promising The idea is just to bind /var/nix to /nix when possible - this would allow nix to be used normally in an atomic/immutable OS I can share the fedora PR if anyone interested15:15:22
@k900:0upti.meK900That is more or less what Valve is doing on SteamOS15:15:45
@k900:0upti.meK900And it works fine15:15:47
@juhp:matrix.orgJens Petersen* I have been experimenting with using a bind mount for /nix in fedora (using systemd) - so far looks promising The idea is just to bind /var/nix to /nix when possible - this would allow nix to be used normally in an atomic/immutable OS I can share the fedora PR if anyone interested15:15:49
@juhp:matrix.orgJens PetersenOkay15:15:55
@k900:0upti.meK900https://github.com/Jovian-Experiments/PKGBUILDs-mirror/tree/jupiter-main/holo-nix-offload15:16:37
@juhp:matrix.orgJens Petersen* Okay - it should I suppose - just I am not a systemd expert so it has been a bit of assisted learning ;)15:16:56
@juhp:matrix.orgJens PetersenThanks - mine is https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/nix/pull-request/315:17:42

@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericson Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium): did you run nix-util-tests in a derivation by any chance? 21:05:20
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericsonfor wine21:05:26
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Nope, manually21:05:35
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericsonhmm ok21:06:54
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericsonwas the symlink dll setup hook working? or did you just cp things with a development build?21:07:19
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericson Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium): ah nix-build -A packages.x86_64-linux.nix-util-tests-x86_64-w64-mingw32.passthru.tests.run works better for reasons unknown :) 21:20:09
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericsonbut when i manually ran wine, yeah it doesn't like the dll symlinks and says things are missing21:20:23
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Yeah I copied stuff around. There's also an issue with libcurl that's missing the nghttp2 dll completely21:20:48
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericsonrunning the libstore equivalent of that it crashed earlier on some exception21:21:18
