II. Issues

2.1 Top 5 Active Issues:

We consider active issues to be issues that that have been commented on most frequently within the last week. Bot comments are omitted.

1. CI labelling and branch for PRs that rebuild all NixOS tests: This issue addresses the challenge of managing pull requests (PRs) that trigger rebuilds of all NixOS tests, which are expensive and not properly labeled in continuous integration (CI). It proposes creating a dedicated branch (e.g., staging-nixos) for batching such PRs, especially kernel and test driver updates, alongside introducing a CI label to identify these costly rebuilds and streamline their handling without overwhelming the main branches or CI resources.

   • The discussion centers on whether to use an existing branch like staging or create a new one specifically for kernel and test driver updates that rebuild all NixOS tests, weighing the frequency and impact of these rebuilds. Participants agree on the need for a clear labeling system in CI to flag such PRs and debate the branch naming and workflow details, emphasizing balancing rebuild costs, update frequency, and maintaining efficient channel updates without overloading CI or complicating merges.
   • Number of comments this week: 12

2. CI: Automatically notify/request review of maintainers for dependents affected by the addition of knownVulnerabilities: This issue proposes implementing an automatic notification system to alert or request reviews from maintainers of dependent packages affected by the addition of known vulnerabilities, aiming to reduce reliance on manual actions. The discussion explores various approaches, including pinging maintainers of removed packages, scoring maintainers based on their proximity to changes, and balancing notification noise with usefulness, while also considering the challenges of build failure notifications and the potential impact on maintainers.

   • The comments extensively debate how to best notify maintainers about package removals or vulnerabilities, suggesting heuristics like scoring maintainers by relevance and limiting notifications to avoid spam. Participants agree on the value of automatic pings for dropped packages and discuss optional review requests, while also acknowledging the complexity of build failure notifications and the need to avoid vetoes on security-related changes. Overall, the conversation emphasizes finding a practical, scalable solution that increases transparency without overwhelming maintainers.
   • Number of comments this week: 12

3. signal-desktop-bin: deprecate?: This issue discusses the potential deprecation of the signal-desktop-bin package in favor of the source-built signal-desktop package within nixpkgs, highlighting that the binary package is currently maintained across multiple platforms but the source build lacks support for Darwin (macOS). The main concern is whether to remove the Darwin binary build if no one volunteers to maintain it, and the comments focus on efforts and challenges related to enabling a full source build of Signal Desktop on Darwin, including patching dependencies and build failures.

   • The commenters generally agree that dropping the binary package without a maintainer is reasonable and explore the feasibility of building Signal Desktop from source on Darwin, sharing patches and troubleshooting build errors related to WebRTC and toolchain issues. They discuss workarounds involving cctools.libtool and xcodebuild, note ongoing difficulties with Chromium and Electron dependencies, and suggest consolidating efforts in a separate issue to better coordinate progress on Darwin support.
   • Number of comments this week: 8

4. Build failure: i3ipc (Python): This issue reports a build failure of the Python package i3ipc in the Nixpkgs unstable channel (version 25.11), where the build fails during the test phase due to async test functions not being supported natively by pytest without additional plugins. The problem causes multiple test failures related to async fixtures, and users have discussed workarounds involving overlays to skip tests, but some report these do not fully resolve the issue; a fix is currently being developed in a pull request.

   • Commenters confirmed the build failure affects other packages as well and shared overlay snippets to disable testing phases as a workaround. Some users found partial success with overlays that skip tests, while others continued to experience failures. The root cause is identified as pytest not supporting async tests without plugins, leading to many test failures. A contributor is actively working on a fix in a pull request, inviting review and feedback.
   • Number of comments this week: 7

5. rime-wanxiang: custom patches don't work: This issue reports that custom patch files (*.custom.yaml) for the rime-wanxiang input method in nixpkgs do not take effect because the package compiles the schema before the install phase, placing artifacts in the nix store and preventing user modifications from being applied. The user describes difficulty deploying changes via the usual GUI options and seeks guidance on how to properly deploy custom configurations to make them effective.

   • The comments include a user offering a pull request to address the issue, discussion about deployment methods including using the rime_deployer tool, and clarification that removing the build directory and redeploying resolves the problem. It is suggested that the PR should be kept to avoid unnecessary compilation and preserve certain configuration files, with the original poster agreeing to update the PR after moving.
   • Number of comments this week: 7

2.2 Top 5 Stale Issues:

We consider stale issues to be issues that has had no activity within the last 30 days. The team should work together to get these issues resolved and closed as soon as possible.

1. Build failure: python3Packages.horizon-eda: This issue reports a build failure for the python3Packages.horizon-eda package in the Nixpkgs stable release 25.05, where the Meson build system fails with an error indicating an unknown build target horizon.so. The problem has been consistently reproduced by Hydra, and the logs reveal missing dependencies such as spnav and osmesa, as well as a failure during the build phase when invoking Ninja to build the specified target.
2. Update Request: cie-middleware-linux 1.5.6 → 1.5.9: This issue requests an update of the package cie-middleware-linux from version 1.5.6 to the newer upstream version 1.5.9 in the Nixpkgs stable channel (25.05). It includes a link to the changelog for the new release and confirms that no existing pull request or duplicate issue addresses this update, ensuring the request is relevant and necessary.
3. zed-editor-fhs: mismatch with zed-editor about provided packages and outputs: This issue reports a discrepancy between the zed-editor-fhs and zed-editor packages in terms of the provided packages and their outputs, which are expected to match but currently do not. The reporter highlights the need for consistency by comparing both packages on the NixOS package search and requests that the maintainers address this mismatch to ensure alignment.
4. nheko: libcurl is not build properly with it: This issue reports that the libcurl library included with the nheko package in Nixpkgs stable version 23.05 is not built with the necessary options, causing it to fail when attempting to communicate with servers. As a result, users experience connection errors such as autodiscovery failures, preventing successful login and normal operation of the nheko client.
5. Update Request: libsForQt5.xp-pen-deco-01-v2-driver 01-v2-driver-3.4.9-231023 → 01-v2-driver-4.0.7-250117: This issue requests an update of the package libsForQt5.xp-pen-deco-01-v2-driver from version 3.4.9-231023 to the newer 4.0.7-250117 in the Nixpkgs unstable channel. The updated version introduces a new graphical user interface and supports individual program button mapping, which can enhance user productivity, making it a recommended upgrade over the older package still available for download.
