 Ivan Mincik (imincik) | Regarding geospatial packages in nixpkgs, I have a feeling that it is now time to move things to a new level. I would be very happy to discuss this. | 11:34:54 |
 autra | you'll propose it in the nix track, not the geospatial one? | 13:03:04 |
| autra | Although I don't really know what I could say in the geospatial room. Nix helps building/packaging, but no differently for geospatial than any software ecosystem... Also for geospatial, windows support is really important and I don't really know where we are regarding this support in nix/nixpkgs. | 13:40:34 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | Yes | 14:44:38 |

| Tim Sutton | Ivan Mincik (imincik): I made a flake for geodiff using Claude | 20:36:46 |
| Tim Sutton | Does Nixpkgs accept ai generated derivations? | 20:38:11 |
| Tim Sutton | And generally what do you think of the solution it came up with? | 20:38:59 |
| Tim Sutton | I tested the python package it created and it works perfectly | 20:39:47 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | This is obsolete, it should be pyproject = true; and all attributes should be changed as per https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#buildpythonpackage-function | 20:40:11 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | I am happy to review nixpkgs PR and get it merged. | 20:40:36 |
| Tim Sutton | So you can use Mergin QGIS plugin on QGIS on nixos now | 20:40:41 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | We can get it to nixpkgs quickly, you just need to change buildPythonPackage attributes to new pyproject standard. | 20:41:41 |
| Tim Sutton | In reply to @imincik:matrix.org
I am happy to review nixpkgs PR and get it merged. Ok great I’ll make some updates as per your comments | 20:41:48 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | And libgpkg needs to be properly packaged separate package as well. | 20:44:03 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | Looks like this https://github.com/luciad/libgpkg is proper upstream repo for libpkg. | 20:45:42 |

| autra | Ivan Mincik (imincik): unfortunately, I won't be able to go to FOSDEM this year | 18:28:33 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | That's sad, but thanks for letting me know. | 20:06:41 |

| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | GDAL has failed on aarch64 Darwin - https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixpkgs/unstable/python312Packages.gdal.aarch64-darwin/all | 08:19:00 |
| 16 Dec 2025 |
| autra | Do you think we should / can backport gdal 3.12 to 25.11? | 08:21:26 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | I don't think we should backport it. | 09:36:11 |
| autra | we limit to patches? (fine by me :-)) | 09:36:35 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | Yes, I think so. | 09:39:08 |
