 emily | I believe it's okay in C99+ so should be fine | 01:34:39 |
 Ihar Hrachyshka | besides this select exhaustion issue, I have two more patches related to nixpkgs VMs running on darwin. These are waiting for reviews for quite a while. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/440579 - keeping VM gcroots alive while VM is running (on Lix for now) fix dns resolution for some vpn scenarios; enabling local dns resolver for linux builder: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/434893 | 02:06:41 |
 flokli | emilycan you bonk https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/474675 for now? | 23:15:10 |

 Nadia | so I'm not sure if this is actually a nix-related issue at all, but has anyone had problems with processes in the terminal just kinda hanging up after a while? Specifically it happens with the fish shell from nixpkgs, it simply gets stuck forever during launching it, not even lldb can pause or kill the process | 06:18:40 |
| Nadia | on macOS 26.2 | 06:19:01 |
| Nadia | it's kinda the same symptoms as on linux when you get I/O errors that cause processes to become stuck and completely unkillable | 06:28:02 |
 kdn | How can I get foot.terminfo into darwin? | 16:14:48 |
| kdn | I'm getting a weird error: Any ideas? | 18:58:07 |
| kdn | The | 19:00:15 |
| kdn | * The | 19:00:34 |
| kdn | don't really have any idea how to debug it, the error seems to come from some underlying script that i don't know how to find | 19:25:51 |
 Winter | can you share what you’re trying to build? | 19:30:17 |
| kdn | let me tag a wip commit and submit then | 19:32:05 |
| Winter | i forget bash’s behavior off the top of my head but the line thing might be a misnomer | 19:33:44 |
| Winter | easier to tell if i can see the expression | 19:33:53 |
| kdn | this is the change I'm doing, I will maybe revise whether I need that custom module system at all there for the builder (it's nice to set everything up exactly the same way as all my other modules), I don't think anything that is not enabled in my set of modules would do anything funny | 19:40:18 |
| kdn | I'll try identify the change thta makes it break tomorrow, gotta run now | 19:41:43 |
| Winter | why are you vendoring the whole linux builder stuff? | 19:42:50 |
| kdn | i need specialArgs in there to use my own modules | 19:43:47 |
| kdn | there is no way to pass those in the built-in builder | 19:44:53 |
| kdn | * there is no way to pass those in the built-in builder maybe i'll just make an upstream patch to make those configurable | 19:45:37 |
| kdn | * there is no way to pass those in the built-in builder maybe i'll just make an upstream patch to make those configurable instead | 19:45:48 |
| Winter | nix.linux-builder.config if you’re using nix-darwin, or pkgs.linux-builder.override (old: { modules = old.modules + [ … ]; }) otherwise | 19:46:42 |
| Winter | you can use _module.args | 19:47:20 |
| Winter | sorry, that first part of the answer was superfluous | 19:47:55 |
| kdn | In reply to @winter:catgirl.cloudexcept i cannot pass my kdnConfig specialArg which i use to make OS/module-specific snippets and conditional imports | 19:48:11 |
| Winter | _module.args doesn’t fit your needs? | 19:48:47 |
| kdn | no, it cannot be used for conditional imports and pre-resolving snippets | 19:49:27 |
| Winter | ah. | 19:50:05 |
| kdn | if i add the non-existing config in mkIf it throws an error, so i need to use raw if on those | 19:50:17 |
