Yeah, that's on me. Another case to test against... Fix incoming.

@sempiternal-aurora:matrix.orgMyriaHey, I was building staging on darwin and noticed that the recent darwin update cause the darwin build to fail (both x86 and arm). I've got a quick patch that disables the failing test, but is there something I should do to assure that this isn't a problem with upstream rsync and just our environment we build it in?06:53:52
@sempiternal-aurora:matrix.orgMyriaHmm, seems like homebrew has pushed the latest version, so it's probably just a nixpkgs issue06:54:58
@sempiternal-aurora:matrix.orgMyria * 07:03:53
@sempiternal-aurora:matrix.orgMyria*rsync07:03:56
@sempiternal-aurora:matrix.orgMyriaRsync update not darwin update. That was an oops on my part07:04:11
@viraptor:tchncs.deviraptor Rsync had some badness in the latest release, I've seen at least 3 people run into that one already today in unrelated ways.. 07:14:04
@sempiternal-aurora:matrix.orgMyriaYeah, fair enough. I've got a fix I'm just testing now that disables the failing tests on darwin, and hopefully that should fix things.07:20:23

@viraptor:tchncs.deviraptorGot a fix for you: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/52581101:54:10
@viraptor:tchncs.deviraptor* Got a fix for you. There was a lot of new weird stuff in macos26 icon generation: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/52581101:55:03
@kfiz:matrix.sopado.dekfiz Thx. Works for me. Had to reboot though. When I was directly opening it with open result/Applications/Element.app my machine became unresponsive. After a reboot the app opened normally as part of loginwindow, i.e. as part ot the previously opened applications. 03:05:33

The icons are parsed by the system and apparently I can crash one of those services. Don't think about it too much. Definitely no security implications there...

@mattsturg:matrix.orgMatt Sturgeon

I was reviewing a PR that adds 2 packages with platforms = darwin, but noticed CI shows zero rebuilds on darwin. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/461881#discussion_r3328961031

Does anyone here have any ideas? I don't have any darwin hardware, so I can't verify whether the packages actually evaluate on darwin or not.

Could be a packaging/eval issue, a CI issue, or a weird quirk I'm unaware of.

16:02:33
@khaneliman:matrix.orgAustin Horstmanmight be unsupported dependencies, i can test eval stuff 16:08:10
@mattsturg:matrix.orgMatt Sturgeon

Thanks for investigating.

eval-only — I can't build darwin

Ah, did you use something like pkgsCross?

16:28:58
@khaneliman:matrix.orgAustin Horstmanthere are some build issues16:30:08
