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 | 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 |
eveeifyeve | * Well tonight I will be building swift while I am asleep. So hopefully it helps so you have me work on it. | 08:25:10 |
eveeifyeve | * Well tonight I will be building swift while I am asleep. So hopefully it helps so you have me work on it as well. | 08:25:15 |

Randy Eckenrode | My branch is a bit behind. I can push an update once I have confirmed the dbus and sqlite issues. | 08:26:27 |
eveeifyeve | Do you want me to look into that? | 08:26:46 |
eveeifyeve | * Do you want me to look into that? I am happy to. | 08:26:53 |
Randy Eckenrode | What I need primarily is testing (e.g., the repl), building stuff, and investigating prebuilts. | 08:27:17 |
eveeifyeve | Yeah I am happy to look into it. | 08:27:55 |
Randy Eckenrode | Most likely I will try to do something less hacky/magic with source builds. I’m not thrilled about it, but I don’t want to spend a lot of time on it. | 08:28:02 |
Randy Eckenrode | Once I’m back up and running, I’ll be adding a patch to make Swift find the stdlib. SDKs are specific to SwiftPM. They won’t do what we need, unfortunately. | 08:29:04 |
eveeifyeve | * Yeah I am happy to look into it. Long as you push your changes as a wip. | 08:29:13 |
Randy Eckenrode | I don’t see any recent meeting notes posted. The last Nix team meeting notes are from last year. | 08:31:19 |
eveeifyeve | No there is no recent meeting notes, because we can't be bothered with writing notes. | 08:31:52 |
eveeifyeve | * No there is no recent meeting notes, because we can't be bothered with writing notes. But we did have a discussion about it, so I am giving a summary about it. | 08:32:25 |
Randy Eckenrode | procps is broken on Darwin too. I guess it’s a good thing I’m building all the things on staging. 😑 | 15:10:31 |
Randy Eckenrode | Darwin fixes for staging issues:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/484427
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/484428
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/484432
| 16:27:39 |
Randy Eckenrode | Looks like some changes in LLD 22 might actually allow us to make it the default on Darwin. | 18:46:59 |
toonn | Exciting. | 20:27:50 |
