Wednesday triage meeting
Attendees: @roberth @edolstra @Mic92
Triaging
`--print-build-logs|-L` ignores empty lines · Issue #11991 · NixOS/nix · GitHub
- @Mic92, @edolstra: collapsing repeated blank lines could be a feature (ie preserve single blank lines, not all of them)
Labeled good first issue
Blake hashing support · Issue #11999 · NixOS/nix · GitHub
Approved for adding to hash.cc if tvix is happy about it
If blake hashing becomes popular Nix could also implement parallelism optimizations
Should it start as an experimental feature?
Idea approved.
inconsistent SRI hash requirements? · Issue #11996 · NixOS/nix · GitHub
@edolstra: Encountered this in Handle final handling for old lock files with improper narHash fields · NixOS/nix@5c49d0b · GitHub
Assigned to @edolstra
nix-hash prints a wrong warning · Issue #11997 · NixOS/nix · GitHub
Good first issue
Disallow writing `path` input to lock file · Issue #12004 · NixOS/nix · GitHub
The issue describes one possible cause.
Another could be path: inputs in the NixOS flake registry.
Workflow:
- Have NixOS
- Put
nix.registry.<name>.flake - NixOS turns that into a
path:flakeref in the system registry
Possible solutions for this use case
a. @edolstra: Do not use the local registry for locking at all
b. Only allow non-path registry items to be used
- could be more confusing, because of unexpected complexity
Basically Remove the flake registry or diminish its role · Issue #7422 · NixOS/nix · GitHub
- Ignore system and user registry in
nix flake lock/update - Keep using system and user registry in
nix build <installable>
Decision: approved as Disable system and user registry for locking · Issue #12010 · NixOS/nix · GitHub
