Building error, issue with url?

undomion · June 1, 2026, 10:01pm

I would appreciate your help. Is this temporary issue with packages or should I fix something on my own?

It looks like the upstream has disabled pull requests and/or deleted those that existed.

This will need to be fixed in nixpkgs.

so should I wait for the fix?

I would open an issue on the nixpkgs GitHub to make the maintainers aware, as an issue for this issue does not appear to exist.

Edit: Removed advice to extract the patch from the store as the PR to fix it has the original commit.

By “I would open an issue” they weren’t offering to do it themselves, they were saying you should do it.
