From b92e8e59975283264df8d6e3cbbdc4dd15439223 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adam Joseph Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2022 12:47:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] pkgs/top-level/release-cross.nix: add Hydra jobs for pkgsCross.platform.nixStatic This commit causes Hydra to build `nixStatic` on non-NixOS platforms for which nixStatic is known to build correctly. Providing Hydra builds of `nixStatic` on these platforms allows users to bootstrap their local nixpkgs system without either having to: a. Trust binaries that came from a source other than Hydra or b. Fight with their host distribution to satisfy all of nix's large set of build dependencies (this is not easy!) Currently there are two platforms in this set: mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 and powerpc64le-linux-gnu. --- pkgs/top-level/release-cross.nix | 15 +++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+) diff --git a/pkgs/top-level/release-cross.nix b/pkgs/top-level/release-cross.nix index 93e36360bf9c..ccca912db791 100644 --- a/pkgs/top-level/release-cross.nix +++ b/pkgs/top-level/release-cross.nix @@ -84,6 +84,17 @@ let buildPackages.binutils = nativePlatforms; mpg123 = nativePlatforms; }; + + # Enabled-but-unsupported platforms for which nix is known to build. + # We provide Hydra-built `nixStatic` for these platforms.
