 Alex | The VF2 can do it, provided you're willing to wait 20h for the GHC derivation alone. :D | 20:44:09 |
 Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ& | i had an issue with 948 being single threaded which hadrian tried passing +RTS -qg to which single threaded 948 didn't understand | 20:45:48 |
| Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ& | fixed that though by patching out the flag (the incorrect thing to do seemingly) | 20:46:32 |
| Alex | True, I did have to patch that out of Hadrian but never actually took the time to upstream it into Nixpkgs.
It's a bit tricky but possible: https://github.com/AlexandreTunstall/nixos-riscv/blob/df26291108c656d9ec47d4d57caf31810c0498e3/modules/compilers/ghc.nix#L40 | 20:48:11 |
| Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ& | i put it into postpatch for hadrian | 20:48:58 |

 emily | just "the mangler"? in my day it was known as the Evil Mangler | 21:09:47 |
| emily | also, "a Perl script"? as the file extension clearly shows, it's a literate Perl script | 21:09:59 |
| Lotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ& | it's a ghc 5 era doc file | 21:12:59 |
 alexfmpe | it's literally a Perl script, what's the problem | 21:41:23 |
| emily | it's a literate Perl script, which is better because it's more academic | 21:41:38 |
| alexfmpe | not sure if woosh | 21:41:50 |
| alexfmpe | or getting one-upped | 21:41:55 |
| emily | oh I managed to miss the pun but I still didn't assume you were being serious | 21:42:08 |
| emily | :) | 21:42:18 |
| alexfmpe | all of the above then | 21:42:29 |
| emily | I do feel like they started writing a Perl script to mangle assembly code, realized that it was tarnishing their purely functional souls, and decided to sprinkle in a little Knuth to insulate themselves from the horror | 21:43:02 |

 dramforever | so uh here's something upsetting | 11:42:47 |
| dramforever | you can't set EFI_VARS_PSTORE=y with the nixpkgs evil linux config mangler | 11:43:07 |
| dramforever | * you can't set EFI_VARS_PSTORE=y with the nixpkgs evil linux config mangler on loongarch | 11:43:14 |
 K900 | Yes | 11:43:21 |
| K900 | On some targets | 11:43:34 |
| dramforever | i think it's only if the defconfig has PSTORE=m | 11:44:43 |
| dramforever | so for now, on mainline, exactly loongarch loongson32_defconfig and loongson64_defconfig | 11:45:24 |
| K900 | Yeah | 11:48:58 |
| K900 | It's very stupid | 11:49:07 |
| dramforever | i want to manufacture some pretext to switch all the depends on PSTORE in mainline into select PSTORE | 11:52:35 |
| dramforever | actually wait a second maybe that was the problem | 11:53:31 |
| dramforever | that is not the problem | 11:57:04 |
| dramforever | please ignore | 11:57:12 |
