Agenda

Monday meeting time change?
- Can’t decide a single time slot. We’ll set up two: current time + extra evening time meeting
- New extra Monday meeting: 16:00 UTC!
  - Calendar update forthcoming…
Network namespace progress update
- @tomberek has looked at pasta usage, but not a network bridge
- @Mic92: do we need to isolate each build or is the whole daemon ok?
- @tomberek: could be good starting point, but there’s still a concern of cooperating derivations instead of derivation ↔ outside cooperation.
- @Mic92: seems less pressing
- @tomberek: per nixbld user is also an option

Triaged in meeting:

Possibly duplicate
@Ericson2314 big fan of removing the build hook (casual readers: not the post build hook)
- Removing the build hook is not entirely trivial because timeouts need to be implemented differently.
- See Discussion
- C++ refactor can be distinct from protocol changes. Async cancellation on ssh: is possible by making the Store a connection pool, and shutting down a connection to perform the kill.

@Ericson2314, @edolstra, @xokdvium are interested on pairing on build hook C++ refactor
