For the Cachix download to work, your user must be in the trusted-users list or you can use sudo since root is effectively trusted.

Or, build yourself:

nix-build -A qrcode https://github.com/r-ryantm/nixpkgs/archive/c20fa33d8b48bb1fb28e82ce8cb9c842e7b2a522.tar.gz

nix build github:r-ryantm/nixpkgs/c20fa33d8b48bb1fb28e82ce8cb9c842e7b2a522#qrcode

After you've downloaded or built it, look at the files and if there are any, run the binaries:

ls -la /nix/store/5gg0pknd8l86pyfi1kys26kh416rvaxp-qrcode-0-unstable-2024-07-18
ls -la /nix/store/5gg0pknd8l86pyfi1kys26kh416rvaxp-qrcode-0-unstable-2024-07-18/bin

Pre-merge build results

We have automatically built all packages that will get rebuilt due to
this change.

This gives evidence on whether the upgrade will break dependent packages.
Note sometimes packages show up as failed to build independent of the
change, simply because they are already broken on the target branch.

I think it's broken

It's, in my machine, generating a qrcode with inverted colors

Fix: qsantos/qrcode#8

[7c6f434c]

I guess the question is whether «terminal» means terminal emulator with light or dark background? I mostly encounter default-light-background ones, and there the QR code is in the black-on-white…

(In any case I think we currently have a version with the same behaviour before and after the update)

I added the feature so it seems that it's my fault. Maybe that could be a flag that allow the user to invert the colors. At first I am assuming that everyone is using dark terminals because out of the box AFAIK it's true with everything but xterm.

And who uses xterm by option lol

[7c6f434c]

Well, it is also default for *rxvt and mlterm. And light mode with brightness way down is the way to go! (At least if text on paper is also a thing that happens from time to time)

Inversion switch would be nice, of course (upstream).
