 connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) | That was evaluating all of the closures attribute in nixos/release.nix with nix eval --json | 20:40:10 |
| connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) | There is some, but it blocks forever, doesn’t do cleanup, and lacks a few other features needed for different types of builtin fetchers and substitutions | 20:41:22 |
| connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) | Robbie Buxton have you run into this (or seen anyone run into it)? You’re one of the like three people I know who use PyTorch from Nixpkgs other than myself | 20:42:49 |

Robbie Buxton have you run into this (or seen anyone run into it)? You’re one of the like three people I know who use PyTorch from Nixpkgs other than myself I haven’t run into that but I have run into libcuda failing on trying to dlopen things it claims to not depend on | 21:07:52 |
| Robbie Buxton | Regarding that issue iirc RPATHS are recursive but RUNPATHS aren’t and if a RUNPATH exists the RPATH won’t be used (its replacing RPATHs) | 21:12:39 |
| Robbie Buxton | I think @[Ari Lotter] is right and we should add it as an (undocumented) dep or cudnn | 21:15:47 |
| Robbie Buxton | * I think @[Ari Lotter] is right and we should add it as an (undocumented) dep of cudnn | 21:15:56 |
 apyh | adding it as a cudnn dep doesn't work still though from my testing | 21:16:10 |
| Robbie Buxton | How are you adding it? | 21:16:20 |
| apyh | i tried it as a propagatedBuildInput | 21:16:30 |
| apyh | the only thing i managed was to pass it in ld library path manually :/ | 21:16:43 |
| Robbie Buxton | Oh you’ll need to patchelf it | 21:16:44 |
| apyh | err.. but it uses dlopen, right? | 21:17:13 |
| Robbie Buxton | Sure but then it’ll know where it is no? | 21:17:32 |
| apyh | my understanding is that bare soname dlopen doesn't care about that | 21:18:01 |
| apyh | like we'd have to patch the *python* binary | 21:18:13 |
| apyh | (very possible. I'm completely wrong here though, this is all new to me) | 21:18:23 |
| Robbie Buxton | A bare no name dlopen will check the runpaths for where it’s being called form | 21:18:26 |
| apyh | right, but that's the top level executable, python, not the libraries in the chain, no? | 21:18:58 |
| Robbie Buxton | Nah each library checks its own runpath | 21:19:15 |
| Robbie Buxton | As it goes down the call chain | 21:19:21 |
