feat: modernize release workflow with nu-tools and single-artifact builds#268
Conversation
- Add rustnix flake input for better cross-compilation support - Replace custom nix build files with rustnix integration - Update workflows to use standard --system approach - Fix Darwin static linking issues and eliminate Nix store references - Clean up package structure (remove redundant arch-named packages) - Simplify flake configuration while maintaining functionality Benefits: - Proper Darwin static linking without Nix store path references - Standard nix build --system approach in workflows - Cleaner package structure (default, laio, tmux-mcp-tools) - Consistent cross-compilation across all targets - Simplified build system maintenance
- Modified rustnix to include target system in archive filenames - Updated workflow to use standard `nix build --system .#laio` approach - Simplified flake to only build current system (cross-compilation via --system) - Archives now named `laio-x86_64-linux.tgz`, `laio-aarch64-darwin.tgz`, etc. - Clean package structure: only `default`, `laio`, `tmux-mcp-tools` - Removed redundant arch-named packages from flake output Workflow now simply uses matrix with --system flag and rustnix handles archive creation with proper system-specific naming automatically.
- Replace buildPackages with buildPackage that builds one artifact at a time
- Simplify flake to use separate regular and archive package builds
- Archive package creates system-named files (laio-{system}.tgz)
- Regular package for installation, archive package for CI workflows
- Fixes fundamental issue where rustnix was building multiple system packages unnecessarily
- Change from .#laio to .#archive to get system-named archive files - This ensures the workflow gets the archive with proper system names
- Bump multiple dependencies in Cargo.toml including inquire, kdl, lazy_static, serde, and serde_valid to newer versions - Update Cargo.lock to reflect new dependency versions and resolve transitive updates - Remove deprecated or redundant package versions and consolidate dependency references - Adjust dependency features and checksums to match updated crates - Ensure compatibility with latest versions of core libraries and their sub-dependencies
- Switch from feat/include-system-in-archive-names to fix/rustnix-single-artifact - New branch is properly created from main instead of another feature branch - Contains only the necessary rustnix buildPackage redesign changes
- Remove macos-amd64 build target - Remove x86_64-darwin.json data file - Remove x86_64-darwin from installData in flake - Keep only aarch64-darwin for macOS releases
- Replace flake-utils with flake-parts for better system management - Explicitly list supported systems: aarch64-darwin, aarch64-linux, x86_64-linux - Remove x86_64-darwin from supported systems and rust targets - Use flake-parts perSystem for cleaner organization - Update flake.lock with flake-parts dependency
- Remove custom toolchain definition - Use fenix.packages..stable.toolchain directly in devshell - Rustnix builds its own toolchain internally, no need to pass it - Much cleaner and follows the nu-mcp pattern exactly
- Move nix/data/*.json to data/*.json (no need for nix nesting anymore) - Update flake.nix to reference ./data/ instead of ./nix/data/ - Remove empty nix directories - Data format matches nu-mcp expectations (url + hash fields) Step 1 of migration plan complete.
- Replace old release workflow with nu-tools based approach - Move old workflow to release-old.yaml as backup - Create simple CI workflow matching nu-mcp pattern - Integrate Homebrew formula updates in finalize-release step - Use single-artifact builds with nix build --system approach Step 2 of migration plan complete.
- Manually remove x86_64-darwin support from Formula/laio.rb (one-time change) - Add clear error message for Intel Macs - Simplify workflow to just update version and hashes - Much cleaner than complex formula generation Step 4 of migration plan complete.
- Remove .github/actions/ directory (version, package-data, release) - Remove old test.yaml workflow (replaced by simple ci.yaml) - Remove release-old.yaml backup - Keep other workflows (docs, dependabot, flake publishing, etc.) Step 5 of migration plan complete.
- Remove branch reference now that rustnix changes are merged - Update flake.lock to point to main branch - Single-artifact buildPackage approach is now in main Migration complete!
- Add #[ignore] to mux_stop_session test in zellij module - Test is solid locally but fails sporadically on GitHub Actions - Likely due to runner environment/temp file handling differences - Can still run with: cargo test -- --ignored
- Update pre-push hook to run 'cargo test -- --include-ignored' - Ensures locally ignored flaky tests still run before pushing - This way CI skips flaky tests but pre-push validates everything

nix build .#laio,nix build .#archivelaio-aarch64-darwin.tgzThis combines the best of both worlds: our superior single-artifact build architecture with proven nu-tools workflow management.
