feat(nix): add release-high-perf and release-max-perf build to flake outputs #1659

Aviac wants to merge 2 commits from Aviac/continuwuity:nix-high-perf into main
Member

This pull request adds a new package output to the nix flake with a high performance profile build of continuwuity. This takes longer to build but is supposedly more performant as the name suggests.

  • This pull request targets the main branch, and the branch is named something other than
    main.

    • My contribution follows the code style, if applicable.
    • I ran pre-commit checks before opening/drafting this pull request.
    • I have tested my contribution (or proof-read it for documentation-only changes)
      myself, if applicable. This includes ensuring code compiles.
      - the nix package builds as expected
    • My commit messages follow the commit message format and are descriptive.
    • I have written a news fragment for this PR, if applicable.
<!-- In order to help reviewers know what your pull request does at a glance, you should ensure that 1. Your PR title is a short, single sentence describing what you changed 2. You have described in more detail what you have changed, why you have changed it, what the intended effect is, and why you think this will be beneficial to the project. If you have made any potentially strange/questionable design choices, but didn't feel they'd benefit from code comments, please don't mention them here - after opening your pull request, go to "files changed", and click on the "+" symbol in the line number gutter, and attach comments to the lines that you think would benefit from some clarification. --> This pull request adds a new package output to the nix flake with a high performance profile build of continuwuity. This takes longer to build but is supposedly more performant as the name suggests. <!-- Example: This pull request allows us to warp through time and space ten times faster than before by double-inverting the warp drive with hyperheated jump fluid, both making the drive faster and more efficient. This resolves the common issue where we have to wait more than 10 milliseconds to engage, use, and disengage the warp drive when travelling between galaxies. --> <!-- Closes: #... --> <!-- Fixes: #... --> <!-- Uncomment the above line(s) if your pull request fixes an issue or closes another pull request by superseding it.

Please do not open a PR if all you have done is asked ChatGPT to tidy up the codebase with a +-100,000 diff. - In the case of code style violations, reviewers may leave review comments/change requests indicating what the ideal change would look like. For example, a reviewer may suggest you lower a log level, or use `match` instead of `if/else` etc. - In the case of code style violations, pre-commit check failures, minor things like typos/spelling errors, and in some cases commit format violations, reviewers may modify your branch directly, typically by making changes and adding a commit. Particularly in the latter case, a reviewer may rebase your commits to squash "spammy" ones (like "fix", "fix", "actually fix"), and reword commit messages that don't satisfy the format. - Pull requests MUST pass the `Checks` CI workflows to be capable of being merged. This can only be bypassed in exceptional circumstances. If your CI flakes, let us know in matrix:r/dev:continuwuity.org. - Pull requests have to be based on the latest `main` commit before being merged. If the main branch changes while you're making your changes, you should make sure you rebase on main before opening a PR. Your branch will be rebased on main before it is merged if it has fallen behind. - We typically only do fast-forward merges, so your entire commit log will be included. Once in main, it's difficult to get out cleanly, so put on your best dress, smile for the cameras! --> [c1]: https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/src/branch/main/CONTRIBUTING.md [c2]: https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/src/branch/main/docs/development/code_style.mdx [c1pc]: https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/src/branch/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#pre-commit-checks [c1t]: https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/src/branch/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#running-tests-locally [c1cm]: https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/src/branch/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#commit-messages [n1]: https://towncrier.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorial.html#creating-news-fragments

Other than slightly longer build times, is there a reason users wouldnt want to get this build over default?

I'm tempted to just default to max-perf, and then only allow the others through an override.

What I'm not sure about is adding these. Maybe. I prefer to have one default and let people override, they can just continuwuity.override { profile = "release-max-perf"; } after all. Not certain if this should be done.

Okay, based on feedback from Jade we won't make it default.

The only thing to decide now is do we bother having other packages as presets with profile set, or do we just allow users to override?
