 Tim Sutton | Yes so it needs a package rebuild always right? | 05:42:47 |
 Ivan Mincik (imincik) | BTW, I am now working on QGIS build on Darwin. | 05:43:08 |
| Tim Sutton | Do I always need to make a custom derivation like I have done? | 05:43:24 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | In reply to @timlinux:osgeo.org
Yes so it needs a package rebuild always right? qgis-unwrapped is called in let binding in default (wrapped) package. You dont have any access to variable in let binding. | 05:44:50 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | Do you know about https://geospatial-nix.today ? You can configure QGIS with Python packages and plugins there | 05:47:18 |
| Tim Sutton | RE helping with packaging - thanks! I already appreciate the work you have done and follow the changes you make closely - I would help you if I could but my nixos knowledge is still very rudimentary | 05:48:43 |
| Tim Sutton | The geospatial-nix.today link you shared: No I hadnt seen that, looks like a great idea! | 05:51:24 |

RE helping with packaging - thanks! I already appreciate the work you have done and follow the changes you make closely - I would help you if I could but my nixos knowledge is still very rudimentary If you are interested, I can offer you few hours of my time during your stay in Slovakia and answer your questions. Or provide any help you need to advance in your Nix knowledge. | 05:52:20 |
| Tim Sutton | regarding the let binding, so what is the canonical way to enable it? Copy the derivation as I have done or is there a better way? | 05:52:46 |

If you are interested, I can offer you few hours of my time during your stay in Slovakia and answer your questions. Or provide any help you need to advance in your Nix knowledge. That would be amazing! To be honest I have spent the last year and a bit totally addicted to nixos | 05:53:44 |
| Tim Sutton | My biggest question is how to set up a QGIS developer environment with QtCreator, code editing, debugging etc, | 05:54:57 |
| Tim Sutton | I have been able to make custom builds as per my flake link but I want to be able to actually have a dynamic dev env | 05:55:37 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | You need to expose qgis-unwrapped

If you want to override it.

regarding the let binding, so what is the canonical way to enable it? Copy the derivation as I have done or is there a better way? But I suggest using qgis package from geospatial-nix (https://github.com/imincik/geospatial-nix) which is exposing unwrapped packages out-of-box. | 05:58:14 |
| Tim Sutton | The other things on my wish list are:
- separate out ltr and latest so that they can both be installed with proper discrete .desktop shortcuts onthe same system
- provide a 'batteries included' environment with grass, saga, whitebox-tools, pcraster (no package for that in nix yet!) etc
- easy enable / disable webkit
- split QGIS Server off to its own package and make it easy to set it up with e.g. nginx
| 06:00:08 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | Tim Sutton - osgeo: I am very happy to spend whole day with you in Bratislava and work on qgis and nix if you want. We can do a lot of improvements. Let me know. | 06:01:13 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | (I am boarding my flight to FOSS4G Tartu in 15 minutes) | 06:01:48 |
| Tim Sutton | ok safe travels! | 06:02:02 |
| Tim Sutton | sorry I took so long to find this room! | 06:02:11 |

All of them are solvable and I'll be interested in working on them. | 06:03:02 |
| Tim Sutton | And thank you for all the stuff you have done for QGIS on Nix - much appreciated! | 06:03:09 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | Tim Sutton - osgeo: how long do you stay in Slovakia ? | 06:03:50 |
| Tim Sutton | Anything you want to change on the new website, just let me know | 06:03:57 |
| Tim Sutton | I can change it easily after we launch it too - I hope to bring a bit more visibility to your work there | 06:04:23 |
| Tim Sutton | (and others in the team) | 06:04:36 |

Anything you want to change on the new website, just let me know I would consider using new CLI even if it requires to enable experimental features (nix shell instead of nix-shell). This would allow you to use flakes. | 06:05:10 |

| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | If you use DetSys nix installer, it enables new cli and flakes by default. | 06:06:05 |

Tim Sutton - osgeo: how long do you stay in Slovakia ? I don't know yet - I am having some issues getting my new residence card here in Portugal and until I have it I cannot make any travel plans | 06:09:41 |
