Joelteon offline communication ticket

[copumpkin]

Use this to leave @joelteon messages when he's offline, since he never reads his scrollback 😄

Once he updates his IRC client or bouncer to get the scrollback from ##nix-darwin or somehow gets it to at least show him his highlights from when he's offline, we can close this thing!

@joelteon the libcache issue is the same one you saw last time. My hope was to have all packages in a given stdenv depend implicitly (see extraBuildInputs in stdenv definition) on libSystem, which has the necessary declared impurities (/usr/lib/system in this case) so all dependencies get them.

I must have the pattern slightly wrong so a later phase of the stdenv bootstrap is somehow not inheriting the impurities for libSystem, so it breaks. For now if you're blocked I'd just copy the impurity declaration to all the stdenv expressions (instead of just the first few) but going forward I don't want it there. Make sense?

This rivals the pure-darwin branch in ingenuity

I think it's in a better state now, but am still running the giant build so who knows.

Also, @joelteon, your hydra is busted, I think. All the builds have supposedly been running for 3d!

[copumpkin]

@joelteon you should use /bin/sh, not /bin/bash. NixOS doesn't have the latter either. You can also just pass -vvv to your call to nix-build to see the sandbox it created so you can see that /bin/sh is in the sandbox.

@joelteon @shlevy @gridaphobe @jwiegley I think the latest merge from joelteon/master might have broken my branch, but I need to go to work now and can't look into what went wrong. It's complaining about my openssl headers not matching my openssl version in the openssh build. So beware of merging blindly from my branch, basically!

[copumpkin]

@joelteon I double checked my current state and vim still builds just fine. Not sure what issue you're encountering, but perhaps one of your changes broke it?

[gridaphobe]

@joelteon we shouldn't need to build ghc-784 with ghc-783-binary, just pull ddfc438 into pure-darwin :)

[copumpkin]

@joelteon

regarding nodejs:
[00:28:41] joelteon: I hope you don't care about the version/stability
[00:29:00] joelteon: they took out some annoying stuff recently and I didn't want to bother taking it out again in the earlier versions

you should also have a somewhat functional darwin.apple_sdk.frameworks.CoreServices (and a whole bunch of other frameworks) that you can add as buildInputs and expect sensible results from.

[copumpkin]

I tested hfsevents but I don't know how the haskell packages are generated so I didn't want to run afoul of the haskell machine and left that out.

[copumpkin]

@joelteon the -lc++ thing should be fixed as of last night, so just merge in pure-darwin

[copumpkin]

@joelteon can you merge all your ghc changes from nixos/master back into pure-darwin? Usual big pile o' pain from merge conflicts that I don't have a good understanding of.

[copumpkin]

@joelteon did you document (or script) your hydra-on-darwin pain? Want to set one up on my macpro

[shlevy]

I don't know about having the frontend on darwin, but as for attaching a darwin machine to an existing hydra it's just a matter of installing ssh keys and setting up nix remote machines conf.

[pikajude]

Sorry @copumpkin, I've only ever made a Darwin machine a hydra slave, not the server.

@joelteon

[01:44:14]  <copumpkin>  "Spotlight and fseventsd use these fsctl()'s to find out the mount time of a volume and the last time it was unmounted.  Both HFS and ZFS support these calls."
[01:47:03]  <copumpkin>  does fs_usage tell you anything interesting?
[01:53:20]  <copumpkin>  joelteon: you should either get your bouncer to relay messages to you or go offline
[01:53:34]  <copumpkin>  it's really frustrating to put effort into telling you things and have them get lost forever :P
