[Nix-dev] Please test NixOS/nixpkgs.git on darwin

[Shea Levy]

Hi all,

For a while now, there has been a lot of work to improve darwin support on the master branch of joelteon’s nixpkgs fork. With the latest staging merge, the core of that work is now on upstream master. The rest of the changes available on joelteon’s fork are very disparate, and it is not clear whether or why they are all needed, so I’d like to request that those who have been working off of the fork test their setups against upstream now. If something is still not working, please at least open an issue, but if you can find the relevant fix on the fork and port it as a PR that would be greatly appreciated.

Hopefully we can soon move on from that fork entirely and have further changes (including the ongoing pure-darwin work) done directly against upstream master.

Thanks,
Shea
