 Arian | It says "doesn't belong to any branch or repo" | 11:06:19 |
| Arian | Anybody got an idea why the repo is in such a weird state? | 11:06:38 |
 adamcstephens | I think it’s because GitHub considers that repo a fork | 11:41:38 |
| adamcstephens | Can you fetch that branch or commit with git directly? | 11:41:54 |
| adamcstephens | * Can you fetch that tag or commit with git directly? | 11:42:11 |
| Arian | Nope. I can't :/ | 15:12:46 |
| Arian | Unable to checkout refs/tags/microvm-kernel-6.1.8..... | 15:13:09 |
| Arian | Oh I made a typo | 15:13:34 |
| Arian | Okay trying with fetchgit now. Just very slow | 15:14:36 |
| Arian | Yep worked. Thanks | 15:15:22 |

| Arian | @commiterate:matrix.org: do you remember why you added zstd as a buildInput to fluent-bit?
Fluent-bit started vendoring libzstd-1.5.7 in their tree but because we add zstd to buildInputs and nixos has a different version it somehow ends up dynamically linking to libzstd-1.5.6 but with the wrong headers. This causes fluent-bit to segfault | 22:34:54 |
| Arian | I hate fluent-bit | 22:35:05 |

| Arian | Okay... Fluent-bit just segfaults even without this stuff.. argh | 00:24:45 |
| Arian | It's due to libsystemd dlopening libzstd | 00:25:04 |

Okay... Fluent-bit just segfaults even without this stuff.. argh Go sleep, we going surfing tomorrow morning | 00:28:54 |
 commiterate | It's needed by rdkafka. Otherwise build complains that the library isn't available.

| commiterate | The way Fluent Bit does things is extremely cursed. | 03:52:54 |
| commiterate | It was a pretty terrible time getting the package to work properly. | 03:53:24 |

| commiterate | I didn't think it would be this brittle though. | 03:56:12 |
| commiterate | I feel like at some point they're just going to vendor their entire dependency graph and continue having 0 instructions on what's needed to build it, so the only working build setup will be theirs and people can only consume their pre-built binaries. | 03:59:10 |
| Arian | So the problem even occurs when I use all their vendores libraries | 08:17:00 |
| Arian | Problem is that libsystemd dlopens an incompatible libzstd into memory | 08:17:21 |
| Arian | And then all hell breaks loose | 08:17:27 |
| Arian | 🔥 | 08:17:45 |
| commiterate | Can't say I'm surprised with their lack of systemd tests in CI. Did this not fail the fluent-bit NixOS test? | 14:12:02 |
