07:27 <ehmry> sterni: solo5 would be nice to have because we could use unikernels as native nixos services

11:33 <sterni> ehmry: I'll look into it probably pretty soon

11:34 <sterni> the annoyance really with packaging these is making everything choose the right target

11:34 <sterni> ocaml-freestanding always only builds itself for one target currently as far as I understand

11:35 <sterni> I have the fear that we kind of have to overrideScope' ocamlPackages for the unikernel stuff

19:46 <ehmry> sterni: would wrapping ocamlPackages in lib.makeExtensible and making special overlays for mirage work? or maybe I don't understand the problem

19:49 <ehmry> oh, thats what overrideScope' does…

19:50 <sterni> ehmry: yeah, exactly, my current assumption is that probably the simplest solution would be for the mirageos build wrapper to just override ocamlPackages for the expression so that all freestanding targets are enabled and freestanding uses the right target

20:03 <ehmry> well its good that most of whatever trick is needed is already in place

20:32 <sterni> yeah

20:32 <sterni> I'm interested to see how the opam-monorepo stuff is gonna affect packaging for MirageOS 4 though

20:32 <sterni> not sure yet how it's gonna work out
