@rhelmot:matrix.orgrhelmotIf you can figure out how to make the bootstrap smaller then please go ahead - I just included everything necessary to build curl17:49:59
@artemist:nixos.devArtemis Tosini (NixOS)That does make sense if we can't get any sources until we can download the freebsd repo17:50:56
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily there's a builtin fetchurl 17:52:08
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily (not to be confused with builtins.fetchurl) 17:52:14
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilythat's used in early bootstrap (otherwise you couldn't download the bootstrap tarball at all)17:52:25
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily so as long as you can fetchurl the stuff you need you don't need to build curl immediately 17:52:43
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily but yeah, if you need fetchgit to get headers to be able to build any program then it'd be trickier 17:53:26
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilynot sure how the repo is fetched17:53:35
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily
# Using fetchFromGitHub from their mirror because we cannot use git during bootstrap
17:56:33
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily seems like it should be fine? fetchFromGitHub with the bootstrap fetchurl should work without having to build anything. 17:56:47
@artemist:nixos.devArtemis Tosini (NixOS)hm... I think I'll ask to update the tarballs to fix the current failures, then work on minimizing it17:58:41
