 insipx | * here's my attempt at iOS Cross Compilation: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/512100 would love feedback on if i'm going in the right direction. haven't started on any "prebuilt" stuff, but with that stack i'm able to cross-compile all libxmtp ios libraries for I'm lucky to have two M1 Macbook Pros to use as remote builders to churn through these builds, but they still take 2-8 hours depending on how deep in the stack the change is so wanted to come for some early feedback if possible. overall some of the changes to compiler-rt/gnugrep feel hacky but not sure of an alternate path. seems nix eval doesn't like the hardcoded path to xcode so something i gotta redo | 16:40:39 |

 nasso | idk if i did an oopsie but i have 2 users on my machine and sometimes i can't darwin-rebuild switch from one of them (something something "need permissions to update applications" something something "if you didn't get a notification go to settings -> privacy & security -> ...")like, i dont get the notification, and the system settings seem fine... ...but then i switched to the other user and... oh! a notification! ...what?? and i can darwin-rebuild switch from that other user....is this a known/common issue? | 09:48:49 |
| nasso | it only happens sometimes for some reason | 09:48:59 |
| nasso | things that might be relevant idk:

 viraptor | Hammerspoon compiled through swbuild 🎉 {"id":92,"kind":"targetComplete"} {"kind":"buildCompleted","result":"ok"} Now there's so much to patch / upstream / whatever. I'll open a tracking issue for that, because I'm still trying to figure out what is still alive and what I need to fork (sigtool is unknown for example) | 23:22:01 |

| viraptor | Tracking hammerspoon, but actually also the overall xcode building https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/512622 | 02:09:27 |
 emily | sigtool needs replacing with rcodesign | 02:12:15 |
| emily | no point maintaining that moribund codebase | 02:12:20 |
| viraptor | wow, rcodesign has some serious dependency explosion, I don't wanna know why it's compiling aws-sdk-sso 😱 | 02:23:37 |
| viraptor | also the CLI options are incompatible with codesign... I'll have to check if patching swift-build, or a wrapper would be more reasonable. | 02:24:57 |
| emily | it needs a codesign(1)-compatible CLI upstream, but the underlying library implements everything required | 02:59:06 |
 lorne | if sigtool has any value left and there are people willing to continue developing it, I think we should transfer it to nix-community or similar | 03:09:41 |
| viraptor | I asked, let's see https://github.com/indygreg/apple-platform-rs/issues/300 | 03:35:15 |
| emily | https://github.com/indygreg/apple-platform-rs/issues/24 | 11:16:54 |
| viraptor | 🤦 I actually looked through the open issues, missed it. Thanks for the link | 11:18:30 |
 Randy Eckenrode | PSA: Don’t let your disk fill up, or you won’t be able to delete any files. Whoops. | 12:56:17 |
| Randy Eckenrode | I left a build going overnight while I was away. I came back to 91 MiB free space on my disk. I had to delete the store to free up space. I’m working to get things back online now. | 12:56:39 |
| viraptor | Don't get close to full either... the latency gets absurd in the high 90%s 😢 | 14:22:52 |
 jonhermansen | Does anyone know how to set up a Linux builder with Determinate Nix? I wanted to try it, but maybe it is hidden behind some feature toggle or I'm clueless. With nix-darwin I can set nix.linux-builder.enable = true, does determinate have its own module I need to include? | 14:39:21 |
| insipx | afaiu the linux builder for determinate is experimental and invite-only,at least last I checked | 14:41:33 |
| insipx | you can email them for access: https://docs.determinate.systems/troubleshooting/native-linux-builder/ | 14:42:13 |
| jonhermansen | Thanks, I should have read the fine print. I will try the email route. | 16:01:54 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Okay, I’m back. Deleting the store and doing some cleanup freed up ~400 GiB of space. I should hopefully be good for a while. Took the opportunity to update to Lix 2.95.1. Yay for being able to set log-format in nix.conf. | 16:32:15 |
 toonn | RandyEckenrode: Do you mean Nix won't be able to GC? Or does APFS suffer from the issues Btrfs used to run into? | 17:58:57 |
| Randy Eckenrode | APFS needs free space to delete files in a volume. I had to make space by deleting a volume in the same container. | 18:32:01 |
