samueldr, have you thought about using a/b boot on devices that support it? maybe that could be useful but that would just be fragmenting the process between difference devices further
<samueldr>
yes
<samueldr>
but it'll serve mainly as a safer way to upgrade the kernel/bootimg on-device
<samueldr>
there's not *that* much to it
<samueldr>
the main thing is that it needs to be considered in the UI/UX as a thing that exists
<mvnetbiz_>
Should I expect to be accepted for the community aarch64 or should I go ahead and figure something else out? I see there are some fairly old requests
<gchristensen>
hrm didn't I merge your PR?
<mvnetbiz_>
Nope unless you deploy from a local repo that you merged me on or something. I haven't actually tried loggin int
<gchristensen>
mvnetbiz_: I think I won't merge your request for now, since you're a bit new -- we have to put a good bit of trust in to the people who can access it. I'm sorry
<mvnetbiz_>
Understood. Have you thought about doing per user namespaces or would that be too complex and duplicating computations / disk space.
<gchristensen>
I've thought about it, but I just don't have that sort of time :x

How does nix remote build work, does it have to work through the nix daemon on the remote machine or can it just use a single user nix? or it is either and that is determined at runtime by nix-build? I'm not super familiar with that part of nix
<clever>
mvnetbiz_: it just runs `nix-store --serve` on the remote end
<clever>
mvnetbiz_: that process, then decides if it should directly access /nix or talk to a daemon, based on if it can write to certain things
<mvnetbiz_>
Neat, thanks.

any idea what's wrong with these kernelPackages http://ix.io/2c1x ? I'm trying to use specific config without all the modules enabled, somehow it works from default.nix (just linux_nvn, without linuxPackages)
<srk>
it's similar to nixos/modules/testing/minimal-kernel.nix
<srk>
but when there's linuxPackagesFor the configurePhase is the original one

Hi! Anyone's running on Allwinner H6?

I'm interested in launching NixOS on Tanix TX6. There's already an Armbian image for the device, so I have a dtb and an SD card with u-boot which can boot Armbian USB drive.
<wavirc22>
ZoomZoomZoom: I followed a similar journey recently using armbian as a basis, this could provide you some hints https://github.com/wav/nix-odroid-n2/tree/master/packages/linux_odroid_n2. In that repo I generated a linux config on armbian, used the armbian patches that I could apply and selected a linux version.
<srk>
wavirc22: huh, interesting that custom config(urePhase) override works for you with overlays but not directly via boot.kernelPackages
<wavirc22>
srk: Honestly, this was "my first project", both kernel related and nix. I started with the kernelPackages, but I couldn't make it take my config. So I took what was there and tried to reproduce the steps I saw elsewhere as closely as I could hack.
<wavirc22>
One day, I will be enlightened.
<srk>
the structure looks good
<srk>
I think there's no easy way to tell kernel to just use this specific config
<wavirc22>
Thanks, I took it slow.
<ZoomZoomZoom>
wavirc22, that's probably too much for me ATM, what I was thinking is if I can perhaps just add a dtb to the installer image and boot it
