Problem

Rust 1.80 unfortunately broke a lot of packages, including Vector. Currently it's not possible to build Vector on NixOS due to this; the issue for packages broken by Rust 1.80 is tracked here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/332957.

I can see that PR #20949 to update Vector to Rust 1.80 is underway, but I couldn't find any issues mentioning, that the Nixpkgs build is currently broken, so I wanted to make sure that you were aware of the issue downstream since your docs has a section on installing Vector on NixOS, which currently doesn't work.

Thanks for this note @Scandiravian . The nixos packages are actually maintained by the community. cc/ @jpds for awareness since you've been doing the most work on that lately :) It sounds like the path forward is just to finish the upgrade to Rust 1.80?

Thanks for your reply; sorry if I didn't make it clear, that I was aware of the nixpkg being community maintained. Since a config for NixOS is in the docs for Vector, I thought it would be important for you to know that the downstream build that the docs depend on is broken. Hope that clears things up a bit :blush:

I appreciate that you're prioritizing the update to 1.80, since it's difficult to fix the build downstream. Thanks again for taking the time to reply to the ticket :+1:

Fixed in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/7d9c3fd5ccff13a2799e5679df50e87939318cb9 and also https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/337564

Thanks @jpds !

I'll close this out, but we are still working on upgrading the version of Rust used to 1.80 too.
