 Tim Sutton | how do you mean 'grass is using nix' - do you mean on their backend infrastructure or in their official instructions or something else? | 06:18:39 |
| Tim Sutton | In reply to @imincik:matrix.org
Maybe one more thing. Nix packages are not only for NixOS. They are universal for all Linux and for Mac (hopefully, until we meet in Slovakia, QGIS Nix package will work on Mac as well). So, I would advertise Nix packages as universal ones. Ok I'll adjust the wording. I tried QGIS using nix on ubuntu once and it was extremely slow | 06:19:37 |
| Tim Sutton | does it give a good experience generally? | 06:19:55 |

You can run grass from their upstream source code using nix run (That's one of the features of new cli) + use nix develop to get development environment | 06:20:23 |
| Tim Sutton | another thing I am looking to get working on nix is otb | 06:21:31 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | In reply to @timlinux:osgeo.org
does it give a good experience generally? I am running qgis on ubuntu from time to time and it works nicely. The only reason why it could be slow in your case is the access to gpu which does't work on non-nixos out-of-box. | 06:22:09 |
| Tim Sutton | I am half way there with this: https://github.com/timlinux/nix-config/tree/main/packages/otb | 06:22:22 |
| Tim Sutton | but still lots of stuff to figure out | 06:22:31 |

but still lots of stuff to figure out It is very hard to me to solve these kind of complex problems over the chat. Maybe we can do a video call after I'm back from foss4g to pre-plan some work. | 06:27:55 |

| Tim Sutton | safe travels | 06:31:49 |
| Tim Sutton | happy to hop on video chat any time | 06:32:01 |

happy to hop on video chat any time I'm back from Estonia on July 10th. Will let you know | 06:33:28 |

 wcohen | Hi all. Poking around at re-working on getting QGIS building on nix on Mac: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/157862.
Tim — are you the right person to help diagnose linking all the dylibs? Last time I worked on this it seemed like ultimately a haphazard process of rewriting a bunch of dylib paths till stuff worked, but I’d love to eventually get a Mac packager’s eyes on the WIP once I bring it back up to date. | 13:00:57 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | wcohen: that's coincidence. That's another person working on QGIS Mac build as well and he has some progress. We need to coordinate. I'll ask him to publish what he has. | 13:04:31 |
| wcohen | Let me know how I can help. That branch at the time got all the deps working and technically it “built,” but would always crash upon starting the .app. | 13:08:24 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | I just messaged him to share what he has. | 13:09:31 |
| wcohen | Thanks! | 13:39:05 |

| Tim Sutton | wcohenunfortunately I left the macOS ecosystem after dabbling in it for 5 years of so, so I can't help much

Hey! I'm very new to nixpkgs (I maintain only one package I just added to fix ifcopenshell build) and this channel, but I'm interested. If there is no requirements about experience or long term commitment, I'd like to join :-) | 09:39:44 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | Hi autra , you are very welcome to join. You can learn as you go, start from simple things like reviewing version bumps. I can also provide some onboarding sessions if you are interested.
Please, create a pull request with short introduction of yourself and assign it to me for review. Looking forward to see you around.

All good. Thanks! | 10:22:43 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | Easy to review QGIS-LTR build fix https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/326550 . | 13:27:15 |
 nh2 | gdal is still broken on 24.05:
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues/9887#issuecomment-2225823879
Does Hydra use bcachefs? | 15:25:15 |
| nh2 | Apparently those tests are known to be flaky: https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues/9887#issuecomment-2225846251 | 16:08:52 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | Yes, gdal tests are flaky especially wgen executed under high load. The problem is that by my experience they fail quite randomly. | 16:46:01 |
