@emilazy:matrix.orgemilythe bot comment shows the reasons it's not being merged05:42:11
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetikyep, seen it. So I guess I'd have to wait for either auto-merge, or for the existing maintainer to manually merge05:42:48
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilythere is no auto-merge :)05:44:27
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetik any advice then, do I create a separate PR to first make myself a maintainer, and then rework the existing one to only touch the pkgs/by-name ? 05:46:16
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyoh, I missed that khaneliman actually hit auto-merge05:47:35
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyit's not blocked because of Darwin, it's blocked because some of the jobs got skipped for some reason05:48:01
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilykicked CI, maybe that'll fix it05:48:18
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetikyou the best! 05:48:50
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetikthanks05:48:51
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetikbtw what would be a good resource to read up on to properly introduce new packages for darwinians? I'm tired of damn homebrew slop, and I'd like to migrate a few things that are still installed through it - akin to https://objective-see.org/tools.html05:50:14
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyI think just reading existing packages is the best way05:59:51
@samasaur:matrix.orgsamasaurthat and then just experience and asking questions. people here are very nice and helpful06:27:37
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetikWell, I've been on nix-darwin for two years, and it didn't even cross my mind that Matrix exists, let alone that people are welcoming and nice. 🥳 06:54:06

In reply to @nasso:matrix.org
ok i decided to go with atahanyorganci/nix-casks and it looks like it works

for the record i just switched to BatteredBunny's brew-nix because i had a hash mismatch with the other one when trying to install a cask (proton-mail-bridge)

works perfectly fine 👌

@ankarhem:matrix.internetfeno.menankarhem Is it possible to use custom taps? 11:40:01

@sarahec:matrix.orgSarah ClarkOnce you build your first few derivations, it becomes much easier20:30:48
@sarahec:matrix.orgSarah ClarkSince these packages have to be code signed to work, and we can't do that, the solution will be to download the dmg (inside your derivation) and copy the app to the right place. See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-unstable/pkgs/by-name/ta/tableplus/darwin.nix20:58:46

@ragdoc:matrix.orgragdocG'day. I see there's an open pull request https://github.com/nix-darwin/nix-darwin/pull/972 for Ollama. According to the comments, it seems like you guys are happy with it? If so, any idea when this might be merged into nix-darwin? There has not been any activity on the issue since November 2025.12:09:51
