🚨 New Blog Post Alert: Kotlin-lsp Packaging Pt 2

First time dealing with prebuilt binaries in Nix. What looked like a simple version bump ended up involving a native library, some patchelf debugging, and pulling in libgcc for libgcc_s.so.1.

autoPatchelfHook from nixpkgs made it fairly straightforward in the end.

Edit: It got merged :)

Any #nixos people here on #fediverse willing to review this pull request hardening the #Jenkins module in #nixpkgs and maybe even willing to merge it? That would be appreciated.

Also, would be great to have one more maintainer for the package and module.

Move #Nextcloud-packages to the new directory structure `pkgs/by-name` in #NixOS #nixpkgs ♻️ https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/498519

Part of my work for @nextcloud and @synyx

#NixOS / #nixpkgs questions: I'm running against nixos-unstable. Home Manager has a "news" feature that tells me when things change in ways I might care about. Does anyone have a cunning way to get notified about changes to the Nixpkgs and NixOS release notes?

I can write my own monitoring script, but if there's a way of doing this that doesn't require reinventing this particular wheel, that'd be preferable!

Does anbody know what files i need to remove except `/var/lib/stalwart-mail` to completely scrub it off the system? I had a test ]nstance running and want to use it prosuctively, but don't want to upgrade from and old version across 3 point releases manually.

Maybe @stalwartlabs ?

Good morning,
does someone have an guide for how I can create an package for NixOS? I'm currently scripting my configuration for the plasma-manager and have seen, that my themes are not packaged.

I'm a beginner at NixOS btw. ;)
