@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...

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
@khaneliman:matrix.orgAustin Horstmani'm testing some changes 16:30:25
@khaneliman:matrix.orgAustin Horstman* there are some build issues with sparkle16:31:08

FYI that branch exists but the PR to make it actually a stable release branch hasn't gone in yet so it is currently pointing to the exact same commit as master

@mattsturg:matrix.orgMatt Sturgeon Now I'm curious if any of the issues you identified also apply to the other minecraft launchers already packaged in nixpkgs 👀
prismlauncher was originally a polymc fork, for example

prismlauncher was originally a polymc fork; pandora-launcher was recently merged, etc
