 dramforever | why is ubuntu not just a big monorepo that i can search anything i want in 🫠| 21:06:45 |
 Tristan Ross | lol | 21:09:44 |
| dramforever | eh nevermind i think we build gcc as pie now | 21:12:19 |
 kwinz | https://cache.ztier.in riscv binary cache is only for unstable, correct?
is there a binary cache for stable? | 22:01:05 |
| Tristan Ross | I've only known a few exist but idk the reliability | 22:16:02 |
| Tristan Ross | Or the state of them | 22:16:11 |
| Tristan Ross | Though, as a member of the HW team, we have been looking into things but it'll be some time before we can give any good news. | 22:16:48 |
| kwinz | we can only dream of some official support :-) | 22:17:16 |
| Tristan Ross | I really do want us to be able to do that | 22:18:30 |
| Tristan Ross | However, I see Arm having a higher tier support first before RISC-V | 22:18:42 |
| Tristan Ross | The problem is the HW is just now starting to get better performance. Like the ESWIN EIC7700X is significantly better than the JH7110 but still quite lacking. | 22:19:26 |
| kwinz | sorry for the beginner questionL to summarize i have those options right now to do a nixos-rebuild:
- build 25.05 or staging myself which takes probably 3 days to finish
- cross compile staging or 25.05
- wait until the PIE fix for go from staging is merged into unstable and ztier starts caching it.

| Tristan Ross | I think 2 is the safest option you have | 22:19:55 |
| Tristan Ross | I do not recommend native compilation unless you actually need it | 22:20:07 |
| kwinz | appreciate it! | 22:20:28 |
| kwinz | HiFive Premier P550 is probably twice as fast as the JH7110, but nothing ground breaking it seems | 22:22:32 |
