@khaneliman:matrix.orgAustin Horstmanlooks like a simple quoting issue in a recent change15:33:27

I was reviewing a PR that adds 2 packages with platforms = darwin, but noticed CI shows zero rebuilds on darwin. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/461881#discussion_r3328961031

Does anyone here have any ideas? I don't have any darwin hardware, so I can't verify whether the packages actually evaluate on darwin or not.

Could be a packaging/eval issue, a CI issue, or a weird quirk I'm unaware of.

16:02:33
@khaneliman:matrix.orgAustin Horstmanmight be unsupported dependencies, i can test eval stuff 16:08:10
@mattsturg:matrix.orgMatt Sturgeon

Thanks for investigating.

eval-only — I can't build darwin

Ah, did you use something like pkgsCross?

16:28:58
@khaneliman:matrix.orgAustin Horstmanthere are some build issues16:30:08
@khaneliman:matrix.orgAustin Horstmani'm testing some changes 16:30:25

FYI that branch exists but the PR to make it actually a stable release branch hasn't gone in yet so it is currently pointing to the exact same commit as master

@mattsturg:matrix.orgMatt Sturgeon Now I'm curious if any of the issues you identified also apply to the other minecraft launchers already packaged in nixpkgs 👀
prismlauncher was originally a polymc fork, for example

@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeveFound out the root cause, It seems to be an issue with nix optimise-store.09:29:44
