| K900 | Any Qt enjoyers want to test this | 15:24:58 |
| K900 | Should build on top of master | 15:25:02 |

| @hoyhoy | I have brave installed via nix-darwin, but it wants to update itself from v1.88.132 to v1.88.134, but then reports that it can’t update itself because it’s managed. The problem is it continually keeps redownloading v1.88.134 every time it opens. Is there some way to force a rebuild update? Or to disable Automatically updating in Brave itself? Or should I just revert back to self-managed Brave? | 18:09:24 |
 mall0c | does anybody know the differences between sandbox on aarch64/x86_64-linux and darwin systems? | 22:04:01 |

| Oscar Vargas Torres | Hi there! Anyone experiencing direnv build failing? This is a dependency of mise, and it's currently failing to build for me. | 01:14:46 |
| Oscar Vargas Torres | Any workaround besides pinning:
nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/9cf7092bdd603554bd8b63c216e8943cf9b12512"; # pin: direnv 2.37.1 cgo breakage on newer unstable
| 01:15:52 |
| Oscar Vargas Torres | This is my current workaround:
# Overlays to fix package issues
overlays = [
# direnv 2.37.1 sets -linkmode=external but ships with CGO_ENABLED=0.
# Enable cgo so the external linker flag works. Remove once nixpkgs fixes it.
(final: prev: {
direnv = prev.direnv.overrideAttrs (old: {
env = (old.env or {}) // {CGO_ENABLED = "1";};
});
})
];

 Matthew Hiles | I'm experiencing the same, no better workaround though | 02:03:17 |
 viraptor | @emilazy:matrix.org at https://discourse.nixos.org/t/ibtool-replacement/55397/3 you mentioned the need to maintain/rewrite xcbuild. Could you tell me more about the pain points there? I already ran into the actool one and mostly addressed it, but I'm curious what's causing most issues in your experience. | 04:30:37 |
| viraptor | (overall I'm aware of xcbuild being very incomplete and abandoned) | 04:31:13 |
 Randy Eckenrode | Apple has released Swift Build, which is their implementation used by Xcode. | 10:48:37 |
| K900 | So has anyone tested the Qt 6.11 PR? | 10:52:34 |
| Randy Eckenrode | * | 10:54:25 |
| viraptor | Interesting! I guess that leaves just the random utilities that never got published, like PlistBuddy that would be missing. | 11:16:57 |
 Ben Sparks | the fix has already been merged. | 11:53:27 |

sorry, gonna have to reject /s | 12:15:27 |
| K900 | Are you trying to nixpkgs-review it | 12:15:53 |
| K900 | Because uhhh | 12:15:55 |
| K900 | Good luck with that I guess | 12:15:57 |
| Ben Sparks | I'm on darwin, should be a bit more limited than Linux (<500 rebuilds) | 12:16:31 |
| K900 | Oh I know, I'm just saying Qt is a big build and on Darwin it explodes if you look at it wrong | 12:17:03 |
| Ben Sparks | cowabunga it is | 12:21:24 |
