I've put nixpkgsArgs ? { config = { allowUnfree = true; inHydra = true; }; } in the default.nix of my hydra build, but for the life of me I cannot convince hydra to accept this
<samrose>
nor if I put it into an input in jobset config
<samrose>
hmm it appears to be working now

hello, i was referred by a colleague to ask about armv7 tests running for nixos ; i'm trying to get libvirt going on an arm8 to run debian stretch armhf releases ; c/ sphalerite
<gchristensen>
sphalerite: ^ I recommended vielmetti direct KemoNine to you
<samueldr>
hi!
<KemoNine>
hi!
<KemoNine>
many thanks gchristensen
<gchristensen>
(hoping you had luck with nixos tests on armv7 on the community hisilicon builder)
<samueldr>
not sure I follow "about armv7 tests running for nixos"
<gchristensen>
armv7 test being nixos tests, running on armv7
* samueldr
opens worksonarm to see if there is context
<gchristensen>
my understanding is KemoNine is wanting to ask about running a 32b vm on a 32b/64b-capable host
<samueldr>
ah, and possibly not nixos related, right?
<gchristensen>
right, but my hope is sphalerite has managed to get nixos tests running in 32b mode on the hisi builder :)
<samueldr>
KemoNine: using qemu only (but should work for libvirt too) I had success booting images for UEFI
<samueldr>
though not sure if debian provide those
<KemoNine>
they provide some basic images I can get to boot ; i ran into troubles with the kernel finding the virtio network driver ; but i may be squarely in debian kernel territory
<KemoNine>
and qemu only i think i can get boot strapped ; i did that in the past on x86 as a rough experiment

<samueldr>
right, though I would assume that the network driver issue would be the same on qemu than on libvirt :/
<KemoNine>
possibly ; but i will try poking it just in case ; and worst-case i can fall back to ubuntu bionic if needed for these particular vm's
<samueldr>
in my experience, once you're botting off kvm, nothing's really complicated, except if the drivers for the virtualised hardware aren't there
