PRs in distress

I’d appreciate any other opinions on this PR:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/87369

Personally I don’t really want to merge it as is, but I would like some other people to either agree or disagree with that so we can proceed.

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.

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/95631

Thanks for any help!

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:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/96763

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.

This PR updates tdlib to 1.6.9, which is the minimum required by telega. This makes the Emacs Telegram client work on NixOS.

I could use a quick review of [20.09] zfs-replicate: 1.1.14 -> 1.2.3 by alunduil · Pull Request #101970 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub so I can get the updated version into 20.09 and finish my upgrade. Thanks!

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:

I think this PR fairly important but it’s stuck because of an unknown issue with networkd/initrc. I’m not familiar with networkd and could use some help:

While a very reasonable improvement, this PR is blocking proper support for aarch64 on divnix/devos for alack of appropriate reviewer and/or merger:

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.

Could use some help from someone with knowledge in

  • patching proprietary binaries designed to be installed in /opt
  • packaging Gnome/Gtk apps

There’s some description of the issues and things tried so far in the PR.

[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.

The problems include:

  • The built binary cannot find XWin or WXWidget
  • Some CI tests doesn’t pass

Some in my opinion urgently needed improvements of the wordpress module. Without them it’s basically unusable for anything more than the original installation without any additional plugins and themes. Currently you usually loose your theme settings on updates.

A predecessor is even from Sep 1, 2020 but the changes now should be way more compatible than the old ones.

The problem is that I heard from several people that they don’t use the module (and package) because it’s so unusable. Would really love a review (and merge :D)

Looks like it might be good to have a NixOS module to actually turn this on, but it’s at least an incremental improvement to have the thing packaged and in working order, which it seems to be here

The build fails right at the end while building the obs binary, and it does not seem to print any error message

Fails the basic release checks: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/runs/4846317134?check_suite_focus=true

But I have no idea why. The package evals just fine when built.

I’d appreciate some input on a new package and service for Ethereum:
