Done with the help of https://github.com/Mindavi/nixpkgs-mark-broken
Tool is still WIP but this is one of the first results.
I manually audited the results and removed some results that were not valid.
Note that some of these packages maybe should have more constrained platforms set
instead of broken set, but I think not being perfectly correct is better than
just keep trying to build all these things and never succeeding.
Some observations:
- Some darwin builds require XCode tools
- aarch64-linux builds sometimes suffer from using gcc9
- gcc9 is getting older and misses some new libraries/features
- Sometimes tools try to do system detection or expect some explicit settings for
platforms that are not x86_64-linux
This adds lsirec, a utility that can be used to modify and recover certain LSI HBA PCIe cards.
My Dell R610 Server has an anti-feature that prevents the machine from booting, if any PCIe card not blessed by Dell for such usage is installed in the "storage slot" of the server. I used lsiutil to flash a different firmware to my "Dell PERC H310" to convert it into a "Dell 6Gbps SAS HBA Adapter". I was then able to use lsirec and the included sbrtool python script to modify my "Dell 6Gbps SAS HBA Adapter" card into pretending to be a "Dell PERC H200 Integrated" card, finally making it work in the storage slot and circumventing the stupid firmware check.
