 emily | it's a matter of what you prefer, of course (stale packages vs. packages having issues more often), but it's closer to the Arch rolling-release end of things than running Debian experimental or whatever | 15:46:53 |
 laauurraa | What makes it so that zotero not being runnable on NixOS wasn't caught by CI? Because I thought the same thing as you're saying now, that nixos-unstable is tested as it is updated | 15:47:53 |
| laauurraa | I thought running the software you attempt to build would be the minimal test, right? Or is that just different per-package? | 15:48:15 |
 elikoga | The minimal test is wether the package builds at all
Running is not trivial. Zotero for example expects a graphical environment(?) | 15:48:54 |
| emily | only a subset of things block the channel from advancing | 15:49:04 |
| emily | if all failed builds stopped unstable from bumping, it'd never bump | 15:49:12 |
| emily | but we do have e.g. automated end-to-end testing of installations, common graphical environments, etc. | 15:49:24 |
| laauurraa | Yeah it does elikoga, that's what I expected. Being a bit difficult to test whether it launches or not | 15:49:28 |
| emily | (since we have ~100k builds and many of them are always broken 🫠) | 15:50:18 |
| laauurraa | I wish it was a little bit clearer when a package is stable or not? | 15:50:37 |
| laauurraa | Would it be possible to add something to the nixpkgs search interface to link or show like a red/yellow/green bubble per platform about how "stable" it is? Whether builds have errors etc? | 15:52:40 |
| laauurraa | That would be useful | 15:52:46 |
| laauurraa | Or even just a link to the relevant page in hydra would already be helpful | 15:53:18 |

Would it be possible to add something to the nixpkgs search interface to link or show like a red/yellow/green bubble per platform about how "stable" it is? Whether builds have errors etc? Nobody built it yet, so it's not there | 11:39:34 |
| elikoga | * Nobody built that integration yet, so it's not there | 11:39:47 |
| elikoga | I don't believe that it's trivial to link the different projects without pulling your hair out in frustration | 11:41:06 |

| distrostu (Jono) | I'm having issues with github auth when updating my flake
[jono@dobro:~/sync/configs/nix]$ nix flake update --flake .
error:
… while updating the lock file of flake 'git+file:///home/jono/sync/configs?dir=nix'
… while updating the flake input 'disko'
… while fetching the input 'github:nix-community/disko'
error: unable to download 'https://api.github.com/repos/nix-community/disko/commits/HEAD': HTTP error 401
response body:
{
"message": "Bad credentials",
"documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/rest",
"status": "401"
}
(base)
if I directly curl that https://api.github.com/repos/nix-community/disko/commits/HEAD
I get a 200.
I have a feeling there is some expired access token on my system, but I dont think I set one and I'm not sure where it would be?
