 @philip4g:matrix.org | Hello all. I am a new contributor to Nixpkgs. I see that OfBorg for darwin has been queued for 16+ hours on my PR. Looking through recent history in this channel, I see comments like "not enough resources" and "permanently backlogged". Is anything being done? Are we lacking money, dev time, expertise? | 22:03:12 |
 hexa | yes, yes, no | 22:16:51 |
| @philip4g:matrix.org | Ok, so we are lacking time and money, but we have the expertise :) That's great as the first two are easier to solve than the third... how much money and time are we talking? | 22:31:04 |

 cafkafk | is there a way to make more targeted donations for stuff like this other than just like nixos foundation? | 13:31:49 |

| @teutat3s:pub.solar | I'd like to understand why pkgs.signal-desktop.meta.maintainers do not get pinged by OfBorg. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/342687
Is there anything obvious missing for OfBorg to ping correctly? | 14:23:45 |

I think the PR was merged before eval finished, possibly eval finished. splitting the signal-desktop files in such a weird way probably breaks the detection here though: https://github.com/NixOS/ofborg/blob/released/ofborg/src/maintainers.nix#L50-L77 | 13:15:16 |
| @teutat3s:pub.solar | Thank you for taking a look at it. Could we achieve code re-usage for signal-desktop in a better way without breaking ofborg detection of maintainers? | 14:42:56 |

Thank you for taking a look at it. Could we achieve code re-usage for signal-desktop in a better way without breaking ofborg detection of maintainers? Maybe with pos https://github.com/search?q=repo%3ANixOS%2Fnixpkgs%20%2Fpos%20%3D%2F&type=code | 14:50:14 |
| Artturin | Maintainer requests also work for us for the discord package | 14:51:28 |

Thank you for taking a look at it. Could we achieve code re-usage for signal-desktop in a better way without breaking ofborg detection of maintainers? keep meta in the same file as version like other packages do when they do that pattern or yeah pos it | 15:02:12 |
| @teutat3s:pub.solar | Okay, I'll give that a try, thank you all! | 15:02:48 |
| Lily Foster | you can do the unsafeGetAttrPos calls like ofborg above in repl to check what a given package attrs's maintainers "relevant files" are to ofborg | 15:04:08 |

 aleksana 🏳️⚧️ (force me to bed after 18:00 UTC) | Is there anything we can come up with for the current constant blocking and slowness of the darwin build queue? For example, calling on the community to donate or borrow more machines? | 09:28:10 |
| cafkafk | How invasive would it be to setup a host as an darwin builder, if it's not expected to be its only/primary use? | 09:44:37 |
| cafkafk | Like, does ofborg just use a list of remote builders, or do the hosts actually need to be dedicated | 09:45:21 |

 7c6f434c | It still doesn't use cachix uploads, right? | 09:47:27 |
| 7c6f434c | If so, it's basically add a bunch of identifiers into the config, build a package, run the binary in it with that config | 09:48:18 |
| 7c6f434c | During a build it might consume all the CPU you let it (not sure how you limit that on macOS) | 09:49:00 |
