@niklaskorz:matrix.orgniklaskorzwell, at least everyone gets a fix now (including upstream)16:13:03
@niklaskorz:matrix.orgniklaskorz* looks like QWindow now has an intermediate QContainerLayer in Qt6 instead of directly containing the CALayer, and since VulkanCapsViewer unfortunately isn't using QVulkanInstance but tries to find the layer by itself... :D16:13:10
@niklaskorz:matrix.orgniklaskorzmhm, actually that's an even more recent change in Qt 6.10 while upstream is on 6.9... guess I'll propose the patch to them and they can merge it whenever they proceed to 6.10+ themselves16:24:25
@isabel:isabelroses.comisabel changed their profile picture.20:55:21

@theo-paris:matrix.org@theo-paris:matrix.org left the room.00:37:48
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetik What would you do if OfBorg check for darwin is stuck for 5+ days on a new PR? 05:29:34
@k900:0upti.meK900 Nothing, that's kind of expected 05:31:06
@k900:0upti.meK900 There is not nearly enough capacity there to keep up with the queue 05:31:15
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetikOh I'm new as a maintainer 05:31:19
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetikSo still learning the ropes 05:31:38
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetikand usually how long does a darwin-rebuild PR take to get in the queue?05:32:45
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetik* and usually how long does a darwin-rebuild PR take to get executed, from the moment it gets onto the queue?05:33:10
@k900:0upti.meK900 Could be a very long time 05:33:47
@k900:0upti.meK900 It's not blocking the merge though 05:33:52
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetikhttps://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/49876605:39:38
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetikwell in my case it is, unless I'm blind to it05:39:53
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetik K900: thanks for quick responses, I appreciate it 🫡 05:40:30
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilythe bot comment shows the reasons it's not being merged05:42:11
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetikyep, seen it. So I guess I'd have to wait for either auto-merge, or for the existing maintainer to manually merge05:42:48
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilythere is no auto-merge :)05:44:27
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetik any advice then, do I create a separate PR to first make myself a maintainer, and then rework the existing one to only touch the pkgs/by-name ? 05:46:16
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyoh, I missed that khaneliman actually hit auto-merge05:47:35
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyit's not blocked because of Darwin, it's blocked because some of the jobs got skipped for some reason05:48:01
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilykicked CI, maybe that'll fix it05:48:18
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetikyou the best! 05:48:50
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetikthanks05:48:51
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetikbtw what would be a good resource to read up on to properly introduce new packages for darwinians? I'm tired of damn homebrew slop, and I'd like to migrate a few things that are still installed through it - akin to https://objective-see.org/tools.html05:50:14
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyI think just reading existing packages is the best way05:59:51
@samasaur:matrix.orgsamasaurthat and then just experience and asking questions. people here are very nice and helpful06:27:37
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetikWell, I've been on nix-darwin for two years, and it didn't even cross my mind that Matrix exists, let alone that people are welcoming and nice. 🥳 06:54:06
