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.
-
freecad: segfault when opening file: This issue reports that after a recent update, FreeCAD segfaults with a segmentation fault error whenever opening any STEP, mesh, or project file, indicating a runtime crash likely related to the Coin3D library. The user provides a detailed stack trace and confirms the problem occurs on an unstable Nixpkgs version, seeking help to resolve the crash.
- The comments discuss whether this issue is a duplicate of a previous one involving compilation errors versus runtime segfaults, with consensus that this is a distinct runtime problem. Users identify a recent Coin3D update as the probable cause, confirm that downgrading Coin3D resolves the segfault, and share advice on how to override package versions in Nixpkgs using overlays or replaceDependencies, while noting limitations in directly using PRs for such fixes.
- Number of comments this week: 17
-
darktable: depends on insecure libsoup_2_4: This issue reports that including darktable in the package list on NixOS pulls in libsoup-2.74.3, which is flagged as insecure due to multiple known vulnerabilities and lack of recent stable releases or security backports. The problem arises because darktable depends on osm-gps-map, which in turn depends on the outdated and vulnerable libsoup 2 library, and there is discussion about updating osm-gps-map to use libsoup 3 or patching it to remove the insecure dependency.
- The comments reveal that although darktable does not directly depend on libsoup-2.74.3, its dependency osm-gps-map does, and osm-gps-map has not had a release since 2021 but has a development branch using libsoup 3. Participants discuss possible solutions including updating osm-gps-map to a newer commit, patching it to remove the dependency, or applying a Debian backport patch that migrates osm-gps-map to libsoup 3; attempts to apply the patch encountered build configuration issues, and further guidance is sought on how to properly update the pkg-config checks to libsoup 3.
- Number of comments this week: 8
-
Tracking: Building MSVC software natively: This issue is about enabling native building of MSVC software using Nix on Windows, aiming to support cross-compilation for MSVC beyond the currently supported Mingw environment. It tracks progress on integrating MSVC SDK support, adapting the standard environment for Clang with MSVC compatibility, and addressing challenges such as handling Windows-specific symlinks and improving the downloading and unpacking of SDK components.
- The comments discuss technical details about using xwin for managing SDK downloads and unpacking, the complexity of handling MSI and cabinet files, ongoing work to fix symlink issues on Windows, suggestions to package the MSVC toolchain separately, and clarifications on the scope of this issue focusing solely on native cross-compilation while proposing a future issue to reduce reliance on xwin.
- Number of comments this week: 6
-
nixos/frigate: check config before starting service: This issue addresses a problem where misconfigurations in the
services.frigate.settingscause the Frigate service to fail at runtime, leading to service downtime and slow iteration cycles. The reporter suggests adding a build-time configuration validation step usingpython3 -m frigate --validate-configto catch errors earlier and improve reliability.- The comments discuss the problem of the service failing and restarting in a loop without triggering alerts, propose a patch to validate the config at build time, and raise concerns about hardware probing in build sandboxes and cross-compilation complexities. They also consider systemd service parameters like StartLimitBurst to better handle service restart behavior when the service is slow to start.
- Number of comments this week: 6
-
nix-serve-ng: fails to launch with core dump: This issue reports that the nix-serve-ng service fails to start on NixOS unstable (25.11), crashing with a core dump due to an error where the user's home directory cannot be determined. The user provides a minimal reproducible configuration and relevant logs showing the service aborting immediately after launch.
- The comments discuss whether a linked pull request fixes the issue, with the original reporter unable to build the PR due to flakes and system rebuild constraints; a workaround involving fetching a specific nixpkgs revision and hardcoding the system architecture is shared, and it is suggested to link the PR to the issue for automatic closure upon merge.
- Number of comments this week: 5
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.
- Build failure: python3Packages.horizon-eda: This issue reports a build failure for the
python3Packages.horizon-edapackage in the stable Nixpkgs version 25.05, where the Meson build system fails with an error indicating an unknown targethorizon.soduring the build phase. The failure is reproducible by Hydra, and the logs show missing dependencies such asspnavandosmesa, as well as issues with locating certain headers and libraries, which likely contribute to the unsuccessful build. - unityhub: FontAsset.cs and Liberation Sans Do Not Exist: This issue reports that many Unity UI elements fail to load properly because the Liberation Sans font cannot be found, causing critical parts of the interface, such as the Asset Store, to become unusable. The error references a missing FontAsset.cs file in a non-existent directory, and this problem persists even when the Liberation Sans font is installed on the system, indicating a deeper issue with UnityHub's handling of font assets on the affected NixOS environment.
- 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 stable Nixpkgs channel (25.05). It includes a reference to the changelog for the new release and confirms that no existing pull request or duplicate issue addresses this update, ensuring it is relevant and necessary for the Nixpkgs repository.
zed-editor-fhs: mismatch withzed-editorabout provided packages and outputs: This issue addresses a discrepancy between thezed-editor-fhsandzed-editorpackages in the Nixpkgs repository, specifically regarding the provided packages and their outputs. The reporter expects these two related packages to have matching provided packages and outputs, but currently, they do not align, which may cause confusion or integration problems.- 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 due to missing features or protocols in libcurl, preventing successful login and normal operation.

3. cracklib: 2.10.0 -> 2.10.3: massively slim down: This pull request proposes updating cracklib from version 2.10.0 to 2.10.3 by restructuring it into multiple outputs to remove the bash dependency from the main output, eliminating the building of a large external wordlist in favor of the built-in one, thereby significantly reducing the package size from 10MiB to 1MiB and saving 9MiB of data transferred to every NixOS machine since cracklib is a mandatory system closure dependency of systemd.

Other Closed Pull Requests
- Haskell package set and compiler updates: Multiple pull requests update the Haskell ecosystem by upgrading Stackage LTS versions from 23.24 to 24.2 and the GHC compiler from 9.8.4 to 9.10.2. These updates include removing obsolete overrides, adjusting dependencies, and ensuring compatibility with newer Cabal versions to keep the Haskell packages current and stable.
- AWS-related package updates: Several pull requests update AWS-related packages including aws-c-auth, aws-c-common, aws-c-event-stream, and python mypy-boto3 packages to their latest versions. These updates ensure compatibility, incorporate upstream improvements, and keep the AWS SDK and stubs current with the latest releases.
- Python package updates and build backend changes: Updates to python3Packages.langchain, langgraph, and related packages include upgrading to latest versions, switching the build backend from pdm-backend to hatchling, and disabling flaky tests. These changes improve compatibility and stability, especially on the aarch64-darwin platform.
- Windows support and maintenance improvements: A pull request adds foundational Windows support to the lib.systems module by improving MSVC integration, creating a Windows team for package maintenance, and configuring Windows packages for indexing on search.nixos.org. This sets the groundwork for future MSVC build enhancements.
- NixOS systemd module configuration update: The systemd module configuration is converted from the deprecated
extraConfigoption to the newsystemConfigoption as per RFC 42. This includes updating tests and removing old configuration options to modernize the module.
- Steam Runtime and fhsenv improvements: The Steam-shaped fhsenv build process is reworked treewide by refactoring and exposing a Steam Runtime-friendly fhsenv for use by packages like umu-launcher and heroic. This improves dependency handling and integration within Nixpkgs.
- Darwin torch package segfault fix: A segfault on Darwin caused by duplicate OpenMP library inclusion in the torch package is fixed by removing explicit llvmPackages.openmp addition. The fix reverts previous related changes and disables certain failing tests masked by the segfault.
- Audit package backport and enhancements: A combined backport updates the audit package from 4.0.3 to 4.1.0, adding support for loading audisp plugins from symlinks, an update script, pkg-config metadata, testing, and building with libcap_ng for privilege dropping. Maintainers are also updated in this backport.
- Home Assistant and related Python package updates: The Home Assistant package and several dependencies are updated to their latest versions, including home-assistant itself and packages like aioamazondevices and pytest-homeassistant-custom-component. These updates ensure compatibility and incorporate recent improvements and fixes.
- Opencode package backport and improvements: The opencode package is backported from version 0.2.33 to 0.3.85, replacing online API data fetch with a local
models-devpackage and performing incremental version upgrades. The package builds successfully and passes basic functionality tests on aarch64-linux and aarch64-darwin.
- Mealie package update and fixes: The Mealie package is updated from 2.8.0 to 3.0.2, with removal of unnecessary dependencies, a fix for a NuxtJS frontend build issue, added API tests, and updated documentation. Testing confirms successful builds on x86_64-linux.
- Electron packages update: Electron-source, electron-bin, and electron-chromedriver packages are updated to newer upstream versions to include recent fixes and improvements.
- Tailscale tests stabilization and cleanup: Flaky Tailscale tests are disabled in a manual backport, with miscellaneous cleanup such as removing unused patches and selectively re-enabling certain tests to improve stability.
- Tinystatus package refactor: The tinystatus package build process is refactored to use finalAttrs, remove deprecated constructs, add pre- and post-install checks, sort attributes, update to a newer unstable version, and use makeBinaryWrapper. Compatibility with x86_64-linux and basic binary functionality are verified.
- Discord packages version bumps: Multiple Discord packages including discord, discord-canary, and discord-ptb are updated across platforms and architectures to newer versions, ensuring users have access to the latest features and fixes.
- Sunshine package refactor: The sunshine package is refactored by optimizing its update script, improving code structure with finalAttrs, removing unnecessary library usage, and enhancing maintainability and sorting.
- NixOS display manager VT enforcement: The use of virtual terminal 1 (tty1) is enforced for all display managers to align with upstream defaults, autovt@tty1.service is disabled when a display manager is enabled, and configurability of the initial VT is removed. This simplifies the system but removes getty on tty1 when booting into multi-user.target.
- Waydroid-helper package fixes: Various fixes to waydroid-helper include correcting service paths, adding dependencies like e2fsprogs, unzip, bindfs, fuse, and libhoudini to the installation path, and updating maintainership. Shared folder functionality remains unresolved.
- Dep-scan tool update and Python packages addition: The dep-scan tool is updated to fix errors with manifest v6 of the vulnerability database and now requires access to the cdxgen binary. New Python packages are introduced and the project is associated with the ngi team.
- Pantheon components updates and fixes: Several Pantheon components including pantheon.switchboard and pantheon.switchboard-plug-sharing are updated to newer versions, with fixes to dbus file paths, backported Gtk initialization fixes, and menu location corrections. Testing on x86_64-linux and NixOS tests is successful.
- Cardano packages maintainership transfer: Maintainership of multiple Cardano-related packages is transferred from t4ccer to aciceri by removing the former and adding the latter across all relevant package definitions.
