Negative term in mkTuple

[michzappa]

Using dfconf2nix as found in https://gvolpe.com/blog/gnome3-on-nixos/ (excellent guide thank you), it gave a .nix file which contains a syntax error in mkTuple.

If either of the two numbers is negative, it is an "unexpected '-'" to the syntax checker of Nix. This came up in the "org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/color/night-light-last-coordinates" section of the dconf.settings.

I made it a string ("-71.xxxx" instead of -71.xxxx) and there is no longer a syntax error but I don't know if it is still performing correctly.

Have you seen this before?

Thank you

This appears to only be an issue with the version from nix-env. I added it as a system package and it is no longer occurring. Thank you for this program.

This is still present in v0.0.8. The following input:

[org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/color]
night-light-last-coordinates=(43.684199280057591, -79.347200000000001)
