i'm trying to install a newer version of emacs-macport than is available in nixpkgs (because versions newer than emacs 29.1 are only available in the work branch https://bitbucket.org/mituharu/emacs-mac/commits/branch/work), like this:

      pkgs.emacs-macport.overrideAttrs (old: {
        version = "29.4";
        src = pkgs.fetchFromBitbucket {
          owner = "mituharu";
          repo = "emacs-mac";
          rev = "7cc5e67629363d9e98f65e4e652f83bb4e0ee674";
          hash = "sha256-Uv0AX0d5JLgxHlBD70OIDOO/ImMA6hH1fs5hCuMxw7c=";
        };
      })

but the resulting build on my macbook (arm) hangs after it launches temacs to do the dumping:

env -i ./temacs --batch --no-build-details -l loadup --temacs=pbootstrap \
        --bin-dest /nix/store/ws7vmvma07pgr1dl1j3w293l9kbd0w8d-emacs-mac-macport-29.4/bin/ --eln-dest /nix/store/ws7vmvma07pgr1dl1j3w293l9kbd0w8d-emacs-mac-macport-29.4/lib/emacs/29.4/

this happens for other versions i try that are not hitting the cache, so i don't think it's necessarily related to the 29.4 source in . i can also build this version successfully outside of nix on the same machine.

i'm wondering if anybody has a clue about temacs hangs, i sure don't 🌞.

In reply to @adis:blad.is
I've also been interested to rewrite all the update code, but in Python

In reply to @me:linj.tech
What is your motivation other than unifying two things into one and maybe letting melpa generate json instead of nix code? just curious

In reply to @me:linj.tech
to be honest, I do not see much value in rewriting since I do not see major issues with current code

Running git commit --
Unknown command: /home/qbit/src/xin/.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG

Thinking out loud on generators:
It might be a good idea to embed melpa recipes in our codegen.

I don't know how representative these sizes are so take them with a grain of salt:
len("""(request :repo "tkf/emacs-request" :fetcher github :files ("request.el"))""") -> 73
len("0h4jqg98px9dqqvjp08vi2z1lhmk0ca59lnrcl96bi7gkkj3jiji") -> 52

For the low cost of 21 bytes extra storage we can avoid fetching the recipe, and can also save a bit on memory on the FOD that's created to fetch it.
It might be that some recipes are too big, but I think we're probably better of embedding them by default.

In reply to @philiptaron:matrix.org
I think you're right adisbladis -- let me know if there's a recipe to follow and I'll help with the conversion, if y'all decide to go for it.
