| siraben | a minimal version could be upstreamed but barely anything would build | 22:14:10 |

 ortolanbunting3002 | What is the best way to add additional pkgsCross targets to my nixpkgs instantiation? | 21:10:53 |
 alexfmpe | huh? pkgsCross.foo is basically foo from https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/lib/systems/examples.nix | 21:55:14 |
| alexfmpe | do you mean ad-hoc anonymous targets? | 21:56:10 |
| alexfmpe | I think you just pass config etc inside --arg crossSystem

| ortolanbunting3002 | I wanted to have one pkgs object with additional pkgsCross targets so that I would only have to instantiate nixpkgs once. But I now went over to instantiating it once for every target that I need. | 00:09:51 |
| ortolanbunting3002 | Are these bugs?
nix-build -E '(import <nixpkgs> { crossOverlays = [(_: _: {})]; }).glibc'
nix-build -E '(import <nixpkgs> { crossOverlays = [(_: _: {})]; }).buildPackages.perl.pkgs.GlibObjectIntrospection'
I'm getting infinte recursion.
I'm guessing crossOverlays don't work if localSystem == crossSystem. But maybe nixpkgs should error then?
And in the second case the target's packages probably leak into GlibObjectIntrospection's dependencies
