@dotlambda Do you think you can have a look at this?

[erictapen]

Thanks for the review. I'll squash later to keep the commit messages for now.

@ofborg build canaille canaille.passthru.tests

[erictapen]

I just rebased and squashed. Weirdly I couldn't reproduce the build failure and also in the current version it builds on my machine.

FYI Canaille 0.0.56 has been released.

• It uses uv+hatchling instead of poetry.
• It adds a postgresql extra which rely on sqlalchemy[postgresql].

[erictapen]

Updated to 0.0.56, should be ready for review again!

Thank you all for your hard work!

[erictapen]

Well thanks for your feedback on it :)

Hi Kerstin @erictapen ! It happens that providing a nix package for Canaille is part of a list of tasks sponsored by NLNet. Since you've done it, they'll need you to reach out to them (I'll send you their contact by email) so you can work out on getting the payment that was routed to this task, they will need your name and address.

Have a nice day !

@funelie thanks, this is taken care of, we organise this through Summer of Nix.

Hi there.

Just as a curiosity to @funelie, how does these sponsorships get awarded? This PR's nix package is primarily based on my work in another repository https://github.com/soupglasses/phenix/blob/main/nixos/packages/servers/canaille/default.nix

While the NixOS test and NixOS module are new, and its great to get canaille upstream, it feels a bit disappointing that someone gets the NLNet money for a package I created based on copyright infringement (MIT requires the copyright notice to be included in substantial copies of the code). This can also be further seen in the way dependencies are fetched, to the code being character by character the same.

Example 1: https://github.com/soupglasses/phenix/blob/14dd7b40b3194214d312c8b3d9a89ff3a3230f91/nixos/packages/servers/canaille/default.nix#L73-L79

Hi @soupglasses, I will allow myself to answer you in place of @funelie who is not available at the moment. I am sorry to hear of your disappointment and I understand your situation. Unfortunately, in your case, I can only advise you to contact NLnet for all your questions. https://nlnet.nl/

Indeed, they are the ones who define and manage this funding. In addition, it seems that this functionality has already given rise to a payment. Since redistribution is no longer relevant, our role ends here.

I sincerely hope that you will receive a satisfactory response from NLnet.

Kind regards.
