I have a not too big nodePackages fix for an issue which passes all tests possible, but every once in a while it reaches a merge conflict status… And what’s annoying even more is that running node’s generate.sh takes about half a day (for me) and afterwards I have to cherry-pick only the relevant changes to the commit and discard the rest …
This one is docs-only: crucial steps are missing from the manual in the instructions for nixos lustration. Someone else figured out a solution and posted it in an issue back in 2018, all I did was add the solution to the docs. The PR doesn’t seem to have had any attention yet. It could do with someone who is familiar with bootloaders having a look at whether there is a better way of doing it, and maybe suggesting some commentary for the new steps.
This one isn’t terribly important or complicated. A new package for the virtual ANS microtonal synthesizer. It’s been approved and seems to be waiting for a merge. However, as I have no means of testing the darwin version, it’s simply disabled, even though it would probably work. So perhaps someone with a Mac could test it there. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/90624
I wrote a package for ILSpy, but the reviewer demands building it from source, something I don’t need or have the time to do, so maybe someone else wants to pick it up?
Hello, I’m trying to upgrade the broken Mesos package, currently failing because autoconfigure cannot find Python package google.protobuf and I don’t know how to fix that issue.
I’m trying to get the EC2 metadata fetcher to use IMDSv2. I have built imported and tested images on AWS EC2, but the script is also used by OpenStack and I’d really appreciate someone with an OpenStack setup testing that I didn’t break their compute services.
Also note that the script being changed runs in initramfs and uses busybox, so some of it is a bit subtle:
This is a very simple change but it has important consequences on the security of Nixpkgs. It would need feedback from security people because the maintainer and I are not confortable merging it.
I would appreciate if a darwin / macOS wizard could take a look at these two (same issue in both packages): https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/102263 https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/103826
The version bump doesn’t seem to introduce any new failures, but a review has brought to light that it has always been failing on macOS because it wants to use a program called sips to manipulate its icon images.
Not sure if there’s a package containing sips that can be added to nativeBuildInputs on darwin, or whether we need to do some substituting, like this packages does:
This PR has been stuck for a long time, it’s seen some amendments and positive comments already, but I’d like someone with merge rights to take a look and decide to pull the trigger - or reject it definitively so I can focus on just hacking it into my own config.
This PR adds a new service for xidlehook, an alternative to xautolock that, among other things, can be configured to not lock the screen when an application is fullscreened. Needs review from someone with knowledge of NixOS services. It’s relatively simple and a lot of it is copy pasted from the xautolock service.
[Merged] I tried to package the GNU Data Language (GDL), a drop-in replacement of the commercial Interactive Data Language (IDL) used in the field of astronomy and atmospheric science.
