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.

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:

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

backscrub seem to require CMakeFIles from tensorflow-lite that miss in the version packaged in nixpkgs and I can’t make it work with their vendored version

Fails with Project ERROR: glibmm-2.4 development package not found even if I put glibmm in both propagatedBuildInputs and nativeBuildInputs
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/155360
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.

Is blocked on needing an opencv-python (not opencv’s python bindings, isn’t python packaging fun?) package

actually builds but segfaults as soon as I try to list games
I’d appreciate some input on a new package and service for Ethereum:
These printing related PRs are waiting for some time now. They already received soem reviews, although mostly syntax improvements. I would love some help (and maybe a merge).
I’d appreciate some help to get this merged. Currently it’s not possible to download all the sources required to build packages from nixpkgs. This is importance for software heritage and ensuring we can have replicas of all distfiles.
A hot-fix for cjdns, which has been failing for several weeks now, simply because their build system doesn’t seem to like python 3.10
I recently wrote a very short PR to Nix that fixes a bug in the fetchGit built-in, but I don’t know who to request a review from.
In specific situations, this bug can cause the wrong git tag to be used when fetching sources due to a caching issue. It seems like a pretty serious issue, so I’d like to get it fixed ASAP.
I have been trying to get a workaround in for xdg-open issues under FHS envs / wrappers that use LD_LIBRARY_PATH for months now.
The latest iteration of attempting to solve it is this PR: xdg-utils,nixos/xdg/portal: implement workaround for opening programs from FHS envs or wrappers reliably by LunNova · Pull Request #197118 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub
The original issue is: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/160923
Merged!
I have been trying to move clang-tools into llvmPackages. However, when trying to get clang-unwrapped from the tools fixed point, clang-unwrapped strangely lost some of its dependencies.
error: Function called without required argument "clang-tools-extra_src" at /run/media/root/data-btrfs/shamrock-shared/targets/Projects/NixOS/nixpkgs_optparse/pkgs/development/compilers/llvm/5/clang/default.nix:1

New package that has some amount of interest but has gummed up around review/merge. Sounds like the prospective maintainer got tired of tending merge conflicts while it languished. Might be easy enough to move with attention.
I have 2 pull requests that are part of the project I initiated to bring apps of all areas of knowledge of software engineering to Nix[pkgs] which are stuck:
I have another one, Freeplane, unrelated to the project which I mentioned above, which is a mind-mapping tools instead. The only solution I saw last time I tried building it, was just having openjdk-15 or jdk-15 as dependency for it
I personally am not having time/resources to deal with any of it.
