@yuka:yuka.devYureka (she/her)I am trying to update lixPackageSets.git inside nixpkgs10:10:43
@yuka:yuka.devYureka (she/her)https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/49876210:10:44
@yuka:yuka.devYureka (she/her)However the build is failing without an obvious error message10:11:05
@yuka:yuka.devYureka (she/her)

I bisected it to 357ee01002bc31229f444dc15fab6abf64f372c6

build: attempt to normalize Rust handling to support static linking

10:11:13
@yuka:yuka.devYureka (she/her)I already added rust-cbindgen10:11:38
@yuka:yuka.devYureka (she/her)I don't see any other obvious changes to the packaging10:11:45

Wasn't that the so unification commit?

@piegames:flausch.socialpiegamesIf so, probably best to ask again on Zulip where our dragon can see it10:32:44
@aloisw:kde.orgaloiswI see a bunch of the stuff from https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/480992 missing, but that should only affect tests.11:17:38
@lisanna-dettwyler:matrix.orgLisannaHello! Wanted to drop a line that I will be mentoring a GSoC project to refactor the Nix daemon's processConnection interface to make it usable by programs linking against libnix-store, possibly using gRPC (like Lix's build hook). I was curious what the Lix status was of converting the daemon to also using gRPC, in case we're at risk of duplicating effort.13:43:46
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius (DECT: 7248)We're not going to use gRPC in Lix13:44:02
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius (DECT: 7248)We're using already Cap'n'Proto13:44:07
@lisanna-dettwyler:matrix.orgLisannaAh, OK, I must have confused them13:44:21
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius (DECT: 7248) https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/src/commit/5346b2bc6884ab71c1d0fc858f3b11484d01cbfb/lix/libstore/build/hook-instance.capnp 13:44:36
@lisanna-dettwyler:matrix.orgLisannaok, so I'13:45:22
@lisanna-dettwyler:matrix.orgLisanna* ok, so I'll rephrase then :p are there plans to extend capn proto to the daemon? Has that already started?13:45:41
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius (DECT: 7248)This is going to start imminently in 2.9613:45:52
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius (DECT: 7248)Lix 2.94 made hook instance capnp13:45:57
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius (DECT: 7248)Lix 2.95 used Cap'n'Proto for exchanging settings between libexec helpers and the daemon13:46:07
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius (DECT: 7248)Lix 2.96 will offer daemon sockets with multi protocol support13:46:21
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius (DECT: 7248)Lix 2.95 already has the inherent capability13:46:27
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius (DECT: 7248) https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/4951 13:46:36
@lisanna-dettwyler:matrix.orgLisannaok, thank you!13:47:51
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa sad that you'll be spending time for cppnix instead of lix then 😉 14:18:26
