 K900 | And it will take a lot of work to make it happen | 20:41:00 |
 frontear | That’s insightful thank you. I’ll go get an actual system setup for my sake then | 20:42:33 |
 rosssmyth | We are working on it!

 Winter | Can I get an explanation of the propagation mapOffset stuff? I know that e.g. if I want something in nativeBuiildInputs to propagate to buildInputs, depsTargetTargetPropagated is the way, but no mater which way I subtract/add the offsets, nothing is consistent enough that I trust my math is right. | 13:24:39 |

| rosssmyth | How is one supposed to write tests to ensure cross-compilation continues working if you are not supposed to write "pkgsCross" in derivations | 01:30:57 |
| rosssmyth | including for passthru tests | 01:31:19 |
| rosssmyth | Based upon: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/430515#issuecomment-3148477761 | 01:33:45 |
 emily | I don't see an issue with it for passthru.tests | 01:34:57 |
| emily | other than maybe there might be a technical problem with the "disabling variants in the package set" machinery | 01:35:11 |
| rosssmyth | Apparently there is though | 01:35:44 |
| rosssmyth | John Ericson: Can you provide some insight as to why this should not be done? | 01:37:05 |
| emily | you can probably cheat by import path { … } 🙃 | 01:37:13 |
| emily | maybe ping wolfgangwalther in an issue and ask for his take | 01:37:17 |
| emily | by a technical problem, I mean it not working because we want to flip the "allow variants" switch off by default | 01:37:33 |
| emily | which might cause pkgsCross to simply not be possible to reference from Nixpkgs | 01:37:46 |
| emily | OTOH, there are things to work out before that would be feasible, for pkgsCross | 01:37:54 |
| emily | if there is no immediate technical limitation to using it for passthru.tests then I see no problem doing it there | 01:38:06 |
| emily | (but it should still be avoided in actual derivation bodies where possible) | 01:38:15 |
 dramforever | if it's an entire platform maybe we should add it to pkgs/top-level/release-cross.nix | 01:38:21 |
| dramforever | although tbh i'm not sure who's watching that | 01:39:58 |
| rosssmyth | Perhaps, mingwW64 is already on there but it seems for some subset of packages | 01:40:08 |
| rosssmyth | I don't even know where to look for such things. I do not understand the Hydra interface if it is there somewhere | 01:42:57 |
|  @creepinson:matrix.org left the room. | 01:43:03 |
| dramforever | this probably https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixpkgs/cross-trunk | 01:44:25 |
| rosssmyth | I would like to fix rust cross compiling for mingwW64, as it has been broken for a while, but I would also like to add a test so it doesn't break in the future is my motivation | 01:48:00 |
