with that, I can see things like perl Module-Build-XSUtil being a root cause of 103 darwin issues :o

samueldr's karma got increased to 20
<samueldr>
tomorrow I'll index the failures to get a count
<samueldr>
it may be my not knowing hydra, but are there interfaces in hydra showing better integrated information like that?
<samueldr>
I'm feeling my scraping loses semantics that hydra internally knows, and it probably would be better to implement some of the features inside hydra
<infinisil>
If it exists, I've never seen it
<samueldr>
(well, I *know* my scraping loses semantics)

so having got my first nixos install up, it really needs two things - the first is a user config file which can be automated, the second is a user install script, so that when I boot from USB it can include a userconfig.txt and run a userinstall.sh from NIXOS_ISO
<funkmybios>
then we can have automated custom distro's/installs
<andi->
people alreayd do that..
<andi->
you can easily customize the installation media since it is just a nix expression
<funkmybios>
so then I have to go back and rewrite the scripts for the installation media ... instead of just having to add a package list and and an install script to the ISO
<andi->
well thats baiscally what you do either way, You will have to rebuild the installer image.
<andi->
Unless you plan on asking people to modify the iso after the fact and add files there.. Which wouldn't be very nix-ish IMHO
<funkmybios>
well who uses DVD installs these days ? and USB lets you just add in ...
<andi->
I'd strongly argue for a nix expression because you can reproduce and update the system without manual modifications..
<funkmybios>
yes PXE is great, will look at that next. but suppose you wanted to set up a lab for students, you would want to include the standard packages such as gcc etc, but the students would have to add their own pgp keys and identities to the USB drive.
<andi->
In that case I'd maybe go for a version that supports downloading the initial (aditional) config bits via HTTPs? Like a cmdline flag to the installer? `userconfig=https://studentfoo.university.local/student-123123.nix`
orivej has joined #nixos-dev
<funkmybios>
so thats still forcing me to do a custom distro instead of just having an include in the ISO
<funkmybios>
in principle I quite like the project, but my linux boxes these days are diskless, and its a long time since I did LFS builds ...
<goibhniu>
hi funkmybios, I think you'll have a better response on #nixos

so er, how do I pass quoted string to go builder
<domenkozar>
aa
<domenkozar>
flag provided but not defined: -tags 'systemd cpython process ec2 log'
<domenkozar>
usage: go install [-i] [build flags] [packages]
<domenkozar>
how hard can it be?
<domenkozar>
really hard :D

because yeah, cherry-pick -x is mandatory as per the contributors guide ;)
<sphalerite>
that looks like the stdout of git cherry-pick I think?
<samueldr>
yeah, which is what makes me think it could be a simple copy/paste, but I was wondering if he were working a tooling that could somehow do more with less work :)
<sphalerite>
xsel :p
<Mic92_>
samueldr: not yet. I thought about extending either nix-review or do something. at the moment I just use git backport, which is just an alias on `git cherry-pick -x`
<Mic92_>
*do something seperate.
<Mic92_>
Ideally ofborg could do some of the steps.
<samueldr>
yeah
<samueldr>
thanks, just checking since I'm always thinking about doing things to automate processes :)
