@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeveThis is in OCI images?14:32:28
@k900:0upti.meK900The best you can hope for is some sort of flatpak-style drivers-in-a-sidecar mechanism14:32:30
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeve* This is in OCI images or application containers?14:32:40
@k900:0upti.meK900This is in any container14:32:36
@k900:0upti.meK900Anything that requires you to combine drivers from one system with software from another14:32:52
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeve* This is in OCI container or application containers?14:32:59
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeveJust try the default bundler in https://github.com/NixOS/bundlers/tree/master just to see if there is issue. Because I am sure that you haven't tried it yet.14:34:06
@k900:0upti.meK900Look I'm not going to set up an entire demo system to prove a point14:34:42
@k900:0upti.meK900But I can promise you there are systems where it's not actually going to work correctly14:35:09
@k900:0upti.meK900 Because it working correctly is, again, physically impossible 14:35:22
@k900:0upti.meK900If you want to see explosions, just go bundle something from, like, NixOS 24.11, and run it on Fedora Rawhide14:36:06
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeveI only care about bundling something in 26.05 and greater.14:36:52
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeve* I only care about bundling something in 26.05 and greater as that is the supported versions of nixos.14:37:17
@k900:0upti.meK900So you're just going to have the same problem in two years14:37:19
@k900:0upti.meK900(or, more realistically, in one glibc upgrade)14:37:49
@k900:0upti.meK900Actually I'm pretty sure 25.11 on Fedora Rawhide will also blow up14:37:58
@k900:0upti.meK900Which is very much a Supported Version of NixOS14:38:07
@axel_w:matrix.orgaxwIs there a way to lock applications to a specific workspace declaratively? I find that after every update the prefrence is reset. So… is there a nix option?16:32:24
@axel_w:matrix.orgaxwI know that yabai and stuff exists, I try to rely on native features as much as possible though. I find that a combination of stage manager and workspaces with keyboard shortcuts and raycast works rather well16:34:02

@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeI linked this over in the Swift channel, but I'm also linking it here. Having to use platform libs for Swift then having the platform drop one of them is really annoying. I don’t know whether anyone was using it, but still.23:44:33

@viraptor:tchncs.deviraptor Hi @emilazy:matrix.org , your old request for changes is blocking the merge of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/333546 - would you mind having a look? 21:08:14

@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode Has anyone else run into crashes in libicucore.dylib on macOS 26.4? 00:49:31
@saiko:knifepoint.netKatalin 🔪What’s the Swift channel? 👀10:05:39

@saiko:knifepoint.netKatalin 🔪Nice, thank you!10:11:14
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeI’ll probably poke at Swift a little bit this weekend, but I want to work on separating the SDK from the source release sources. I’m going to move the required sources into the main source releases and update them to get their sources from the other packages. Maybe XNU can be made to build its headers again, which would eliminate a lot of the private header stuff, but that’s not a priority right now. The goal is day 1 SDK updates for Darwin in nixpkgs.11:41:37
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeSource release updates to 26.3 (or 26.4) will come at another time. I want to do them for 26.05, but they required a bunch of changes when I looked at them before.11:42:25
