@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode * 18:57:34
@ihar.hrachyshka:matrix.orgIhar HrachyshkaKinda convoluted. What does it buy - guarding against string typos?18:58:05
@sarahec:matrix.orgSarah Clarkyes, that. I decided to drag out my Intel MBP and disable the failing tests instead.19:57:04

emily: this is my build env info, I failed to build aiohttp python package due to too many open files, unless I added NIX_BUILD_CORES=2:

@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyhow many cores do you have?14:03:09
@nazarewk:matrix.orgkdnnot sure, it's Mac Mini M2, probably 1214:03:36
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyalso what Nix are you using?14:03:54
@nazarewk:matrix.orgkdn nix (Lix, like Nix) 2.93.3 14:04:14
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily thanks. can you cat /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nixos.nix-daemon.plist 14:04:43

@nazarewk:matrix.orgkdn I'm actually having build failures for version 2.94.0 (updating flake today) 14:09:36
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyeverything looks to be in order. maybe the aiohttp package needs to limit parallelism for its test phase if it is using that many FDs14:10:55
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilywere you building many other packages at the same time?14:11:08
@nazarewk:matrix.orgkdn I think it was just aiohttp at the time, tried building the .drv file directly and didn't succeed until limiting cores 14:12:39
@nazarewk:matrix.orgkdn * I think it was just aiohttp at the time, tried building the .drv file directly and didn't succeed until limiting cores with envvar 14:12:47
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilymaybe open a Nixpkgs issue14:16:40
@sarahec:matrix.orgSarah Clark I was able to build with nix-build -A python3Packages.aiohttp --check and get the latest. M3 Max, no limit on cores 19:00:30
@sarahec:matrix.orgSarah Clark What does ulimit -Sn and ulimit -Hn show? 19:02:54
@sarahec:matrix.orgSarah Clark Also, what does lsof | wc -l say when you're not building? 19:03:50
@sarahec:matrix.orgSarah Clark (ulimit: soft and hard limits. lsof | wc -l list open files | count the lines 19:04:29

@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeWhat I’d like to do is build Swift Syntax separately and relink the compiler against it (or actually copy the dylibs out of the compiler and relink it).01:26:43
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode * 01:26:51
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeThe goal is to have everything in its own package.01:27:10
@nadia:nhp.shNadia is there a way to get rid of all the warning: unhandled Platform key FamilyDisplayName spam from nixpkgs's compilers? (Or is it some weird issue with my setup that's causing those?) 17:52:53
@samasaur:matrix.orgsamasaurI think Randy has a PR up that fixes that issue17:53:14
@nadia:nhp.shNadiaah alright17:54:30
