In other news, Bisq 2 is now included in the upcoming NixOS 24.11 release.

Bisq 1 is also include, but it doesn't work. I submitted a PR to remove it for the 25.05 release.

Today's news:

1. Bisq 2 is in Nixpkgs (master branch). It could potentially end up in the 24.11 release.

2. You may get a confusing alert saying that Bisq 2.1.2 is required, even when you have said version of Bisq. See https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq2/issues/3002

Here we go again.

Another Bisq 2 PR: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/356043

No luck with QR code scanning. It will have to remain broken.

Since Bisq 2 got kicked out of Nixpkgs moments after it was merged, I'm going to wait until after the Nov. stable release to create a new pull request.

To be clear, Bisq 2 was removed due to contention with the staging-next branch being merged into the master branch, so it wasn't a malicious act. It was just bad timing on my part.

It does give me some time to look into getting the QR code scanning to work.

What a gloriously red map!

For some reason, this reminds me of Ayn Rand's novel "Anthem".

Yep.

I got lost 6 years ago.

Now I know where I'm going.

Damn it! Now "that song" is in my head!

Noooooooo!

I think that it's due to a refusal to learn. In short, laziness.

Well, that didn't last long.

LOLz

Today, Bisq 2 was added to Nixpkgs.

It's so fresh it hasn't even hit the unstable branch yet.

Don't forget that classic Bisq isn't going to be buildable from Nixpkgs, unless you pin Nixpkgs. See https://github.com/emmanuelrosa/bisq-for-nixos

I still plan to nuke the package after the November stable release; It doesn't make sense to keep an unbuildable package in Nixpkgs.

The Mazda MX5 is my absolute favorite car. Without question. But the most annoying thing about the new models is the damn screen.

I don't mean that in the functional sense. It's just that a screen is the last thing I want to see while driving.

Every time I see it I feel like yanking it out.

I'd like to see powerful people rather than powerful nations.

I think that with a little push, y'all can help get my Bisq 2 NixOS package over the finish line so that it gets merged prior to the NixOS November stable release.

Especially considering that it's easy to do :)

First, run: nix run github:emmanuelrosa/nixpkgs/bisq2#bisq2

That will grab the package from my PR, build it, and run it.

If you have a HiDPI display, then use this instead:

nix shell github:emmanuelrosa/nixpkgs/bisq2#bisq2

bisq2-hidpi

Then, go ahead a play with Bisq 2 for a bit to see that it works. Note: QR code scanning is unavailable at this time.

Finally, go to the PR at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/347160 and add a comment stating that you tested the package, and then explain the results: Did it work or not?

The package code has already been reviewed and I addressed all of the concerns. What's needed is to have users report that it works; Those who merge code in Nixpkgs don't usually know how to confirm whether a package works or not since they don't use the software themselves.

Let's make this happen, y'all.

You're welcome :)

Interesting times.

The latest Bisq 2 is in my Nix flake: nix run github:emmanuelrosa/erosanix#bisq2

I also updated the Nixpkgs PR: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/347160

Bisq 2 just keeps on improving.
