@lisanna-dettwyler:matrix.orgLisanna Could someone checkout https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/15451 and run nix build .#checks.aarch64-darwin.nix-store-tests-run? I got a SIGTRAP in the CI but I don't see how it's related to my change 21:55:23

@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeveCan someone tell me exactly what makeDarwinBundle does?13:38:41
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeveBecause I am currently in the process of upstreaming bundlers to nixpkgs and there is going to be makeBinaryBundle, makeAppImageBundle, makeDebBundle as apart of the bundle feature in nix.13:40:13
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeve* Because I am currently in the process of upstreaming bundlers to nixpkgs and there is going to be makeBinaryBundle, makeAppImageBundle, makeDebBundle as apart of the bundle feature in nix. As privately spoken to tomberek.13:40:35

@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeve* Can someone tell me exactly what makeDarwinBundle does? Because I am trying to figure out if it's useful to nix bundlers.13:42:47
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeve* Because I am currently in the process of upstreaming bundlers to nixpkgs and there is going to be makeBinaryBundle, makeAppImageBundle, makeDebBundle to start out with as apart of the bundle feature in nix.

@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeve* Because I am currently in the process of upstreaming bundlers to nixpkgs and there is going to be makeBinaryBundle, makeAppImageBundle, makeDebBundle to start out with as apart of the bundle feature in nix packaged in nixpkgs. As privately spoken to tomberek about the opinion on it.14:03:04
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeIsn’t there already a stalled PR for packaging Darwin applications from archives? Why would we have a helper per archive format?14:03:30

Re: makeDarwinBundle

See: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/91849ded6ed12d309e6697bea17e0bda5fdc7ad3/pkgs/build-support/make-darwin-bundle/default.nix#L1_L4

given a package with an executable and an icon, make a darwin bundle for

it. This package should be used when generating launchers for native Darwin

applications. If the package contains a .desktop file use

desktopToDarwinBundle instead.

14:05:08
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeveIdk. I am trying to ask this.14:05:21

@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeveI feel like this should be deprecated in 26.1114:06:14
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeve* I feel like this should be deprecated in 26.11, do you agree?14:06:25

@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeWhy?14:06:38
