09:13 <abbe> hi

09:13 <abbe> wonder if there is an equivalent FreeBSD replacement for: if IFS='' read -r -N 0 $1; then

09:14 <abbe> https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/stdenv/generic/setup.sh#L706

09:15 <abbe> i'm using this ugly hack: if IFS='' read -r -N 429496729 $1; then

09:15 <abbe> i wonder if it's bash4.4 thing

09:24 <abbe> sigh!

09:24 <abbe> it's bash4.4

09:24 <abbe> out -> /nix/store/sj5cx9fjapcq41nrbza56r8zf5irnn31-hello-2.10

09:25 <abbe> /nix/store/sj5cx9fjapcq41nrbza56r8zf5irnn31-hello-2.10/bin/hello: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked, interpreter /libexec/ld-elf.so.1, for FreeBSD 12.1, FreeBSD-style, with debug_info, not stripped

09:25 <abbe> but at least working now

09:25 <abbe> time to bootstrap its own bash

10:20 <abbe> it works!

19:44 <abbe> https://github.com/wahjava/nixpkgs/commit/b62e87a456aa0862d1bb302535730884ebc67b66 https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/1bb2836128d456faa8f1f085c077f4d0704b6e28 are my commits to fix FreeBSD stdenv

19:47 <abbe> trying to build curl, and then off to bed.

19:47 <abbe> objective is to be able to bootstrap nix without involving FreeBSD ports

19:47 <abbe> only need FreeBSD ports now for building nix, maybe produce a statically linked nix binaries tarball

19:48 <abbe> _0mp: great work! thank you.

19:56 <abbe> it built, albeit with a caveat: https://pastebin.com/0b7cJeHF

20:04 <abbe> opened a PR in nixpkgs repository: https://git.io/Jv2qQ

22:46 <_0mp> hi, abbe

22:49 <_0mp> oh nice!

22:50 <_0mp> I don't have too much time to spend on the nix port, but if you figure out how to fix those two remaining failing tests, I'll be happy to just commit that port.
