Right now the static-bins output just crossed 100MB uncompressed, which means it now has the honor of slamming into cachix/cachix#619. (UPDATE: they kindly pushed back the size limit cachix/cachix#619 (comment), but the fragility of Nixie's current approach is still evident)
We need a simpler, more Nix-y way to retrieve files from within the derivation. My idea now that #16 has been merged, is to try and write a streamed NAR parser in Amber, which would in turn provide exact offsets to download a file from within the NAR, using minimal bandwidth (and therefore memory) to perform the lookup in the first place.
The ideal implementation would be a Jura package, which implies a couple fixes to upstream projects first:
Well this is annoying... Cachix only supports zstd and xz as compression methods. zstd is completely out of the question, and xz isn't much better (not preinstalled on macOS for instance).
I really don't want to give up on the Nix cache approach since it ensures any version of the script can handle its resources format, so I'll have to look into self-hosting a Harmonia cache or something.
