Anyone know if making my /nix volume case-sensitive would break things?
<Gaelan>
(I'm experimenting with the possibility of cross-compiling the Linux Kernel, which it turns out has names that differ only in case in its source tree)
<gchristensen>
I assume it'd be fine
<LnL>
I'm a bit weary of changing the default everywhere but it's probably fine
<LnL>
and yeah, last time I looked at linux cross that was the kind of stuff I ran into
<LnL>
probably still have a branch somewhere but I doubt it's still useful

ooh, wait, I don't think we need to unpack it in the store, just the build directory
<Gaelan>
so we could just create a case-sensitive ramfs during unpackPhase

Gaelan: emily has been interested in this as well; when I can get this installer update finished it'll make it easy to override the FS; also, if/when you're on big sur, there's a new `mount_tmpfs` command with a flag to make it case-insensitive (not that I advocate moving yet :)
<Gaelan>
Ooh. I just was doing it with hdiutil to make a disk, then formatting/mounting it as HFS
<Gaelan>
(APFS is probably possible, but harder because of the volume/container setup)
<Gaelan>
but yeah, I'm staying on Catalina until I can build an stdenv from scratch, since I tend to do things that make me rebuild it

<abathur>
er, a flag to make it case-sensitive even
<LnL>
I haven't really figured out a nice way to bootstrap yet :/
<LnL>
actually, does anybody know if github release archives are stable?

I vaguely recall someone saying no, but I'm really not sure
