@arrowd:kde.orgarrowd Eelco Hi, I see you merged a PR in https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf
Could you also please take a look at https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/pull/638 and https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/pull/636 ? These should be fairly simple to review.

@pveierland:matrix.orgpveierlandIs it intentional that xz files are created as a single compressed block from nix?08:54:05
@pveierland:matrix.orgpveierland * 08:54:33
@pveierland:matrix.orgpveierland * 08:55:32
@pveierland:matrix.orgpveierlandI'd guess it could relate to determinism and avoiding additional parameters.09:01:02
@pveierland:matrix.orgpveierland * 09:03:08
@flokli:matrix.orgflokliFileHash is not verified at all, and some people looked into using multi-block for various usecases.09:06:47
@flokli:matrix.orgflokliIn the end the conclusion was that xz isn't really worth it, which is why we're now with zstd.09:07:11
@pveierland:matrix.orgpveierlandIs zstd in use on cache.nixos.org now? Does it support ranged reads?09:08:12
@flokli:matrix.orgfloklizstd is in use. Don't know if it allows ranged reads.09:08:53
@pveierland:matrix.orgpveierlandDo you know why it was chosen over brotli?09:09:40
@flokli:matrix.orgflokliNo09:09:57
@flokli:matrix.orgflokliIdeally all the compression parts would be a content-encoding concern, so range requests wouldn't need to be complicated at all. That's what snix-nar-bridge does, it sends Compression: none and relies on libcurl to request zstd-compressed. That of course not realistic for the c.n.o situation, where we currently serve from the bucket "directly", as it would be even more costly than it already is.09:11:57
