pbb: to be clear I don't want to package something new - I want something that is already packaged and working in Nixpkgs - because I'm going to port it to my new thing
<pbb>
phabricator is also similar, there is something in nixpkgs but it's so old you can forget that
<dckc>
in fact, my nix goal is to address a problem we're having with containers: we run into different issues in test and prod, and copying the image takes forever. (or something. I wasn't doing that part of the work)
<LnL>
you're building something outside of nix?
<ottidmes>
hmm, weird bug, nix eval does something with stderr, that nix-instantiate does not, which causes bugs when autocompleting, when I do 2> /dev/null it works like nix-instantiate, when I dump the stderr into two files and compare them with a hex few they are both empty
<dckc>
I think the umask issue goes beyond my umask... root's umask or the build user's umask or something is also an issue:
<catern>
That issue suggests that DICPATH is just a convention, not something libhunspell knows about, and it's up to each application to respect it (well, at least that's how it was, anyway - the issue suggests that Hunspell has gained some helpers for making that easy)

or is the hooks setup smart enough to deduplicate hooks by name or something?
<catern>
is there any safe way to inherit a setup hook or something? I'd like to make the pkgs.pythonPackages.pkgconfig package have the same setupHook as pkgs.pkg-config, but will they both get run if they're both in buildInputs?

I have derivations A and B. In order for A to build, I need B to be in a specific directory inside A. What is best practice for something like this? I can obviously use cp to copy the files over during A's build. Is there a better option here?

rcshm: the service fails due to the unwriteable errors, or something else?

nyanloutre[m]: let me make something for you real quick
<noonien>
does nix-prefetch-url refetch something that's already in the store?
<ottidmes>
therealwaphire[m: `man nix-shell` probably does the best job at that, but in short, you might get gcc8 to work if you install it in your env, but it will not be able to find any libraries, the only way to do that is to build something or to use nix-shell which can be used to mimick the environment in which builds are run
<ottidmes>
therealwaphire[m: I did something similar to that FAQ I linked via the bot, about having unstable while on stable by binding it to an attribute name called unstable, so I checked like this (but that requires some Nix experience): nix eval '(with import <nixpkgs> { }; with lib; filter (hasPrefix "clang") (attrNames unstable))'
<ottidmes>
or if you want something standard, in the simple case of fetchzip, nix-prefetch-url works too
2019-02-10

yes, combined with something that lowers the case, just wanted to know if there was a helper for doing this already

In particular, I'd be allowed to turn up something like a DHT node?

steveeJ: Yes, and I got it working for a while. But then something changed and now networking is broken during image builds (but not while running the base image)
<clever>
dunk: nix disables all network access during the build, something must be wrong for it to want to download a file
<mdash>
fiola: right, so, the cheap way is to rely on the command-not-found hook, where you try to run something and it then spits out an error about it not being installed and then tells you a bunch of things that could provide it

thedavidmeister: its apparantly something linked to a profile, I checked my nix store, and I have one for my system profile and user profile

<ottidmes>
symphorien: question about the bitwarden_rs PR, how will DynamicUser work with the backup service, if I supply the same User/Group as the other service I get access to the data is what you said, right? if so, then I can read the data, but how do I get the data written with the right backup user/group? All I can think of at the moment is using root, did you had something else in mind?

Good morning. I've just experienced an issue where, because of a "bad" overlay I had nix-build fill up all available memory and essentially lock my system. Is that something I should report as a bug, or is that "expected" with certain types of wrongly configured overlays.

rodarmor: you could use something like pkgs.runCommand, and just hexdump /dev/random

Ah, I just thought you'd need something that keeps changing
<infinisil>
rodarmor: But are you really sure you need that? impurities aren't really something you usually want

<dmj`>
clever: right, has something ever gotten through? Would it be worth it to be on an even older version of nixos is what I'm asking
<infinisil>
NemesisD: Yeah, then something like `with import (fetchTarball { url = https://github.com/nixpkgs/NixOS/archive/<revision>.tar.gz; sha256 = "..."; }) {}; ...` can be used
<NemesisD>
i could convince them if i come up with something workable or have it be a per-project thing

However, it doesn't produce an FHS environment like I expect. It just produces a `bin/newenv` executable that puts me in a bash shell in my home directory. Is there something I'm missing?

Do we have any easy way of re-calling a derivation from an overlay? I'm thinking something of `callPackageAgain` that'd call `.override` to override all the dependencies
<jluttine>
ottidmes: yes, in that file it is, that's what i tried to say. but it's not in that nix store file that the error message is referring to. but yeah,i think i now understand the problem: there's no dist directory which is expected to be present. so something wrong in build phase.
<ottidmes>
das_j: had to be something like that, great to hear you found the problem
<lmat>
ottidmes: Does nixos have "versions" where all the packages have a set version or something? Or is it more like a rolling release system?
<ottidmes>
infinisil: improving upon the current situation would at least be something from which the community as a whole would benefit

*Maybe* I could make my bachelors thesis about something relating to nixpkgs maintenance ;D

Maybe something to auto-merge package update PRs
<manveru>
dmj`: what about something like minio?
<ottidmes>
phdoerfler: you would best read the manual for more in depth info, but its not really a package, its a derivation, a derivation is a plan on how something in the Nix store can be realized (i.e. build)
<Taneb>
gchristensen: not yet, I'm anxious about it being GC'd between copying and starting (or finishing) the "do something" part
<Taneb>
Is there a way to say "copy these closures to this remote, and then do something, without risk of them being garbage collected before we start doing, so as to avoid a race condition"?
<Taneb>
I've had other things going wrong with it for me, something to do with libgl or libgtk (I'm not at home right now, can't check)
<ottidmes>
Taneb: I have had whole conversations ruined, because someone kept focusing on how something was "strictly incorrect" and that if you wanted to be really correct you would have to add a lot of extra disclaimer and formal boilerplate, that basically ruined the conversation, because the actual content of the conversation got lost in all the formalities, hence my dislike. For me chat = informal context, so I

srhb: Yeah I understand and can agree when it comes to configurable stuff such as color/themes. But something a standard as scrollback should get into main branch at some point IMO. Regarding colors, not being able to change on fly presets kinda sucks

<EffSquared>
tilpner: That, or might be the mimetype mapping, There are some useful resources online, can not find the one I used, but something like this: https://stuffivelearned.org/doku.php?id=apps:firefox:jnlpfix
<tilpner>
I'll try something like that, thanks
<buckley310>
yeah if the script is just a list of commands, just name it something distinct, put it in $PATH, and call it like any other command
<kumikumi>
I'm trying to run a game server for the game Starbound, but something strange is going on. Bash can't apparently find the game executable even though it clearly exists, is readable and bash autocompletes to it, and also steam-run is not helping. Here's my bash output: https://gist.github.com/kumikumi/01c83d280b3801577a404f08c13134d9 Any ideas?
<immae>
tobiasBora: you have a buildDependency on wrapGAppsHook but as far as I see it has no consequence on the output, did you maybe forget something in the mkWrapper?
<ottidmes>
tobiasBora: when I launch it I see something appear and dissappear real quick, so guess that is the window
<tobiasBora>
clever: samueldr: but this jar package is just something I run "manually" after downloading the jar online
<samueldr>
e.g. google-chrome from unstable on 18.09, you need to open something like an open/save dialog or the print dialog, which in turn would use a png
<tobiasBora>
clever: samueldr: hum I neved used wrapGAppsHook, it is something I should install?
<samueldr>
and a really short test on a few of the attributes show that it's generally right, either a direct crash or something further along the line
<samueldr>
or maybe your system has a gdk_pixbuf 2.36 installed while you're running something newer
<tobiasBora>
something like that gdb $(which java) /tmp/j/core
<dhess>
something about no permission to clone, I think.
<clever>
sphalerite: i cant remember the exact flag, but you can set something to make the remote machine use its own binary cache config
<sphalerite>
so I'm using the aarch64 community box as a remote builder, and started building something, and it's copying some paths there… extremely slowly
<colemickens>
yeah git embeds something into the tar metadata
<colemickens>
I'd like to use fetchTarball but also be able to run `git get-tar-commit-id` with the raw tarball (it can be gunzip'd), is this possible? I guess I could use fetchUrl and then extract it myself or something

<iqubic>
Is that just `steam-run zsh' or something?
<srhb>
iqubic: If it's something that's missing from steam-run, you may want to try running the thing with strace. It might not be easy to deduce what's missing though (and I'm no expert) -- but it'll certainly be the path to the answer, unlike running it without steam-run.
<andi->
You might have to add something to steamrun if things are still missing then
<srhb>
Yes it will. It's a chrootenv that sets up something akin to the FHS system expected.
<pie__>
i have a lot of trouble finding the original defitionins for things to figure out how/why something doesnt work
<ddellacosta>
yeah I mean, as far as the exact details of .bash_profile/.bashrc/.profile etc. I more or less know what I want and was hoping this was something nixos was doing that is non-standard, but sounds like it's just my terminals not behaving correctly :-/
<ddellacosta>
I'm sure this is something basic, but I'm having a hard time understanding how to get my .profile picked up when I open a new terminal. I've tried --loginShell with urxvt and also "vanilla" termite. Is there something specific to nixos here, and if so, is it documented anywhere?
<noonien>
but if i'm afk (and i guess the monitor turns off or something), i come back to a crashed laptop
<pie__>
i figure if i didnt have it in scope it would complain about ..haskell being undefined or something
<pie__>
srhb, says that attribute is missing..must be something other than haskell.lib
<srhb>
pie__: I believe nixos-generate-config will set it to the number of available cores or something like that. I don't really recall.
<pie__>
times like 4 build cycles or something
<infinisil>
Daifa: Hmm, well in any case, something must be different for these two scenarios, possibly your nixpkgs version
<infinisil>
Daifa: A null in buildInputs isn't something bad, it happens often for dependencies that aren't needed, nulls are ignored there
<kumikumi>
okay, well this is a pretty fresh installation, I wonder if I have messed up something
<pie__>
could the hash be for the wrong repo or something?
<noonien>
am i doing something wrong?
<noonien>
thanks! i thought it might have something to do with zram
<Unode>
unless there's something in the import machinery that breaks this somehow
<wedens>
you don't need to use let if you don't want something to be local
<pie__>
unless it was something else that brike it, inwhich case yay...
<pie__>
I want to be able to run a nix file some way by default so you can just run it in your shell and get something
<pmahoney>
clever: is there a way to see that from within the build? something in /proc? (also, i've turned off the sandbox and still get ENOTSUP)

simpson: know that you can always make it work outside Nix, you just have to configure the global directory to something different than the /nix/store path, that is what I use for the few nodejs packages I need on NixOS, tried to package them all properly, but there was always a problem or another, just so you know that that alternative works
<infinisil>
The nix-shell -p thing is really just if you need something simple quickly
<tiksnut>
Is there something I need to know? ^^
<neonfuz>
I remember not being able to find the window I ran nix-store --optimise in lol... I wonder if I accidentally closed it and corrupted something?
<s2mitrov>
so the current iterm2 available in nixpkgs (unstable channel) is pretty outdated - is that something I can update? or is it not really recommended to install iterm2 through nixpkgs
<tilpner>
You could try something like #freenode_nixos-fosdem:matrix.org
<laas>
it's defines in include/uapi/linux/binfmts.h or something
