<mekeor>
is there any other place where i can download the image right now?
<mekeor>
i also can't build the image on my own because it's not possible to cross-compile
<mekeor>
so, currently my only way would be to install another distro on the raspi, then install nix on that distro, and finally build the image on it
<mekeor>
would be nice if someone could offer me that image
<gchristensen>
sorry mekeor, based on nobody's response I'd be inclined to think the only people looking at IRC don't have it, and the ones that have it will be happy to when they're around.
<flokli>
maybe andi- still has it in his downloads ;-)
<andi->
mekeor: I can offer: f41fda1c130d9a51b9f80f4976f3e7d9d4aa34463d873e59f6ad11f49b6a3547 /home/andi//Downloads/sd-image-aarch64-linux.img
<andi->
which I downloaded from the above URL a few weeks ago (28.Nov 2017)
<Dezgeg>
does that need to go to staging though? have to check that
<mekeor>
Dezgeg: thanks
<flokli>
Dezgeg: PR was for master, but maybe staging would be more appropriate
<vcunat>
flokli: yes, better staging, according to the the borg tags, assuming it's not urgent
<vcunat>
(so far Hydra doesn't provide binaries for v6/7 anyway)
<LnL>
just FYI there are already a lot of changes in staging right now
<vcunat>
there are
<vcunat>
Darwin machines are slowing the iterations a lot
<LnL>
urgh, those annoying darwin people with their expensive hardware

eyes the singular aarch64 box that nixos could only get because Packet and ARM wanted to give us bone
<flokli>
LnL: so you think we should wait until staging is once merged, or merge this to staging now to get save another mass rebuild?
<flokli>
s/save/saved/
<andi->
Do we have experience with qemu (kvm) on aarch64? Since I am still tempted to buy one of those "desktop" 96 core machines (as a home storage/build system) that just came to mind...
<LnL>
we don't have to wait, but it might delay the merge

on a raspberry pi 3, `nixos-rebuild switch` fails with "Out of memory" while building nixos-manpages / nixos-manual although i set `services.nixosManual.enable = false;`. any ideas what i might be missing?
<andi->
not with aarch64 cache.nixos.org works there
<gchristensen>
hmm you may not need it for aarch64
<mekeor>
oh, ok
<samueldr>
amended the page to make it obvious the cache params is for the unsupported platforms
<andi->
can't we use the `system` attribute to make that conditional in the config example ? ;-)
<andi->
many people will probably just copy&paste that
<samueldr>
that's a good idea
<gchristensen>
that is some smarts, andi-
<andi->
while we are at that: How do I get the current hostname ? ;-)
<andi->
I would like to make my configuraiton portal across devices.. currently I've to smylink one file to configuration.nix that contains the specific inclues but that sucks a bit
<gchristensen>
like _current_ hostname, or the one specified by the config?
<mekeor>
mekeor, andi-: still same issue
<andi->
current
<andi->
gchristensen: ^
<gchristensen>
ehh
<gchristensen>
theres _a way_ but :|
<gchristensen>
you could do builtins.readfile "/etc/hostname" :P
