  --option binary-caches 'https://cache.nixos.org/ https://nixpkgs-update-cache.nix-community.org/' \

(The nixpkgs-update cache is only trusted for this store-path realization.)
For the cached 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 libxfs https://github.com/r-ryantm/nixpkgs/archive/7f64dcffd0d803f597ee1024bf13bcf70b4d4695.tar.gz

Or:

nix build github:r-ryantm/nixpkgs/7f64dcffd0d803f597ee1024bf13bcf70b4d4695#libxfs

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

ls -la /nix/store/65cim7knsxf2zq9c1zwnawpv2jhcfppc-xfsprogs-6.18.0-dev
ls -la /nix/store/65cim7knsxf2zq9c1zwnawpv2jhcfppc-xfsprogs-6.18.0-dev/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.

nixpkgs-review result

This enables new things by default (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfsprogs-dev.git/tree/doc/CHANGES?id=8b892adad226bb9fef4009c4cba4dbc25b70b011), so we should add a changelog for that IMO.

The main change in defaults is parent pointers are now enabled. These are extended attributes on an inode pointing to the parent inode. This will allow XFS's online repair/health system to work.

upstream says these features are only deemed stable with linux 6.18, so I'd say we should only merge this after #485549.

A relevant release notes entry could look something like this:

xfsprogs was updated to version 6.18, which enables parent pointers and exchange-range by default. Upstream recommends not to use these features with kernels older than 6.18.
