@emilazy:matrix.orgemily unless this is just SBCL linking against CoreFoundation and not related to env 13:22:03
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily I'm wondering about the ~/.CFUserTextEncoding thing though. build users shouldn't have that file, surely? 13:22:27
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyI wonder if applying https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/457703 fixes it13:24:19
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyif it does we should probably consider ^13:24:29
@sarahec:matrix.orgSarah Clark I need a bit of help. I'm working on python3Packages.bloodyad; it builds fine on linux but builds fail in the installPhase on Darwin with FileExistsError: File already exists: /nix/store/k8nji11liriv7ipwnz8wif5ajnlw1fxp-python3.13-bloodyad-2.5.0/bin/blood… 22:14:39
@sarahec:matrix.orgSarah ClarkHappens even after a garbage collect, where I confirm the file doesn't exist before the build22:15:12
@sarahec:matrix.orgSarah Clark The exported module is bloodyAD; I suspect we're hitting an issue with the case-insensitive filesystem 22:15:42
@sarahec:matrix.orgSarah ClarkRedacted or Malformed Event22:15:43
@sarahec:matrix.orgSarah Clarkhttps://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/45790222:16:06
@sarahec:matrix.orgSarah ClarkOr do I perhaps just have to mark it bad on Darwin?22:16:28
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeWish we had a case sensitive store by default. Unfortunately, there’s no way to convert existing stores.22:33:25
@samasaur:matrix.orgsamasaur maybe i'm misunderstanding but isn't this the opposite of the problem? like (assuming genv is coreutils env) genv -i env properly prints nothing, which implies to me that genv is clearing the environment before calling exec, but env -i genv prints __CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING 22:39:17
@samasaur:matrix.orgsamasaur like doesn't that imply that the fix would be in cases where env doesn't already clear the environment? 22:40:51
@samasaur:matrix.orgsamasaur * like doesn't that imply that the fix would have to be in cases where env doesn't already clear the environment? 22:40:55
@sarahec:matrix.orgSarah Clark

I found it after a bisect --they added the second line here:

[project.scripts]
bloodyAD = "bloodyAD.main:main"
bloodyad = "bloodyAD.main:main"
22:43:05
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeAre they trying to transition the script name to a different casing? Why would they do that?22:49:04
@sarahec:matrix.orgSarah Clark Yes, trying to make it case-insensitive. old: bloodyAD, new: bloodyad 22:50:12
@sarahec:matrix.orgSarah Clark Anyway, dropping line 2 above using substituteInPlace worked 22:50:56
@sarahec:matrix.orgSarah ClarkNo scripts in nixpkgs use the mixed-case form22:51:15

@ivy:faggot.shivyi got a pr current in progress to allow linking paths with spaces in them08:49:48
@ivy:faggot.shivywhich would finally allow linking Application Support nicely08:49:57
@ivy:faggot.shivy

as currently

buildEnv {
pathsToLink = ["/Library/Application Support"];
}
08:50:36
@ivy:faggot.shivydoes not work08:50:39
@ivy:faggot.shivyits in staging-next now08:50:43
@ivy:faggot.shivyand should after that be in master08:50:50
