@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode Oh, I need to fixup nix-support. 02:20:39

@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeThat looks really familiar. I swear I fixed something like this before.04:50:41
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrodehttps://github.com/swiftlang/swift/pull/77780, but shouldn’t that be in Swift 6.2?05:09:55
@xoredg:matrix.orgxoredhmm I had aerospace and jankyborders through nix-darwin, I'm considering moving to hm so I can see the config and maybe get stylix support, I disabled the service on nix-darwin and yet even after telling me the packages were uninstalled, it is launching on login, jankyborders and all, am I assuming wrong that I don't need to do manual cleanup?05:12:13
@xoredg:matrix.orgxoredI can still see the daemons in ~/Library/LaunchAgents05:14:32
@xoredg:matrix.orgxoredmaybe it's a bug? while removing them it did ask show they were write-protected, but I didn't have to sudo or anything05:16:07
@isabel:isabelroses.comisabel changed their profile picture.16:41:41

Hi! A user for a flake of mine uses macOS. Unfortunately I don't own a Mac, so I have no idea of the nix-darwin ecosystem. They get this error when running an activation script. nixpkgs is the latest nixos-25.11 (but a week old one had the same result):

@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparaAnybody got an idea what the problem here could be?17:15:55
@leona:leona.isleonahttps://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/461884 fix will come in the next 1.5 weeks probably17:16:56
@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparaah okay! I thought those landed already, thanks!17:18:16
@leona:leona.isleonaAs nobody built something else, they need a full stdenv rebuild on darwin17:18:52
@capypara:matrix.orgCapyparaah! I see17:19:08
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeDarwin tries not to pull too much, but it needs Python during its bootstrap, which makes Python-related fixes into full rebuilds.19:23:11
@kfiz:matrix.sopado.dekfizYes. 22:25:52
@kfiz:matrix.sopado.dekfizI'll try this. Thanks.22:26:53
@toonn:matrix.orgtoonn .oO(Does Pypy change less often and is it capable enough?) 23:07:28
@toonn:matrix.orgtoonn (Just an intrusive thought : )) 23:07:47
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeIt’s a few versions behind CPython. The bootstrap story doesn’t look too bad. We would have to replace the top-level Python during the bootstrap.23:11:51
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeThere’s enough stuff that depends on CPython that updates have to go through staging anyway. It doesn’t seem worth the effort.23:12:29
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeSo PyPy, Rust, Go, Haskell, and what else all bootstrap from an upstream binary?23:14:01
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeBootstrapping Swift from source seems like doing it on hard mode.23:14:20
@toonn:matrix.orgtoonn Doesn't everything? Guix has GCC all the way from Mes but I don't think Nixpkgs does anything similar? 23:15:45
@toonn:matrix.orgtoonn I think with Swift the idea was more that since it's so recent it wasn't as difficult? 23:16:23
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrodenixpkgs doesn’t have it yet, but there is work being done on a minimal bootstrap.23:16:35
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeSwift assumes you have a Swift compiler handy. They restored building a C++-only bootstrap compiler, but it’s still buggy, and it doesn’t appear to be an intended bootstrap path on Darwin.23:17:43
