 kaynetik | What would you do if OfBorg check for darwin is stuck for 5+ days on a new PR? | 05:29:34 |
 K900 | Nothing, that's kind of expected | 05:31:06 |
| K900 | There is not nearly enough capacity there to keep up with the queue | 05:31:15 |
| kaynetik | Oh I'm new as a maintainer | 05:31:19 |
| kaynetik | So still learning the ropes | 05:31:38 |
| kaynetik | and usually how long does a darwin-rebuild PR take to get in the queue? | 05:32:45 |
| kaynetik | * 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 | Could be a very long time | 05:33:47 |
| K900 | It's not blocking the merge though | 05:33:52 |
| kaynetik | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/498766 | 05:39:38 |
| kaynetik | well in my case it is, unless I'm blind to it | 05:39:53 |
| kaynetik | K900: thanks for quick responses, I appreciate it 🫡 | 05:40:30 |
 emily | the bot comment shows the reasons it's not being merged | 05:42:11 |
| kaynetik | yep, seen it. So I guess I'd have to wait for either auto-merge, or for the existing maintainer to manually merge | 05:42:48 |
| emily | there is no auto-merge :) | 05:44:27 |
| kaynetik | 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 |
| emily | oh, I missed that khaneliman actually hit auto-merge | 05:47:35 |
| emily | it's not blocked because of Darwin, it's blocked because some of the jobs got skipped for some reason | 05:48:01 |
| emily | kicked CI, maybe that'll fix it | 05:48:18 |
| kaynetik | you the best! | 05:48:50 |
| kaynetik | thanks | 05:48:51 |
| kaynetik | btw 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.html | 05:50:14 |
| emily | I think just reading existing packages is the best way | 05:59:51 |
 samasaur | that and then just experience and asking questions. people here are very nice and helpful | 06:27:37 |
| kaynetik | Well, 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 |

ok i decided to go with atahanyorganci/nix-casks and it looks like it works for the record i just switched to BatteredBunny's brew-nix because i had a hash mismatch with the other one when trying to install a cask (proton-mail-bridge)
works perfectly fine 👌 | 10:55:45 |
 ankarhem | Is it possible to use custom taps? | 11:40:01 |
| nasso | In reply to @ankarhem:matrix.internetfeno.men
Is it possible to use custom taps? no clue tbh sorry 😶 | 13:26:38 |
 Sarah Clark | Once you build your first few derivations, it becomes much easier | 20:30:48 |
| Sarah Clark | Since these packages have to be code signed to work, and we can't do that, the solution will be to download the dmg (inside your derivation) and copy the app to the right place. See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-unstable/pkgs/by-name/ta/tableplus/darwin.nix | 20:58:46 |
