@hexa:lossy.networkhexaI have frankly no idea why people would need dovecot on a mac00:03:31
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaBut why does he claim it builds for him, but it fails to link for me on the community builder.00:04:04

@hexa:lossy.networkhexa "this"? 00:33:49
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa as I pointed out this is about the dovecot attribute 00:34:00
@hexa:lossy.networkhexawhich is still marked broken00:34:04
@benjaminsparks:chat.alugha.appBen Sparks

when checking out their branch manually, I got the following output

-> % nom-build -A dovecot_2_4
Finished at 02:40:49 after 0s
/nix/store/fx2jl6xc4dn0v1h95fi89f8ckxcnms3n-dovecot-2.4.3

-> % ./result/bin/dovecot --version
2.4.3 (e278b1e09b)

it's late, I hope I got the right package this time

but it was build from source, the original invocation took:

@hexa:lossy.networkhexathen I'm not sure waht you built00:44:19
@hexa:lossy.networkhexathe package is still marked broken on his branch00:44:23
@benjaminsparks:chat.alugha.appBen Sparkswhich is why i am equally surprised that anything even happened,00:45:10
@benjaminsparks:chat.alugha.appBen Sparks * which is why i am equally surprised that anything even happened,
because git log shows commit 3b5c8af5fc607523f8a7c4b7b2e864dd11a490a6 (HEAD, kfiz/push-uwwltzvqoknm), which lines up with the head of their branch
