I've tried some time ago: luc65r@1091e64, but I didn't succeed.
I might try again now that I know more about Nix.

Hello, I'm a bot and I thank you in the name of the community for opening this issue.

To help our human contributors focus on the most-relevant reports, I check up on old issues to see if they're still relevant. This issue has had no activity for 180 days, and so I marked it as stale, but you can rest assured it will never be closed by a non-human.

The community would appreciate your effort in checking if the issue is still valid. If it isn't, please close it.

If the issue persists, and you'd like to remove the stale label, you simply need to leave a comment. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". If you'd like it to get more attention, you can ask for help by searching for maintainers and people that previously touched related code and @ mention them in a comment. You can use Git blame or GitHub's web interface on the relevant files to find them.

Lastly, you can always ask for help at our Discourse Forum or at #nixos' IRC channel.

I would like to see this re-added into NixOS.

@myclevorname I threw this together if you want to use it for now.

Strangely enough all the library packages for it are available but the program itself is not?

libglade had been removed from Nixpkgs partially due to its dependency on Python 2. The libti* dependencies stayed because they are not affected by that change, despite tilp2 getting dropped. The workaround on my system uses the 21.11 channel, the last to contain it. If you wanted it re-added into Nixpkgs, you would have to rewrite a large portion of TILP to not use libglade.

libti*/gfm/tilp upstream here. TILP was rewritten to use GTK+Builder over a decade ago :)

You might be mixing up TILP/glade with:

  • the much smaller GFM, which keeps using libglade because nobody spent time converting it to GTK+Builder or rewriting it to use Qt;
  • the fact that old versions of the Windows installer for TILP depended on the gladewin32 GTK+ runtime flavor;
  • the fact that although the code was largely ported to GTK+3 years ago, the primary version of GTK+ used by TILP (on the maintainer side) remains GTK+2, because Windows and questionable deployment practices (bundling DLLs !) advised by GTK+, despite bundled DLLs historically being a major source of TILP user and developer pain.
