| tessyjames | Hello NixOS Community
My name is Theresa James from Nigeria and am excited to join this space. I am part of Outreachy 2025 contributors and am exploring NixOS and Nix package manager to learn and deepen my understanding of functional package management and reproducible build.
This is my first time contributing to FOSS and am eager to learn from the community. I am interested on Kitty Nixpkgs and will start to reproduce and build the package once I setup my environment.
Thanks and I look forward to collaborating with you guys. | 21:14:35 |
 raboof | Awesome, welcome! | 22:18:24 |

| Julien | * Shameless plug: https://luj.fr/blog/how-nixos-could-have-detected-xz.html | 15:03:18 |
 emily | FWIW, GitHub can serve .tar.gz archives, not just .zip. so I think in the case of xz an unforced error on our part, rather than a necessary compromise | 15:19:14 |
| emily | (though it could be we were doing it precisely because we can't autoreconfHook at that point) | 15:19:49 |
| emily | (but at least archive format isn't an issue) | 15:19:54 |
| Julien | In reply to @emilazy:matrix.org
(though it could be we were doing it precisely because we can't autoreconfHook at that point) Yes you are right I wanted to add this precision but I forgot | 15:27:01 |
| emily | I really appreciate the post though. I want to fetchFromGitHub more things :) | 15:28:59 |
| Julien | Thank you ! I tried to add a little precision about being xz purely from source being more complex than just being able to unzip the archive :) | 16:00:36 |
| Julien | So turns out I hallucinated the part where I said that fetchFromGithub downloads .zip archives (I think because it is what you get when downloading from the web interface), so the reason we build xz from the maintainer tarball is indeed to get rid of the autoconf dependency | 21:32:09 |
