Note the "Details" link next to the failing "eval-package-list" check :) |
|
@grahamc Thanks! Any idea why the "Details" link only appears sometimes? |
The Iosevka builder requires Node 8, which is not supported by node2nix yet; the included package-lock.json is processed in Nix to install the required dependencies offline.

It will post a detail link for all but the overarching one. If one fails
though, it doesn’t attempt the remainder (as it is now. I could change
this) and the ones run with a prior version of the checker.

Note that this makes Iosevka unavaible on aarch64 Linux and Darwin because now it depends on otfcc which only supports x86/64 Linux. |
This is a mistake; otfcc should work on any platform. |
|
I've enabled building Iosevka on Darwin in 6a23fb1...f557844 . Supporting aarch64 involves an additional challenge: otfcc/premake5.lua has no provisions for this architecture. (I'm not going to take it upon myself.) |
This would probably be simple... except that my aarch64 board is currently out of commission. I will re-add the fetch-only expression for platforms without otfcc. |
The former fetch-only expression is re-added as iosevka-bin to support platforms without otfcc where Iosevka cannot be built. See also: NixOS#31835
As of Iosevka 3.7.0, otfcc is no longer used. I haven't checked if the situation has changed since [2017] but this should make Iosevka available on aarch64-linux and *-darwin. [2017]: NixOS#31835 (comment)

Motivation
Iosevka has many options to build custom font sets, but it must be built from source.
Based on #27573, but updated to build with Node 8 and support custom font sets.
Testing
