rhelmot | If you can figure out how to make the bootstrap smaller then please go ahead - I just included everything necessary to build curl | 17:49:59 |
Artemis Tosini (NixOS) | That does make sense if we can't get any sources until we can download the freebsd repo | 17:50:56 |
emily | there's a builtin fetchurl | 17:52:08 |
emily | (not to be confused with builtins.fetchurl) | 17:52:14 |
emily | that's used in early bootstrap (otherwise you couldn't download the bootstrap tarball at all) | 17:52:25 |
emily | so as long as you can fetchurl the stuff you need you don't need to build curl immediately | 17:52:43 |
emily | but yeah, if you need fetchgit to get headers to be able to build any program then it'd be trickier | 17:53:26 |
emily | not sure how the repo is fetched | 17:53:35 |
emily | # Using fetchFromGitHub from their mirror because we cannot use git during bootstrap
| 17:56:33 |
emily | seems like it should be fine? fetchFromGitHub with the bootstrap fetchurl should work without having to build anything. | 17:56:47 |
Artemis Tosini (NixOS) | hm... I think I'll ask to update the tarballs to fix the current failures, then work on minimizing it | 17:58:41 |
