bespokesynth: update to latest commit #242698

PowerUser64 · 2023-07-10T19:57:26Z

Description of changes

The developer of bespoke synth unfortunately doesn't have much time to devote to creating version number releases for the project, so the current "stable" release has gone untouched for quite some time. Currently, the latest commit/nightly release is far more stable and featureful than the current stable release. This PR updates the BespokeSynth package to the latest commit.

Nice, thanks for helping us with this! Do you think you could also take this opportunity to fix the way we patch the program, by directly using rpath instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH as we were discussing here, in order to provide a smoother experience for devs? Should be just a matter of removing:

--prefix LD_LIBRARY_PATH : '${lib.makeLibraryPath [
          libXrandr
          libXinerama
          libXcursor
          libXScrnSaver
        ]}

and adding:

NIX_LDFLAGS = "-rpath ${lib.makeLibraryPath (with xorg; [ libX11 libXrandr libXinerama libXext libXcursor libXScrnSaver ])} $NIX_LDFLAGS";
dontPatchELF = true; # needed or nix will try to optimize the binary by removing "useless" rpath

Thanks!

Breaks Darwin builds as-is.

PowerUser64 · 2023-07-10T20:56:05Z

It seems that trying to pass through NIX_LDFLAGS in the same way we were doing in the flake causes it to fail compiling a basic test program because the variable isn't expanded. I've gone removed $NIX_LDFLAGS from the end of the NIX_LDFLAGS = ... line.

OPNA2608

For fixing Darwin support, please add MetalKit to the Darwin-specific buildInputs and, in pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix, change

  bespokesynth = callPackage ../applications/audio/bespokesynth {
    inherit (darwin.apple_sdk.frameworks) Accelerate Cocoa WebKit CoreServices CoreAudioKit IOBluetooth;
  };

to

  bespokesynth = darwin.apple_sdk_11_0.callPackage ../applications/audio/bespokesynth {
    inherit (darwin.apple_sdk_11_0.frameworks) Accelerate Cocoa WebKit CoreServices CoreAudioKit IOBluetooth MetalKit;
  };

@OPNA2608 does this do it?

tobiasBora · 2023-07-10T23:48:20Z

I can confirm that it works for what I tested on NixOs! (VST version etc), good for me if it also works on MacOs!

PowerUser64 · 2023-07-11T06:20:53Z

Quick question, I'm going to try to keep this up-to-date as much as possible. I don't want you all to hate me because I'm creating/updating PR's every time there's a new bespoke nightly. Should I try to limit PR's to one per week or something? How should we handle this?

For reference, bespoke nightly comes out about one per commit usually. This can as often as anywhere from one every two weeks or (especially recently), one or more per day. I always run the latest version with overrideAttrs in my system config, so I should always know whether it's broken on Linux at least.

tobiasBora · 2023-07-11T09:25:44Z

@PowerUser64 Well, I am not sure if nixpkgs is well suited for nightly versions (but great to see that this project is getting much attention). Since the review process can be quite long and energy consuming (we need to test across several systems like MacOs to be sure there is no breakage, find a nix maintainer to merge it, wait for hydra to build it etc…) I would say that adding one release per day, or even one per month for a basic software is too much. Every 3 months is maybe more reasonable, unless a really important bug/security issue is fixed (but you might ask for confirmation to more experienced users, e.g. in matrix or discourse).

If you want to deal with nightly build, I would rather advice you create your own repository (It is what people are doing for instance emacs) and to integrate it into NUR. You might want to use something like cachix if you want others to be able to use you pre-built binaries.

tobiasBora · 2023-07-11T17:54:50Z

Great thanks, looks good to me!

PowerUser64 · 2023-07-11T18:00:34Z

Good to know. I'll try and limit updates to about one per 3 months, or when an official version number release comes out. There's supposedly going to be a major version update in the next few weeks, so I will probably do one then, and then who knows when the next official update will be.

wackbyte · 2023-07-14T02:26:23Z

v1.2.0 has just released :)

PowerUser64 · 2023-07-14T02:45:52Z

Woohoo! New commit coming in hot!

luzpaz · 2023-08-24T22:34:17Z

Any progress here ?

OPNA2608

Ah sorry, seems I didn't review this too well…

In addition to the suggestion, can you make the commit title follow the commit conventions? It should be:

bespokesynth: 1.1.0 -> 1.2.0

…if you still only want to bump to the next stable version, instead of an unstable commit.

Once it LGTM this time, I'll try to find someone with merge permissions to get this in.

+    rev = "71134ce432dd15ae773cd49ac7c6e436d37e8a46";
+    hash = "sha256-pEifqbzJYI0EnGRQL0a0hzNkUw4+ZE6mrMGUVngzTZY=";


I didn't pick up on the fact that when you force-pushed from bda87f7 to 179c1e2 , you went back to using an unstable commit without marking the version as such.

BespokeSynth/BespokeSynth@71134ce != https://github.com/BespokeSynth/BespokeSynth/releases/tag/v1.2.0 .

If this is still supposed to be version = "1.2.0" then please revert the rev line to the format that was used before and change hash to what the actual hash of that version is:

Suggested change

rev = "71134ce432dd15ae773cd49ac7c6e436d37e8a46";

hash = "sha256-pEifqbzJYI0EnGRQL0a0hzNkUw4+ZE6mrMGUVngzTZY=";

rev = "v${version}";

hash = "sha256-baBZBRK8xbtnj/MJaTA036exLjvvucfrsk/Ue5oiG7c=";

Sorry, I should have left a comment saying I did so. I updated to the latest commit because I learned the stable version had broken jedi functionality (python autocomplete) on MacOS. Since I don't know how long it was going to be until the next release (or opportunity to update this package), I went ahead and updated to the latest commit (which fixed this). I skipped updating the version number because I saw it as basically being a hotfix to v1.2.0, but I should probably mark it as unstable. Should I mark it as v1.2.0-unstable or would the date of the commit be better?

It seems like most of the packages opted for v1.2.0+unstable=2023-07-20. I found 22 packages with this pattern, and it seems to be the version that complies the most with semantic versioning and its buildmetadata (otherwise, a dash indicates a pre-release, so happening before 1.2):

pkgs/tools/misc/tty-clock/default.nix 5: version = "2.3+unstable=2021-04-07"; pkgs/tools/misc/dialogbox/default.nix 11: version = "1.0+unstable=2020-11-16"; pkgs/applications/emulators/bsnes/higan/default.nix 25: version = "115+unstable=2021-08-18"; pkgs/applications/emulators/emu2/default.nix 8: version = "0.pre+unstable=2021-09-22"; pkgs/applications/graphics/gimp/plugins/default.nix 225: version = "2.2+unstable=2021-12-03"; pkgs/applications/graphics/inkscape/extensions/applytransforms/default.nix 9: version = "0.pre+unstable=2021-05-11"; pkgs/applications/terminal-emulators/st/siduck76-st.nix 15: version = "0.pre+unstable=2021-08-20"; pkgs/applications/terminal-emulators/st/lukesmithxyz-st/default.nix 15: version = "0.pre+unstable=2021-08-10"; …

I learned the stable version had broken jedi functionality (python autocomplete) on MacOS

If it's easy to figure out which commits fixed this, then you could pull them in and apply them onto 1.2.0:

patches = [ # Fixes jedi functionality on Darwin # Remove when version > 1.2.0 (fetchpatch { url = "https://github.com/BespokeSynth/bespokesynth/commit/whatevercommitfixesthis.patch"; hash = "sha256-whateverhashisneededhere="; }) ];

I skipped updating the version number because I saw it as basically being a hotfix to v1.2.0, but I should probably mark it as unstable

Unless it's an actual release with a tag (or in some other form actually treated by upstream as a release, with or without tag), it should be treated as an unstable commit instead of a release. For pulling in a fix into a release, see above.

Should I mark it as v1.2.0-unstable or would the date of the commit be better?

The above would be preferable IMO. If you want to ditch the applying-patches way, then back to what the manual says unstable versions should use: unstable-<YYYY-MM-DD of commit>

It seems like most of the packages opted for v1.2.0+unstable=2023-07-20

This versioning pattern is from a not-yet-accepted RFC, dates used in your examples are from ~ when the RFC was first opened. And AFAICT they don't align with the format the RFC currently suggests to use: 3.0:date=2008-12-04.

I'd prefer to wait until any consensus is reached on that RFC & it gets accepted before using its pattern, as right now it conflicts with what the manual has to say on this.

Okay! When I get the chance, I'll update the version to unstable-2023-08-17 and the commit hash to c6b141 (slightly behind main). I think that's a good stable stopping place because most things added after it are features.
Does this sound good?

I'll also ask awwbees about making that into v1.2.1, as I think that would be a good place for a new version.

PowerUser64 · 2023-08-26T13:20:42Z

Okay, I've changed the version to unstable-2023-08-17 and updated to the commit I said I was going to update to (BespokeSynth/BespokeSynth@c6b1410).
