I'd love a more ncursesey build UI to Nix builds
<gchristensen>
something that shows where I am in the graph
<gchristensen>
also I propose that all of the builds in bootstrapping stdenv be marked as `big-parallel`

gchristensen: Something like soong_ui?
<gchristensen>
what is that?
<das_j>
the build system of android aosp. pretty neat output imo

shouldnt using config.blah resolve stuff like mkForce? Because now I get { _type = "override"; … }

jtojnar: is there any plan to convert the fonts we have in nixpkgs?
<jtojnar>
rnhmjoj did not hear of any such plan
<samueldr>
convert?
<samueldr>
ah, pcf support, I see

<rnhmjoj>
samueldr: yes, converting pcf/bdf to otb will avoid the fonts from displaying as squares but it's probably going introduce subltle alteration in the spacing and what not
<samueldr>
don't mind me, I had a scare since it's related to fonts and we have some bad derivations™ in nixpkgs with regards to fonts
<samueldr>
some are (ab)using FOD builds to skip rebuilds, even though they are not reproducible builds
<infinisil>
nerdfonts..!
<infinisil>
Still needs to be fixed, the 2GB download for nerdfonts is awful
<samueldr>
what do you mean by "needs to be fixed", and "the [...] download is awful"?
<samueldr>
I'm 100% sure we do not want to abuse FODs for this purpose
<infinisil>
Well, including nerdfonts in your system makes it download the full github tarball which is like 2GB big, and that is reproducible as far as github's tarball creation goes
<infinisil>
But downloading 2GB is not so great when you only want to use one font
<infinisil>
nerdfonts includes dozens
<samueldr>
yes, but how should this be fixed?
<samueldr>
oh, they're shipping pre-built artifacts in their repo?
<samueldr>
I guess using raw download links and a script to generate an attrset of all fonts in nerd-fonts/patched-fonts is enough
