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.
-
clang: not pulled from cache using nixos-unstable instead of nixpks-unstable : This issue reports a build failure when attempting to compile clang 19.1.7 on macOS 26 using the nixos-unstable channel, where the system version detection in LLVM tests fails due to a mismatch between the expected and actual macOS major version numbers. The user and commenters discuss whether this is an upstream LLVM bug or related to Nix caching, with suggestions to use cached clang builds from nixpkgs-unstable instead of nixos-unstable, and share detailed build logs and flake configurations to diagnose the problem.
- The discussion centers on the clang build failure on macOS 26, with initial suspicion of an upstream bug; users share error logs showing build termination during static library linking. They explore whether the issue stems from using nixos-unstable versus nixpkgs-unstable, noting that nixpkgs-unstable provides cached builds that avoid local compilation. Multiple participants confirm similar failures, exchange configuration details, and recommend switching channels or disabling conflicting packages like podman to successfully use cached clang binaries.
- Number of comments this week: 19
-
Update Request: wayfire 0.9.0 → 0.10.0: This issue requests an update of the Wayfire package in Nixpkgs from version 0.9.0 to 0.10.0, highlighting the need to address build failures caused by missing dependencies and compatibility problems with certain components like firedecor. Contributors discuss various build issues, share patches to fix header file references, and coordinate efforts to successfully compile and run the updated package while also considering the impact on related software such as MATE.
- The comments reveal a collaborative troubleshooting process where users identify missing dependencies, propose fixes including patching source files, and share their build experiences; discussions also cover challenges with abandoned components and dependency cleanup, with some participants coordinating further communication outside the issue thread.
- Number of comments this week: 17
-
Build failure: openvpn: This issue reports a build failure of OpenVPN version 2.6.14 on the NixOS unstable channel (25.11), where the compilation fails due to redeclaration errors of enumerators in the OpenVPN source conflicting with definitions in the Linux kernel headers. The original poster notes that Hydra does not reproduce the failure, suspects a possible interference from an external package (awsvpnclient), and shares detailed build logs and configuration inputs while maintainers and other users discuss potential causes and troubleshooting steps.
- The discussion reveals that the build failure is not reproducible by others on the same unstable branch, suggesting a local or configuration-specific problem. The original poster confirms no overrides on OpenVPN but uses awsvpnclient, which might override OpenVPN derivations. Participants request more diagnostic output, including build traces, and suggest checking for conflicting package overrides or differences between nixos-unstable and nixpkgs-unstable channels to isolate the cause.
- Number of comments this week: 11
-
multipass: failed to open file multipass_root_cert.pem: This issue reports a permission denied error when Multipass tries to open the root certificate file located at
/usr/local/etc/multipassd/multipass_root_cert.pem, preventing it from running properly in user space. The problem appears related to restrictive ownership and permissions on the/usr/localdirectory and its subdirectories, and a proposed patch suggests relocating the certificate to/var/lib/multipassto resolve these permission issues.- The discussion reveals that the certificate file is created with root ownership and restrictive permissions under
/usr/local/etc/multipassd/, causing Multipass to fail accessing it. A patch was proposed to move the certificate to/var/lib/multipass, which is considered a cleaner location, but permission issues persisted there as well. Users tested different versions and permission adjustments, noting that fixing directory permissions under/usr/localhelped in some cases, while others still encountered errors. The issue was ultimately closed with the understanding that directory permissions need to be corrected for Multipass to function correctly. - Number of comments this week: 10

-
microsoft-edge: no active committer in meta.maintainers: This issue addresses the concern that the
microsoft-edgepackage in Nixpkgs currently lacks an active committer among its maintainers, which violates the project’s rules requiring at least one active committer for security-critical, fast-moving packages to ensure timely updates and fixes. The original maintainer has not been responsive to update PRs, prompting discussion about whether the rules should be clarified, how maintenance responsibilities are currently handled, and the challenges posed by a limited number of committers available to maintain such packages.- The comments reveal a consensus that while the package is being updated regularly and merged quickly by various contributors, the designated committer has been largely inactive, leading to concerns about long-term maintenance and responsibility. Participants debated the interpretation of "active committer," the limitations of relying on merge bots, and the broader issue of a small committer pool struggling to keep up with many packages, with the original maintainer expressing willingness to step back if someone else can take over.
- Number of comments this week: 9
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 problem has been consistently reproduced by Hydra, the Nix build farm, and involves missing runtime dependencies such asspnavandosmesa, as well as issues with legacy podofo usage and build configuration flags. - 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 link to the changelog for the new release and confirms that no existing pull request or duplicate issue addresses this update, while also notifying the maintainers to reference this issue in their pull requests.
zed-editor-fhs: mismatch withzed-editorabout provided packages and outputs: This issue reports a discrepancy between thezed-editor-fhsandzed-editorpackages in the Nixpkgs repository, specifically regarding the provided packages and their output. The reporter expects these two related packages to have matching outputs and provided packages, but currently, they do not align, which may cause confusion or functional inconsistencies.- 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 are unable to log in or perform network operations, with error logs indicating missing features or protocols in libcurl due to build-time decisions.
- 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.
