 Lorenz | That is silvans presentation about how to contribute to nixpkgs | 08:17:39 |

| zekjur | what’s the link to this event’s nixpkgs ZHF tracking issue? the slides link to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/352882, which is last year’s | 08:52:47 |
 ners | Seems to be this one:

NixOS 25.05 is released 🎉 Therefore ZHF ends now. Thank you all so much for your contributions!
huh. are we too late? :)
| 09:10:34 |
 infinisil | Haha yeah it was released yesterday https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nixos-25-05-released/64669 | 09:15:40 |

 mfrischknecht | Is there a policy to "promote" existing PRs to ZHF? I noticed verapdf is broken (dependency hash mismatch), and there's already an open PR here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/390112 | 10:58:20 |

| mfrischknecht | And I run into the next thing I'm unclear about; I'd be glad about some guidance on how we're handling the dropping of old Qt5 packages.
I looked at quaternion-qt5, which fails to build: https://hydra.nixos.org/build/297643965
...because it uses libquotient, which has dropped Qt5 support: https://github.com/quotient-im/libQuotient/releases/tag/0.9.0
...which also seems reflected in the quaternion project's own CMakeLists.txt: https://github.com/quotient-im/Quaternion/blob/dev/CMakeLists.txt#L64
They seemingly just didn't update their readme and GitHub tags.
Should I just open an issue to drop the Qt5 version? Should I prepare a PR? Are there any policy-decisions to this (dropping an old package)?
Also: I guess with the Qt5 version gone, we could get rid of the -qt6 suffix, too. I'm not sure about how much potential there is for refactoring because of that.

| thomas-zahner | I have an interesting problem when accessing https://hydra.nixos.org
With both Firefox and Chromium I get 403 responses and can't use the website. I've now debugged it with cURL and found the following.
Chromium: curl -I 'https://hydra.nixos.org/' -H 'user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/130.0.0.0 Safari/537.36'
Firefox: curl -I 'https://hydra.nixos.org/' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:132.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/132.0'
Removing Firefox/132.0 from Firefox's headers fixes the problem. Removing Chrome/130.0.0.0 from the Chromium headers also fixes the problem.
To me this sounds like the firewall is too restrictive. I've now modified the headers with a browser extension to work around the problem.
Could someone fix this issue?
| 11:42:25 |
| thomas-zahner | Realised that it just rejects old browser versions 😅 guess that might make sense.. | 11:56:54 |
| zekjur | if avocadoom is around (outside?), somebody make them aware of https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage/pull/1762 please :) | 12:10:47 |
| mfrischknecht | infinisil: As discussed, if you could flag https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/390112 for a backport, that'd be great 🙂 | 12:33:59 |
| mfrischknecht | infinisil: And this one :) https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/410503 | 12:57:03 |
 Fabio Lenherr | Tremor-language-server: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/410506
(updating was easier than fumbling with clang versions) | 13:01:04 |
 l0b0 | Prettier is broken on nixos-unstable, but fixed on master. Added a tiny MR to hopefully avoid this happening again. | 13:22:30 |

 john-rodewald | Who’s coming for barbecue at the lakeside? We’re done setting up and putting on vegan options, so do join now if you’d like some. | 15:01:30 |

| Matteo | Smatch: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/410556
Applied custom patch file to fix issues that made building impossible. Rest of the functionality is the same | 15:04:08 |
| infinisil | john-rodewald No need to bring carrots for fried rice, I think I have enough (if not too many) ingredients :) | 23:07:15 |
| infinisil | And carrots take really long | 23:10:35 |
