 emily | especially since I think FFmpeg and GStreamer are redundant? | 19:44:54 |
| emily | (Randy Eckenrode: I did notice your FFXIV derivation enables GStreamer, does it actually use whatever Windows media API that's for?) | 19:45:11 |
 Randy Eckenrode | I think it was needed to run the Dawntrail benchmark. It may not be necessary for the retail game. I could try disabling it, but if we want
to advertise Wine support, don’t we need to support the option? | 20:18:15 |
| emily | I think we can pretty much just support whatever's not a headache and is useful, tbh. apparently you can maybe do without the GStreamer deps by installing Windows codecs inside the Wine prefix instead? | 20:52:14 |
| Randy Eckenrode | I could do that, but using GStreamer is easier. | 21:19:14 |
| Randy Eckenrode | I don’t know what in FFXIV would require codecs though. It used to use WMV for video, but they’re all Bink now. | 21:20:12 |
| emily | might not be easier once GStreamer or FFmpeg is 90% of the x86_64-darwin closure by weight :P | 21:30:23 |

 vcunat | stdenv doesn't build on the staging branch for the last few days:
https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixpkgs/staging/stdenv.aarch64-darwin
(Just FYI. I'm not keeping up well with everything now.) | 08:31:14 |
| vcunat | Ah, I think there's a fix:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/523510 | 08:33:18 |
|  funzen set a profile picture. | 12:39:30 |
 hexa | can we get a nix-darwin-26.05 branch shortly? I'd like to update infra. | 13:52:49 |

 samasaur | In reply to @hexa:lossy.network
can we get a nix-darwin-26.05 branch shortly? I'd like to update infra. Yep, I'm planning to cut it today (had a busy first part of the weekend but I'm largely free today) | 16:08:11 |
|  Tim changed their profile picture. | 19:14:37 |

 Ihar Hrachyshka | hexa: just saw the broken esr ping for firefox. if it's not fixed yet, I will take a look later today. I see the mozilla bugzilla. do we have a nixpkgs tracker for this? | 13:09:48 |
| hexa | wdym a nixpkgs tracker? an issue? | 13:10:09 |
| Ihar Hrachyshka | yes | 13:10:23 |
| Ihar Hrachyshka | if not it's fine, just want to make sure i have all the context when i get to it later. | 13:10:47 |
| hexa | I don't think so | 13:12:10 |
 Myria | Anyone have any idea why https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/522847 is supposedly causing 10000+ darwin rebuilds, but when I check some of the suggested packages needing a rebuild, e.g. python3, they have the same derivation? | 15:05:51 |
| Myria | * | 15:06:05 |
| Myria | Like, it should only change derivations for gcc on darwin, and afaik not much is built with gcc on darwin? | 15:08:24 |
| Myria | Oh nevermind, gfortran changes | 15:11:51 |
| Myria | That causes the rebuilds | 15:12:05 |

| Ihar Hrachyshka | Randy Eckenrode: FYI old firefox bindgen tripped on new sdk c++ headers: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/524663 | 02:52:50 |
| vcunat | FYI, is it OK-ish that mesa is dead on darwin?

 K900 | @Randy Eckenrode wanted to look into it IIRC | 09:49:47 |
| K900 | But right now it's probably fine, there's like 10 things that depend on it | 09:49:59 |
| Randy Eckenrode | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/519195 | 10:32:06 |
| K900 | The fuuuuuuck | 10:33:48 |
