LOL no way you beat me to it 😄

2 packages failed to build:
river zls

2 packages built:
clipbuzz zig

There are some breaking changes in new Zig.

[McSinyx]

Yay I'm the maintainer of the only future-proof Zig package! Jokes aside let me link zigtools/zls#438 and riverwm/river#489.

[suhr]

And zls now builds on 0.9.0. Do we need to wait until river is updated?

[McSinyx]

river 0.1.2 with zig 0.9 support has been released. I'm not sure how backward compatible 0.9 is but I suppose it might be easier to upgrade all of them in the same PR.

[suhr]

But river 0.1.2 requires wlroots 0.15.0 which is still in staging.

Maybe there should be two versions of zig in nixpkgs for now.

[suhr]

Here we go, now there are two zigs and this PR can be safely merged.

My absolute favorite thing about NixOS, hands down. (Not being sarcastic)

Suggested change

	river = callPackage ../applications/window-managers/river {
	zig = zig_0_8_1;
	};
	river = callPackage ../applications/window-managers/river { };

river 0.1.2 calls for zig 0.9.0 now, otherwise LGTM

[suhr]

Isn't river 0.1.2 still in staging? And this PR is in master.

[moni-dz]

I decided not to target staging, and wait for the wlroots update to hit master.

[suhr]

Then it should be zig = zig_0_8_1;, so this PR could be merged before the wlroots update hits the master.

[McSinyx]

GH-151234 with wlroots 0.15.0 has been merged, I think Zig 0.8.1 can be dropped now.

[suhr]

It's still 0.14.1 in master.

[McSinyx]

Right, sorry, my mistake.

I wish you all a happy new year!
