#OceanSprint 2025 is over, it was an great experience!

I mostly worked on gobuild.nix, a next-generation builder for Go in nixpkgs. gobuild.nix removes vendoring for Go packages in nixpkgs, modeling the full dependency graph in Nix. Each module dependency will be its own derivation, including build cache on a module level.

During the sprint, I moved gobuild.nix from linking dependency source into a vendor directory to providing a local directory that can be used as GOPROXY. This is both more versatile and simple.

Together with @britter I started implementing a code generation tool that will help to package the large number of packages that will be part of the Go dependencies package set. The tool generates the Nix code for these packages, including the FOD hashes.

So I should re #introduce myself; used to host my own instance at artemai when that was a thing; decided to get back on Mastodon again because the rest of social is a dumpsterfire.

I'm a #UNIX sysadm originally (from the late 90s) but started using #Linux 🐧 in 91, bringing early ☎️ dialup internet to #Newcastle with community group hunter #apana.

I'm a #coder, #python 🐍 is the go-to language these days, some #js but plenty of #C and some #golang too.

Ten years ago I landed in #liveevents and #visionswitch / 📹 #camera #direct #sports presentation in major 🏟️ #stadiums along with building software for data-driven #content for use in those environments.

I'm a #ham 📻 radio operator. Callsign VK2WAY. I'm mostly interested in signals processing and digital communications.

I used to officiate 🛼#RollerDerby but have streamed it since 2014 as Downunder Derby TV. I still manage socials for and help co-ordinate Queer Roller Derby - @queerderby.

I'm #queer 🏳️‍🌈 #pansexual ❤️💛💙 #poly 👫👬 #nonbinary 💛🤍💜🖤 and use they/them pronouns.
