20:37 <tobhe[m]> i wonder if we could improve our file hosting by tagging github releases and attaching the zip

20:37 <tobhe[m]> for a "free cdn"

20:52 <holysoles[m]> Looks like Github has a maximum size of 2GB per file on a release, but no limit on file count/bandwidth, so we could split it, though not sure if thats ideal

20:52 <holysoles[m]> https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/releasing-projects-on-github/about-releases#storage-and-bandwidth-quotas

20:54 <tobhe[m]> hm yeah that would make it too complicated I guess

20:55 <tobhe[m]> another thing I just remembered is that the installer expects the file under ${url}/os/${filename} for some reason

20:55 <tobhe[m]> so arbitrary links don't actually work out of the box

21:35 <kaazoo> Hi, I'm trying to build libkrun-1.11.2 for noble, but the new code uses "is_none_or" (https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/enum.Option.html) which is only stable in Rust 1.82. Highest version on noble is 1.80 :(

21:39 <tobhe[m]> hm zixing seems to have a 1.82 for noble in https://launchpad.net/~liushuyu-011/+archive/ubuntu/rust-updates-1.82

21:41 <tobhe[m]> I suppose you could use that. Zixing used to maintain the official rust toolchain so it is trustworthy

21:42 <kaazoo> cool, thanks for the hint

21:42 <kaazoo> There are also other separate PPAs for other Rust versions: https://launchpad.net/~liushuyu-011

21:44 <tobhe[m]> 1.82 is the only one that had noble afaics

21:44 <tobhe[m]> 83 and 84 are plucky only

21:50 <tobhe[m]> <tobhe[m]> "another thing I just remembered..." <- looks like that was fixed actually

21:50 <tobhe[m]> https://github.com/AsahiLinux/asahi-installer/raw/prod/data/installer_data.json shows:

21:50 <tobhe[m]> `"package": "https://asahilinux-fedora.b-cdn.net/os/fedora-42-kde-202504161600.zip",`

21:53 <holysoles[m]> <tobhe[m]> "so arbitrary links don't..." <- I searched for CDNs that give credits to FOSS projects and while there seem to be a few (cloudflare, digitalocean, etc), it doesnt seem like it'd be completely free..

21:53 <holysoles[m]> Maybe a better option would be to support people hosting mirrors? If we opened a PR for the asahi installer to accept a zip checksum (and validate it against the zip), that would let us validate integrity of what a mirror served

22:01 <tobhe[m]> I was thinking bunny cdn volume network might be a good affordable option

22:01 <tobhe[m]> mirrors might make sense if there are people willing to host them 🙂

22:01 <tobhe[m]> but even then how do you select the right one?

22:01 <tobhe[m]> https://bunny.net/pricing/

22:02 <holysoles[m]> tobhe[m]: It seems like thats what they might be using for the Fedora one

22:03 <holysoles[m]> tobhe[m]: I'd be willing to, but I dont think 1 more mirror necessarily solves the problem😁

22:06 <kaazoo> Does Ubuntu provide a CDN for related open source projects?

22:08 <holysoles[m]> I didnt see anything related to Canonical/launchpad when googling, but it could be worth asking them directly

22:08 <tobhe[m]> only indirectly I think by hosting their packages in the archive or on launchpad

22:09 <tobhe[m]> but I can ask 🙂

22:11 <kaazoo> btw, if there is no rust-1.82 for oracular, I can't build for it.

22:12 <tobhe[m]> hm i don't see one

22:21 <kaazoo> will try to build for plucky instead
