@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode There’s some progress in the issue. If that works, then along with the patch to fix libstdc++ support, I have a patch to fix -cxx-isystem support. 03:52:42

@debtquity:matrix.orgdebtquity

is lib.file.mkOutOfStoreSymlink broken for anybody else?

I was using it in with home.file.source to symlink to a sops-nix secret. But seems all of the files are non-existent now.

@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeve Randy Eckenrode: 3hrs of building your swift 6 redone it's taken 3 hours so far and 200 builds still to go, done like 200 builds. 10:08:21

@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeveKnown issue: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/1167610:38:24
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeve* That is a known issue.10:39:08
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeve* That is a known issue, no fix unfortantly.10:39:16
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeveAlso what is the solution for multiple installations on nix-darwin where it installs a separate nix.10:45:36

Because at the moment I have one that is really old that I want to remove.

[FAIL] Multiple versions of nix found in PATH:
  "/nix/store/6dw415pr1q4h1lywp3y0z6zij7h9wrsf-nix-2.31.2/bin"

@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeveNvm this is a quick and really easy fix.10:58:48
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode My branch uses staging as a base, so it (almost always) does a full bootstrap from source. 11:35:26
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode sudo -i nix-env -e nix IIRC. 11:36:26
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeUsually the Nix from the installer is left in root’s profile, but you don’t need it if your Nix is managed by nix-darwin.11:37:06
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeveYeah so I removed it..11:37:23
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeveNix-darwin should create a first install script that uninstalls the one from the installer.11:38:16
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeveWe ❤️ llvm taking the longest to build in staging....11:46:02
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeve* We ❤️ llvm taking the longest to build in staging.... 😆11:46:11
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeve Randy Eckenrode: You were right I feel it does take 11 hours. I am at 6 hours and it's not built yet. 13:14:57
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeveIt's hit to the point of the swift-cxx-bootrap (buildphase)13:15:18
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeve Don't recommend anyone trying to build swift 6, but I am because I want to help out Randy Eckenrode. 13:36:22
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode The biggest help will be testing. Try building packaged Swift applications as well as ones in a dev shell. It should work. The goal is to make it a good experience for packaging and for local development. 13:43:13
