@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyit sounds like we lucked into getting an expert who has been around for the entire century and everyone respects as the replacement rather than someone good at corporate politics18:04:33
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyhope it works out18:04:43
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilywe could use a few Snow Leopards in a row at this point…18:04:56
@samasaur:matrix.orgsamasauryea rumor has it that it will be snow leopard–like. don't think we have heard anything official about it18:11:30
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeBeing back the cat names, and I might use them again instead of numbers.18:12:32
@samasaur:matrix.orgsamasaurmy favorite reaction to the dye news is that tweet at the end of the gruber article but my second favorite is this image:18:12:40

@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyI thought https://x.com/sdw/status/1996431428561822093 was funny18:14:12
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeGot Swift building by turning off LTO. Now I need to fix the SwiftPM hook to find the dependencies in the new place.18:15:41

Enzime: I think we forced all wrapper users for firefox and thunderbird to build the unwrapped from source :(

fix: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/468288

@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrodehttps://github.com/swiftlang/swift/issues/8299002:02:06
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeI get that crash when building swift-corelibs-xctest for Swift Driver. 😕02:02:28
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeI think I got the SDK propagation wrong.02:08:35
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeSo close. SwiftPM depends on Swift Driver. I guess I’m going to have stick with the CMake build of Swift Driver. I don’t like that.02:45:54
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeLLVM has a Darwin libtool? Hmm.05:24:40

In reply to @emilazy:matrix.org
disclaimer for Gruber, but I have been happy to learn that the person who took responsibility for Liquid Glass and has otherwise overseen the decline in Apple UI design over the past decade has been replaced by an actual interface designer https://daringfireball.net/2025/12/bad_dye_job
Amazing... I think I'll just stick to my plan of skipping macOS 26 entirely then.

@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeI wonder if I can do something hacky to swift-toolchain-sqlite to make it devendor sqlite. 🤔12:44:26
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat

Ever seen something like this?

  File "/nix/store/b229zll0pw9ljig3jblh2fda9in786i8-python3.13-knot-resolver-manager_6-6.0.17/bin/knot-resolver", line 2
    PATH=${PATH:+':'$PATH':'}
         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

This wrapper stuff is auto-generated by buildPythonPackage and it does work on linux.

13:24:41
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat(except for a tiny non-python patch changing this hash, it's all just nixpkgs master)13:27:22
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatOh, does macOS behave different than Linux around executing scripts? 🤔13:28:36
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunati.e. maybe it's syntax error because a wrong interpreter is used?13:29:33
@k900:0upti.meK900That's a Python syntax error13:29:55
@k900:0upti.meK900In a script with clearly bash syntax13:30:00
@k900:0upti.meK900 So something is trying to call python <bash script> 13:30:12
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatHmm, thanks. I think this moves me in a hopeful direction.13:32:28
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatI see. It's an unexpected interaction of nix-specific wrapping machinery with OS-specific piece of code from upstream.13:47:44
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat(when the script attempts to reexecute itself)13:48:07
