 Ivan Mincik (imincik) | Fix for mapserver on Darwin : https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/464834 | 08:08:44 |
| autra | Hi! There will be a geospatial room at Fosdem this year. Is anyone going? | 10:36:36 |
| autra | and/or presenting things about geospatial nix? | 10:36:59 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | I am going ! | 10:37:02 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | I already have my flights booked. | 10:37:12 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | I would be great to catch up in person ! | 10:37:37 |
| autra | Yes! I'll try to come, which depends on a lot of factor :-) | 11:13:49 |
| autra | Brussels is not that far from my city | 11:15:11 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | I would be really great if you could come. I have so many things related to geo nix to discuss :) | 11:16:15 |
| autra | Aha yes I'm sure, me too ;-) Will you present something about nix there Ivan Mincik (imincik)? | 11:23:02 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | I might have talk about https://imincik.github.io/nix-forge/ if accepted in NixOS room. | 11:23:47 |
| autra | there's 2 conditions I need to check before the 1st of december: whether or not it is doable family-wise, and to have a talk accepted so that my company funds me. I have several possible subjects: giro3d, py3dtiles (projects I maintain) (and the nlnet effort with it), or something more general about 3d, or stuff related to postgis | 11:25:40 |
| autra | is it related to https://geospatial-nix.today/ ? | 11:26:01 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | No, it just looks like that because I am not very good in designing new UIs . I am now in the process of re-thinking geospatial-nix.today . | 11:27:58 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | Nix Forge is about simple packaging and distribution of any kind of software. | 11:28:58 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | Regarding geospatial packages in nixpkgs, I have a feeling that it is now time to move things to a new level. I would be very happy to discuss this. | 11:34:54 |
| autra | you'll propose it in the nix track, not the geospatial one? | 13:03:04 |
| autra | Although I don't really know what I could say in the geospatial room. Nix helps building/packaging, but no differently for geospatial than any software ecosystem... Also for geospatial, windows support is really important and I don't really know where we are regarding this support in nix/nixpkgs. | 13:40:34 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | Yes | 14:44:38 |

 Tim Sutton | https://github.com/kartoza/nix-geodiff | 20:36:00 |
| Tim Sutton | Ivan Mincik (imincik): I made a flake for geodiff using Claude | 20:36:46 |
| Tim Sutton | Does Nixpkgs accept ai generated derivations? | 20:38:11 |
| Tim Sutton | And generally what do you think of the solution it came up with? | 20:38:59 |
| Tim Sutton | I tested the python package it created and it works perfectly | 20:39:47 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | This is obsolete, it should be pyproject = true; and all attributes should be changed as per https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#buildpythonpackage-function | 20:40:11 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | I am happy to review nixpkgs PR and get it merged. | 20:40:36 |
| Tim Sutton | So you can use Mergin QGIS plugin on QGIS on nixos now | 20:40:41 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | We can get it to nixpkgs quickly, you just need to change buildPythonPackage attributes to new pyproject standard. | 20:41:41 |
| Tim Sutton | In reply to @imincik:matrix.org
I am happy to review nixpkgs PR and get it merged. Ok great I’ll make some updates as per your comments | 20:41:48 |
