 Capypara | I searched the repo and found just one reference to this issue. Myself! While trying to build a previous Jetbrains update locally. This is so strange... | 15:51:28 |
 eveeifyeve | Huge task to do, but I feel that I can pull it off. | 15:53:52 |
| Capypara | Wishing you best of luck, the Jetbrains stack is quite the beast | 15:54:21 |

| Capypara | I'm pretty sure at this point it's because of the Nix version or configuration changes (I know things regarding the build dir changed)
The problem is that some people also have this locally now, we need to fix it, but I just don't know how

 Benedikt Ritter (britter) | For the love of god, I'm unable to run nixpkgs-review on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/455979
I've based it and tried nixpkgs-review with two different machines but they both keep crashing due to the amount of stuff tjat is being rebuild. These are no shitty 500€ laptops. It's a Framework 13 with Ryzen AI and a ThinkPad X1 with Intel Core 9 Ultra.
How am I supposed to get thumbs up for this single line change? Or any change to Gradle build support? 😩

| Benedikt Ritter (britter) | That's a neat trick, running npm directly.
I'm planning to look jnto packaging kestra soon and that also has a frontend component wrapped in Gradle. | 19:16:16 |

| Benedikt Ritter (britter) | Does anybody have an idea how to move forward with https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/455979 ?
Cant get a review, cant run nixpkgs-review. Should we just give up and drop gradle build support all together? 😅

 linsui | Should nixpkgs require using jre_minimal for java packages? I found that it can save lots of space. Those java packages were the largest packages on my system. | 18:25:41 |
| linsui | And it's pretty easy to use jre_minimal. | 18:25:54 |
 raboof | The question is what modules to enable: you don't want a 'minimal' set for each application because then you'd end up with multiple different variants on your system. When I wrote jre_minimal IIRC I assumed the 'minimal with everything enabled' would be about the size of the original jdk. That might not be true though. OTOH if you really want to save space you might want to pick a jre_minimal with exactly the modules enabled that are needed on your system. | 20:57:08 |
| linsui | Yes, this is what I mean. We should build different jre_minimal for different packages. And I thought for most users this can save space. A jdk package is about as 8 times large as a jre_minimal package. So unless I have more than 8 java packages installed, the total size is smaller. | 21:19:30 |

| Benedikt Ritter (britter) | I was finally able to run nixpkgs-review on this PR. For me using --build-args="--max-jobs 1" did the trick. This will limit parallel derivations being built to 1. The gradle build running inside will still use up all available cores. I think thats the issue when not uaing thia flag. You will essentially get num of cores parallel Gradle builds, each using all cores.
Running nixpkgs-review still took mire than 8 hours for this PR...
There are some build failures but I think they are all unrelated. Can I please, please, PLEASE get a review now?
