 matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | I'm young | 16:57:15 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | Looks like https://github.com/perl5-dbi/dbi actually | 17:00:08 |
 Alyssa Ross | it's not to perl, it's just a perl package | 17:00:09 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | Yeah I meant to the perl ecosystem | 17:00:18 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | like it's not always clear where the sources or appropriate upstream path is | 17:00:33 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | sometimes github, sometimes mailing lists, sometimes nowhere | 17:00:40 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | and since we use mirror:// that further masks it | 17:01:00 |
| Alyssa Ross | looks like they merge PRs in this case | 17:01:12 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | NIce! | 17:01:16 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | * Nice! | 17:01:22 |
| Alyssa Ross | BTW: if something is going to be broken on every musl distro (like this fix), please try to take the fix upstream before working around it in Nixpkgs. If we all do this (and the other distros usually do), it's less work for all of us than if we all have to separately apply the same workarounds downstream. | 17:02:29 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | I can't find a reference to off64_t in their sources on github | 17:02:31 |
| Alyssa Ross | hmm, maybe it got fixed already? | 17:02:42 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | The reason I make the PRs isn't always to get it merged, but to provide a reproducer that allows others to tell me that it should be upstreamed | 17:03:06 |
| Alyssa Ross | presumably the build error shows you were off64_t was used | 17:03:08 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | I'm not as experienced, so I need someone like you to tell me that I need to upstream it | 17:03:14 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | More like a request for comment really | 17:03:39 |
| Alyssa Ross | ah, in that case drafting the PR is a good way to communicate that | 17:03:49 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | Okay I can start doing that | 17:03:56 |
