hyperparabolic | I saw that the glycin packages were being split into libglycin and glycin-loaders (thank you very much whoever worked on that!), and I'm trying to adopt libglycin from nixpkgs unstable instead of my terrible hack at packaging it. The glycin-loaders package has several patches, one of which hard coded the path for bwrap . I'm not seeing the same in the libglycin, and seeing the expected failure in turn (env -i "bwrap" ... returns a "env: ‘bwrap’: No such file or directory" error because -i unsets the path variables that allows env to discover bwrap).
Is there some idiomatic way to work around this in nixos without the old patch being applied?
Happy to help out with this however I can as well if there's still some pending work on it. I wanted to try to upstream my libglycin packaging eventually, but it... needed work first, heh. I was still very new to nix packaging when I started it.

dish [Fox/It/She] | hey all, been working on this PR and looking to get feedback from the folks managing the GNOME packages. Currently, glib/gjs are outdated, and rely on a version of spidermonkey that goes EOL in 3 weeks. I'm looking to remove dependants of it from the tree, so ideally we'd upgrade to the latest version of each to go from spidermonkey 128 to spidermonkey 140. However, I've just learned(as im not familiar with the gnome ecosystem) that releases like 2.85.4 would probably not be merged, as they're unstable. However, removing spidermonkey 128 code from nixpkgs does reduce the maintainence load on the folks that maintain it, so bumping these versions would be ideal. Any feedback would be super appreciated, thanks! | 04:20:21 |

Jan Tojnar | Agreed, I thought I have already removed it. (BTW I am one of the upstream maintainers.) | 18:03:04 |
Jan Tojnar | GNOME 49 is due in two weeks so hopefully it will not be much longer | 18:12:00 |

Grimmauld (any/all) | Jan Tojnar opinions about dropping the gtk glabels app? Upstream mostly archived the thing and now does glabels-qt, but in nixpkgs you touched it just last year. So its less crusty than most other software i have in my kill list, but it does have the last 15 consecutive hydra builds failing. | 18:23:10 |
Jan Tojnar | Grimmauld (any/all): I think I only touched it as part of treewide changes so I would not mind if it disappeared. But try contacting the maintainer first. bjornfor also seems to have been updating it. | 22:24:43 |

hustlerone | forgot to ask for 4 months, when are duplicate session entries going away? | 13:11:35 |
Jan Tojnar | do you mean in lightdm? | 13:16:43 |
hustlerone | i actually use greetd on tuigreet but yes iirc it also was the case in lightdm | 13:17:05 |

Jan Tojnar | I am not aware of any plans to fix that. Someone would need to be sufficiently annoyed to debug it. | 13:18:52 |
