Dyego Aurélio | Hey
I'd like to know if the concerns about Zen browser's security practices are addressed.
I so, how can I help eveeifyeve's pr?
| 17:42:52 |
hexa | that would require another review | 17:46:24 |
hexa | but the primary concern is that we have no committer on the maintainer list to support reviews, backports and merges of that browser | 17:46:47 |
| 25 Oct 2025 |
eveeifyeve | Are you up to being a maintainer of zen-browser? | 08:24:10 |
vcunat | No. That's how we got where we are. | 08:24:41 |
eveeifyeve | Well I will be directing everyone to the nur I guess... What's more secure having it packaged officially or nur? | 08:25:46 |
K900 ⚡️ | It Depends(tm) | 08:26:19 |
K900 ⚡️ | But having it in-tree will not definitely be "secure" if no one is maintaining it | 08:26:38 |
K900 ⚡️ | * But having it in-tree will definitely not be "secure" if no one is maintaining it | 08:26:42 |
K900 ⚡️ | Which is, again, how we got here | 08:26:48 |
K900 ⚡️ | Like, do you understand why we have a committer requirement in the first place? | 08:27:07 |
K900 ⚡️ | And why it's specific to browsers? | 08:27:15 |
eveeifyeve | It just sucks that I don't have committer access maybe one day.... | 08:28:00 |

hexa | vcunat: can you take a look here? | 00:40:55 |
hexa | I think you added the disallowedRequisites way back when | 00:41:11 |
emily | it seems questionable that cuda_nvcc should be propagating the wrapped compiler | 00:44:29 |

jopejoe1 | Should i still wait for a reviwe from @booxter on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/458580 for the darwin parts or is it fine to merge with out? | 09:12:07 |
vcunat | I don't think it's a problem for darwin support to lag in case of devedition+beta. (and you've tested that it builds, reportedly) | 09:18:28 |
vcunat | * I don't think it's a problem for darwin support to lag in case of devedition+beta. (and it builds, reportedly) | 09:18:46 |
jopejoe1 | Yeah, will merge it then for now, if some issues appear with darwin they can be fixed later. | 09:36:48 |
jopejoe1 | Looks like apple-sdk_26 is not in 25.05 🫠, which is used by firefox 145 beta | 10:08:36 |
jopejoe1 | will ask in darwin chat about that. | 10:08:39 |
vcunat | Oh, 145 is to be released as stable in four days already. | 10:10:20 |
vcunat | 25.05 still has support until the end of the yer. | 10:10:46 |
