@koalalorenzo:matrix.orgkoalalorenzo * Hello! (And happy new year 🥳). I am reaching out because I want to help testing a PR for darwin, but I don't know exactly what to do 😄 I tried to run nixpkgs-review but I am not sure what I could do. Is there any docs/material that I could use to help out? 21:44:57

@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat It would be nice if someone could look into this man failure on aarch64-darwin:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/475079#issuecomment-3704829596
10:19:00
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat(really many packages depend on that one)10:19:21
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode I was today years old when I learned that Ghostty breaks running the man-db tests. 13:45:00
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode It sets MANPATH to /Applications/Ghostty.app/Contents/Resources/ghostty/../man, which doesn’t exist. 13:45:21

@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeI’m not able to reproduce locally. 😬14:05:33
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode I’m doing nix develop -i github:NixOS/nixpkgs?ref=staging-next-25.11#man then running the stages manually. I have to skip man-symlinks-with-matching-names because it gets confused that /var is a symlink to /private/var, but the other tests all pass. 14:07:12
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeIIRC exit status 139 is usually code-signing related, but I should have the same badly signed binaries in that case. And why would it only fail for that one test, too?14:09:15
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode nix build github:NixOS/nixpkgs?ref=staging-next-25.11#man also succeeds. 14:19:01
