 Nadia | does anyone have any insight in what could be going wrong here? I'm encountering the same problem (but I'm not the one who posted the thread) https://discourse.nixos.org/t/embedded-compilation-with-llvm-clang/72406 | 14:43:13 |
 bake.monorail | Gentle reminder about the uclibc PR :) | 23:00:15 |

| bake.monorail | I'm rather sad that end-of-life'd compilers are dropped from nixpkgs. old compilers are sometimes very useful. is it such a large burden to keep them alive? | 13:18:38 |
 K900 | Yes | 13:19:06 |
| K900 | Extremely so | 13:19:08 |
| bake.monorail | can you elaborate? | 13:19:47 |
 matthewcroughan | Who is going to fix things when they break? | 13:20:47 |
| matthewcroughan | do you just assume they build forever? | 13:20:51 |
| matthewcroughan | that's a veneer that nixpkgs provides because people fix it you know | 13:20:58 |
| K900 | Nixpkgs also patches compilers fairly extensively | 13:21:01 |
| K900 | And adds additional wrappers on top | 13:21:07 |
| K900 | Which needs to be compatible with all supported compilers | 13:21:18 |
| K900 | This is all a significant amount of work | 13:21:27 |
| matthewcroughan | only the things that actually get used/maintained, or that don't break often are included in nixpkgs pretty much | 13:21:32 |
