 Wolfgang Walther | The merge bot looks at different data, and merging would always be possible without the label. The label is just informational for others. | 13:02:28 |
 ivy | i know like obviously i can't merge this because i'm not a committer and the bot didn't make it | 13:04:22 |
| ivy | also for some reason it seems r-ryantm attempts to evaluate the package after updating it, and if its not able to be evaluated on linux it says failed to update leaving it unusable for darwin only programs | 13:07:24 |
| Wolfgang Walther | Well, I interpreted your earlier comment to mean that you thought you wouldn't even be able to merge an automated PR yourself, because the label was missing, too. These two are different, so just because the label was missing now, that would not mean that the merge bot for an automated PR would not work. That's all I'm saying. | 13:08:44 |
| ivy | nah i didnt assume that | 13:09:14 |
| ivy | my thought was that it makes the pr seem less like an easy job for a committer | 13:09:27 |
| ivy | if it doesn't say im the maintainer it incites greater unneeded scrutiny | 13:09:47 |
| ivy | but it doesn't help that nixpkgs-update seems to attempt to evaluate all packages it updates, even if they will not evaluate on that platform | 13:10:45 |
| ivy | see this https://nixpkgs-update-logs.nix-community.org/karabiner-dk/2025-10-13.log | 13:11:07 |
| Wolfgang Walther | I think that's your own update script doing that. You're using common-updater-scripts "update-source-version". Try it's --system= argument to force aarch64-darwin for evaluation. | 13:16:25 |

| ivy | ahhhh | 13:19:26 |
| ivy | very unclear in documentation of nixpkgs-update that that's how its meant to work | 13:19:45 |
| ivy | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/456375/files#diff-75161e8aee386e7decface68b5a78abb13d2a58e0203dc03819e5863fc6d8d48R45-R47 this should work right? | 13:26:16 |
| Wolfgang Walther | I'd hope so. But ultimately, I'm just guessing as well. | 13:28:34 |

| h4rl | hii | 18:20:29 |
| h4rl | i had to actually "fix" my matrix server for this | 18:25:08 |

 kuflierl | On a completely different note, i noticed that in my latest PR nix-update seems to update the Go Derivation hash but seems to use the generated hash for the Protobuf Derivation.
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/456029
How to reproduce:
- check out PR and go back a commit before the update but after the fix.
- run: nix-update -u memos
- observe the diff to my last commit

| @ieda:matrix.org | Sorry, wrong room was open. But I might as well use this opportunity to ask a question I didn't find a clear answer yet. If a package is darwin-only, currently there is no way for the bot to create PRs for it? I maintain many packages for darwin and I'd like a way to automate the updates, if possible. | 18:57:49 |

 samasaur | it should work for darwin-only packages | 20:35:03 |
