| @azban:matrix.org | are node binaries supposed to be able to run without having node specified as a package in your environment? | 22:17:48 |
 dish [Fox/It/She] | yes | 22:23:50 |
| 24 Mar 2026 |
| @azban:matrix.org | any idea why that wouldn't be the case with this config? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/51600fecc3d3a57353c4f9cf72a22f1f9efc58ae/pkgs/by-name/ea/eas-cli/package.nix | 00:04:48 |
| @azban:matrix.org | getting: env: ‘node’: No such file or directory.. Do I need to wrap this to point to the write node? | 00:05:35 |
| @azban:matrix.org | * getting: env: ‘node’: No such file or directory.. Do I need to wrap this to point to the right node? | 00:05:49 |
| @azban:matrix.org | that seemed to do it | 00:11:34 |

any idea why that wouldn't be the case with this config? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/51600fecc3d3a57353c4f9cf72a22f1f9efc58ae/pkgs/by-name/ea/eas-cli/package.nix the file that gets symlinked as $out/bin/eas in postFixup doesn't have its shebang fixed with patchShebangs since patchShebangsHook runs in fixupPhase which is right before the code in postFixup runs | 02:44:51 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | and so it doesnt have a correct shebang that would point to a nodejs already | 02:45:08 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | and having the proper shebang would register the correct nodejs as a dependency and then you wouldn't have to wrap it | 02:45:31 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | so tl;dr the packaging is slightly wrong and then it doesnt work properly | 02:47:01 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | hmm, why doesn't nodeJsInstallExecutables link to nodejs-slim instead of nodejs? Not installing corepack and npm with everything could save a few dozen mb everywhere, which I think would be a good tradeoff. | 16:15:16 |

 Scrumplex | I have been hitting my head against the current state of mirrors-support in nixpkgs around Node.
- fetchPnpmDeps: supports
NIX_NPM_REGISTRY as an impure env var
- importNpmLock: no mirror support (needed in fetchurl)
- fetchYarnDeps: no mirror support
- fetchNpmDeps/prefetchNpmDeps: supports
config.npmRegistryOverridesString (and npmRegistryOverrides by extension)
I was trying to get all of these under the same roof in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/504349 using the fetchurl NIX_MIRRORS_<name> feature as a common baseline, but I am not sure if this is the best way forward.
For completion's sake we should probably also add support for registry.yarnpkg.org and npm.jsr.io, but I think this is all very convoluted sadly :/

 hsjobeki | The pnpmFetcher in nixpkgs annoyed me really hard the last couple of days | 12:00:42 |
| Scrumplex | fetchPnpmDeps is definitely not the best thing in the world but sadly the best we have at the moment.
Maybe I can interest you in my importPnpmLock.nix (also mirrord to GitHub). Though that is only a solution if you are okay with IFD
