From 1589910f1319c1806bbfaf47c73a80cbcee8fafb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: sommerfeld Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 12:05:10 +0100 Subject: fix(remote-dev): use deadsnakes python3.11 instead of nix for Mason MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Nix's python rejects manylinux wheels by design (its libc is patched), which forced pip in Mason's per-pkg venvs to compile nodejs-wheel-binaries (pulled in by basedpyright) from source. That source build then failed on Ubuntu 20.04's gcc 9.4 — Node 24 requires C++20 (g++ >= 12.2.0). Replace the nix python311-versioned-only derivation with an Ubuntu-native python3.11 from the deadsnakes PPA. It satisfies Mason's >=3.10 version requirement, accepts manylinux wheels, and the versioned binary name leaves /usr/bin/python3 untouched (leaf-tools policy preserved). --- remote-dev/README.md | 20 +++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) (limited to 'remote-dev/README.md') diff --git a/remote-dev/README.md b/remote-dev/README.md index bdb81ca..d38b082 100644 --- a/remote-dev/README.md +++ b/remote-dev/README.md @@ -134,13 +134,19 @@ git log --show-signature -1 - **Network for first nvim launch**: `vim.pack.add` fetches plugins from GitHub on first start.
