Hi @hswong3i. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a containers member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

You need to add a Signed-off-by line to your commit - git commit --amend -s --no-edit should work

I have no expertise in Nix and cannot review.

Could simply try with this:

curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
git clone https://github.com/alvistack/libpod.git
cd libpod
git checkout v1.9-linux-amd64
nix build -f nix/
./result-bin/bin/podman --version
ls -lah ./result-bin/bin/podman
ldd ./result-bin/bin/podman
file ./result-bin/bin/podman

Example result:

$ ./result-bin/bin/podman --version
podman version 1.9.4-dev

$ ls -lah ./result-bin/bin/podman

$ ldd ./result-bin/bin/podman
