2022-07-06 00:09:05 +0000 <scotabroad[m]> Yep, alsa-lib-devel
2022-07-06 00:09:15 +0000 <scotabroad[m]> is what Fedora calls it
2022-07-06 00:11:12 +0000 <geekosaur> yeh, alsa-dev on ubuntu was about writing alsa plugins apparently

2022-07-06 00:58:35 +0000 <scotabroad[m]> Why does `cabal install xmobar --flags="all_extensions"` try and build xmobar-0.11.1 while having just `--flags="with_alsa"` tries and builds xmobar-0.41?
2022-07-06 01:07:15 +0000 <geekosaur[m]> The solver probably can't find libraries for newer versions' plugins
2022-07-06 01:08:02 +0000 <geekosaur[m]> Music player plugins seem likely
2022-07-06 01:24:22 +0000 <scotabroad[m]> Where can I find all the dependencies for building version 0.43?
2022-07-06 01:32:49 +0000 <scotabroad[m]> Oh wait, I think I've gotten it

2022-07-06 14:53:52 +0000 <twiclo1> I'm running a spawn that isn't working. I would guess that it's because xmonad doesn't have access to the command. I put it in .xmonad/scripts. Do I nee dto link that to /usr/bin or something?
2022-07-06 15:00:03 +0000 <geekosaur> adding random stuff to /usr/bin is rarely a good idea. you can (a) use a full path; (b) use `setEnv` in `main` to add it to your `PATH`; (c) arrange for `PATH` to be set by `.xsession` or whatever you use to start xmonad
2022-07-06 15:00:39 +0000 <geekosaur> (unless you're on Fedora, setting it in `.bash_profile` or `.bashrc` will not work as X startup doesn't read either one)
2022-07-06 15:09:05 +0000 <geekosaur> of the three, I recommend (c) because that means it's set in one place instead of having to make updates in multiple places later
2022-07-06 15:09:13 +0000 <twiclo1> Changing my smartSpacingWithEdge value and recompiling then restarting xmonad doesn't actually change spacing
2022-07-06 15:09:23 +0000 <geekosaur> mod-shift-space
2022-07-06 15:09:37 +0000 <twiclo1> What is that supposed to do? It didn't so anything
2022-07-06 15:10:19 +0000 <geekosaur> hm. it forces the layout to be recomputed, since restart can't tell the difference between settings in your .xmonad and settings changed on the fly like (with default keybindings) mod-comma
2022-07-06 15:11:23 +0000 <geekosaur> if you changed your keybindings then you want to use whatever you bound to setLayout $ XMonad.layoutHook conf
2022-07-06 15:11:44 +0000 <geekosaur> (just look for setLayout, that may have several different forms)
2022-07-06 15:13:48 +0000 <geekosaur> if you don't have it bound at all then you may have to log out and back in

2022-07-06 15:44:23 +0000 <geekosaur> if you care, xmonad will recompute the layout on mod-q by itself if its type changes; merely changing a value within it isn't detectable, and that setLayout call is needed to bring it back into sync

2022-07-06 22:44:59 +0000 <liskin> would probably be fair to build test some of the BSDs in CI
2022-07-06 22:45:22 +0000 <liskin> but that wouldn't catch any bugs like if we ever decide to touch SIGCHLD handling or something :-/
2022-07-06 22:45:49 +0000 <liskin> anyway, low prio, need to sleep, only 6 hours remaining until I need to get up and cycle 40k to London :-)
2022-07-06 22:46:17 +0000 <geekosaur> mm, was wondering, should we put an impossible constraint on impl(ghc >= 9.0 && < 9.4)?
2022-07-06 22:46:27 +0000 <geekosaur> due to the join point bug?
2022-07-06 22:46:53 +0000 <liskin> (and possibly 60k if the train company decides to keep the pre-covid rule of not taking bikes during peak times)
2022-07-06 22:47:48 +0000 <liskin> geekosaur: probably not as that would exclude point releases as well
2022-07-06 22:48:15 +0000 <liskin> maybe an #if #warning might be helpful though
2022-07-06 22:48:44 +0000 <liskin> but then… why isn't like everybody hitting the bug? do most people run ghc 8.* ?
2022-07-06 22:49:05 +0000 <liskin> (I do, but I'm on Debian, which has been late even when it had people maintaining this stuff… :-))
2022-07-06 22:49:09 +0000 <geekosaur> 8.10.7 is still the most used version, yes. and it only shows with specific kinds of join points
2022-07-06 22:49:28 +0000 <geekosaur> specifically how we do this long running FFI inside a forever
2022-07-06 22:50:00 +0000 <liskin> can we perhaps write a version of forever that doesn't trigger the bug?
2022-07-06 22:50:29 +0000 <geekosaur> which confuses codegen into thinking it's unreachable in some fashion, so it drops the keepAlive# and the next gc removes the allocaEvent and the heap subsequently gets smashed
2022-07-06 22:50:47 +0000 <geekosaur> I was thinking just recursively reinvoke the function
2022-07-06 22:50:59 +0000 <geekosaur> instead of ending it with a forever
2022-07-06 22:52:30 +0000 <liskin> or that, whatever works, is obviously correct and is easy to revert
2022-07-06 22:53:41 +0000 <liskin> anyway, afk for real
