wine:
nix store optimisebreaks wine: This issue describes a problem where runningnix store optimisebreaks Wine on NixOS because it replaces identical placeholder DLL files with hardlinks, causing Wine to confuse distinct DLLs that share the same inode and thus load incorrect accompanying unixlib libraries. This leads to applications, such as certain games, hanging or failing to start properly due to Wine misidentifying and mishandling these DLLs after deduplication.- The comments discuss whether the root cause lies in Wine or Nix, with some users noting they have not experienced this issue despite long-term use of store optimization. It is suggested that the problem stems from Nix’s deduplication creating hardlinks with identical inodes, which conflicts with Wine’s expectation of unique inodes for different DLLs. Possible solutions include changing Nix’s deduplication strategy to use reflinks instead of hardlinks, modifying Wine to differentiate DLLs by content, or restricting deduplication within Wine packages. The issue is recognized as subtle and potentially longstanding, with ongoing investigation and communication with the Wine development community.

Build failure: aws-c-common: This issue reports a build failure for the
aws-c-commonpackage in the Nixpkgs unstable channel, where a specific test (test_memory_usage_maxrss) consistently fails despite multiple rebuild attempts and varying core counts. The failure does not reproduce on Hydra, and the user suspects the test is flaky or affected by system memory conditions, as it fails even on a machine with 128 cores and 384GB of RAM.- Commenters discuss the possibility of a flaky test since the failure is not consistently reproducible, with one user confirming the test never passes on their setup and suggesting disabling it. Another user notes the failure does not occur on a system with 256GB RAM and suspects that the test might be influenced by the maximum available memory leaking into the build environment as an impurity.

-
Build failure: meli: This issue reports a build failure for the "meli" package on the unstable Nixpkgs channel, where the build process crashes with a segmentation fault (SIGSEGV) during testing. The failure is reproducible on Hydra, and the error appears to stem from the meli source or one of its Rust dependencies, with some uncertainty about the project's maintenance status.
- The commenters confirmed the segmentation fault and reproduced the issue, attempted to contact the meli developers via their mailing list but received no response, noted that the project’s source has not been updated recently, and suggested the problem might lie in a Rust package dependency rather than meli itself.
- Number of comments this week: 4
-
Build failure: frigate: This issue reports a build failure for the "frigate" package in the Nixpkgs unstable channel, where the build process crashes with a segmentation fault during the pytest check phase due to a problem involving the onnxruntime Python bindings. The root cause is identified as a protobuf version mismatch triggered by the onnxruntime 1.22.2 update, and the fix is expected to come from a pending update related to TensorFlow 1.20.0 that has not yet been merged.
- The comments reveal that disabling tests leads to a runtime crash with a detailed stack trace pointing to protobuf and onnxruntime internals. It is confirmed that the failure started after the onnxruntime 1.22.2 update and is linked to a protobuf version conflict. The resolution is anticipated to be included in a pending pull request updating TensorFlow, which is currently stalled.
- Number of comments this week: 4
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 occurs on a Linux x86_64 system running NixOS 25.05, suggesting a packaging or build configuration error that prevents successful compilation of the Horizon EDA software. - 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 reference to the changelog for the new release and asserts that no existing pull request or duplicate issue currently addresses this update.
zed-editor-fhs: mismatch withzed-editorabout provided packages and outputs: This issue reports a discrepancy between thezed-editor-fhsandzed-editorpackages 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.- 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.
