The new docker image: "-X main.DefaultBuildkitdImage=docker.io/earthbuild/buildkitd:v${version}"
lacks 0.8.15 version and 0.8.17 is still in a pre-release state. This PR should probably wait until 0.8.17 is released.

This should be a warnAlias if we even provide compatible symlinks.

official project does and lines 49,50 of the package.nix do symlink, so just needs a warnAlias instead of throw, yes;)

+  # when true, just one subPackage is built even though two are listed
+  __structuredAttrs = false;


does anyone have any idea how to solve this? nixpkgs-vet requires setting this to true, but once I do that, only the first subPackage from the list is built 🤔

I looked into it, didn't find concrete suggestions of what to do about it unfortunately, don't understand it myself

@Likivik @SuperSandro2000 can you please look here? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/463269/changes#diff-b838f8df5dbf32422669fcffd06d2b4c57a05c2475dd09216f77d4583028ced0R23

Three options:

my misunderstanding of the go docs

go docs are outdated

a bug in go builder

Any suggestions what do we do? The current version works, but it is a workaround.

How goes?

gilescope · 2026-05-26T08:09:31Z

Tried it locally and it installed fine for me on my nixos box.

@SuperSandro2000 could we please have a review?
