I was trying to set up firefox with home-manager and none of the firefox expressions seem to work on darwin. Doesn't anyone install firefox with nix here?
<LnL>
I think we got the source build working for about 1 channel update at some point before it broke again
<__monty__>
I've heard the source-built firefox takes a considerable performance hit so that's not really a problem for me. But I would like to use home-manager to manage my profile and I think that requires a working -unwrapped firefox. I assume an expression that downloads and extracts a .dmg wouldn't be enough?
<LnL>
I think some people have done that
<LnL>
but in general I don't see much benefit in trying to deal with gui apps in nix
<__monty__>
I'd like to get rid of homebrew completely : /
<LnL>
I wonder how tightly coupled brew-cask is, it's mostly something separate no?
<evelyn>
It is not in the default brew, when you invoke it for the first time a module is downloaded I think?
<qyliss>
cask depends on brew but the codebases are largely separate
<qyliss>
it was developed independently and then later merged in
<qyliss>
although when i was last involved a couple of years ago, they were starting to merge the codebases
<qyliss>
so it might be more integrated now
<LnL>
right
<LnL>
on the other hand, could be interesting to see how far you can get by implementing builders for all it's actions that honour a prefix

Direnv has stopped acting up with SIGILL crashes since updating but I still don't have go-1.14.1 in my store which I thought would be the fix 🤔
<__monty__>
Are there man pages for nix-darwin? Like `man configuration.nix` and `man home-configuration.nix`?
<LnL>
go 1.14.1 not being installed doesn't mean direnv wasn't built with it
<evelyn>
I have those manpages
<LnL>
and yes man configuration.nix was added quite a while ago
<__monty__>
Oh, duh. Didn't realize it might be under the same name >.<
<__monty__>
Wonder why I have go-1.14 in my store then though.
<Gaelan>
__monty__ if you're curious: nix store --query --referrers /nix/store/[wherever go-1.14 is]
