 emily | the bad outputs are just the same as the good outputs but with a different code signature though | 00:00:58 |
 Randy Eckenrode | I’ve got the source releases refactored out of the SDK and (most of) the source release packages building with updated (macOS 15.6) headers. I’ll split this up tonight into separate PRs, so the refactor can go against master (no rebuilds) and the update against staging. Going forward, the source releases will use all the same versions of things, and probably build against the latest SDK instead of the default. The Clang availability thing seems to work well. | 11:29:01 |
 viraptor | Ok, I've got a draft PR which I can't fully test due to some security software. Does anyone feel like rebuilding the bootstrap? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/508307 To test if it worked properly, you can try building https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/500850 rebased on top of it. | 12:19:19 |
| viraptor | Thanks, I got some samples. I think there are two places in sigtool that could maybe potentially occasionally fail in edge cases... Patches incoming maybe tomorrow. | 17:02:32 |
| Randy Eckenrode | We don’t use sigtool in the general case. | 17:03:14 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Signing is done by the linker. I can’t recall whether it was reproducible with ld-prime. | 17:04:43 |

| viraptor | Sigh, looks like I got lost in the signing maze. That's what I get for working way past bedtime 🤦♂️ | 22:23:36 |

| Randy Eckenrode | Apple might have fixed the libiconv issue that was causing problems for gnulib. That’s unexpected if so. | 02:08:43 |

| Randy Eckenrode | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/508474 splits the source releases out from the SDK. I tried to get it down to zero rebuilds, but the overlaying during the bootstrap messes things up. | 03:38:50 |
| mall0c | I suppose this is part of your effort to get swift sdk updated? | 03:54:50 |
| Randy Eckenrode | It’s a detour to clean up some Darwin stuff. | 04:16:23 |
| Randy Eckenrode | I think I got rid of the rebuilds. | 04:32:12 |
| Randy Eckenrode | I did just confirm though that SwiftPM 5.10.1 supports putting packages in editable mode. That’s how I’m vendoring dependencies. I want to land the breaking stuff for the release, then I can work on the Swift 6.x update. | 04:59:11 |
| Randy Eckenrode | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/508474 definitely has no rebuilds on either Darwin or Linux. | 05:17:45 |
|  jyap joined the room. | 19:46:58 |
| jyap | so the latest macos tahoe 26.4 seems really hostile now to built CLI apps. they don't even run for testing.
is there a solution for this where the command is just killed by the OS?
e.g.

| Randy Eckenrode | Probably https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/208951. It’s concerning the problem seems to be getting worse. | 19:50:07 |
| jyap | thanks, i'll take a look | 19:52:32 |
| jyap | yeah it's similar to this issue where the fix is to disable tests https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/507531 | 19:58:05 |
