 Randy Eckenrode | After messing with it for a bit, I don’t think Swift SDKs are going to do what we need. Swift doesn’t pick up the toolchain stuff from it. We’d have to merge the Swift stdlib and Darwin SDK to make it work on Darwin. It also seems to get funny ideas about triples and deployment targets. | 03:44:31 |

 Sarah Clark | Heads-up: with the latest staging merge into master, nix-manual only builds on Darwin with the sandbox off.

 debtquity | swift-5.10.1 no longer compiling for me on unstable. related issue - https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/483584
pinning nixpkgs to 70801e06d9730c4f1704fbd3bbf5b8e11c03a2a7 seems to do the trick [1]

 alexfmpe | yeah it kind of looks like that's what's happening | 09:52:54 |
| alexfmpe | the include chain goes through gcc, sdk and then back again | 09:55:32 |

| alexfmpe | these top-level lib/ come bundled with gnu hello for whatever reason and then it does a tour
gnu -> gcc -> sdk -> gnu | 10:01:47 |
| alexfmpe | what fresh hell is this

 eveeifyeve | Discussion from the last nix-meeting.
We are going to wait for hydra code-base to rebuilt in rust, before taking on how the scheduling with the jobserver protocol will work.
There is discussions of issues
But this will need to be relooked at later on. | 03:28:23 |
| eveeifyeve | Also Randy Eckenrode I have an issue that you might want to look into: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/483584 | 03:28:49 |
| eveeifyeve | * Also Randy Eckenrode I have an issue that you might want to look into: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/483584 (Swift build failure) | 03:29:05 |
| Randy Eckenrode | The compiler crash is a known problem. It seems some people are looking into it. My time is limited, so I am focused on the Swift 6 rewrite. I unfortunately lost some time this week due to dbus and sqlite issues. | 08:19:44 |
| Randy Eckenrode | What is this from? | 08:22:03 |
| eveeifyeve | Last meeting that happen not today but last wednestay when we discussed about the parallelism. | 08:22:59 |

I unfortunately lost some time this week due to dbus and sqlite issues and have had some life issues come up that have further limited my time.

| eveeifyeve | * Last meeting that happen, not today but last wednestay when we discussed about the parallelism issues (asking when they will be finished or touched). | 08:23:42 |
| eveeifyeve | Well tonight I will be building sqlite while I am asleep. | 08:24:48 |
| eveeifyeve | * Well tonight I will be building swift while I am asleep. | 08:24:55 |
