abathur | Did we relocate to a new meeting? Saw discussion about temporary weekly above but don't see anything on the nixos calendar | 15:03:42 |
Matthew Kenigsberg | I'm at https://jitsi.lassul.us/nix-installer, I also found two Google meet links... | 15:04:18 |
abathur | hehe | 15:04:32 |
cole-h | I'll be at the jitsi link shortly sorry. Awesomely, my alarm went off but... was on silent or some dumb shit. | 15:05:38 |
abathur | @joerg:thalheim.io: I imagine this hasn't made it to the front burner yet since I don't see activity on the repo, but wanted to check in since we met this morning | 15:47:16 |
Mic92 | Sorry, I had start of January a bit of a heftier cold, from which I recovered, but I slept a bit more lately... which is also why I missed the meeting today. However In good news is I just merged a few changes from Jean-François Roche. I am now doing some terraform changes to also prepare a stable url for the installer. Our current plan for the versioning is that, we will take the first 2 version numbers of the current nix version and have the patch version as the revision number. This is how nix-eval-jobs also currently is versioned. That scheme allows to correlated nix version and installer version more easily. I want to push out a release today. Than do some light testing and see if we can announce public testing on the nix site. | 16:57:11 |

Mic92 | I am adding some more release automation here: https://github.com/NixOS/nix-installer/pull/67 | 13:05:22 |
Mic92 | Some more backports from determinate systems: https://github.com/NixOS/nix-installer/pull/68 | 13:21:57 |
Mic92 | Also looks like dependabot was disabled (probably because it was a forked repo before) | 13:22:22 |
| 23 Jan 2026 |
Mic92 | cole-h: what was the motivation to add --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 to the installation command? Is it really a common problem that old tls versions are used? | 12:48:27 |
cole-h | Pretty much just cargo culted from Rust. | 15:08:49 |

Ivan Mincik (imincik) | Hey, great thanks for all work on a new installer! We would like to start testing it for ngipkgsprojects . Are there any major roadblocks ? Is there anything we can do to help you to speed up first final release ? Thanks. | 08:02:57 |

Mic92 | I am just slow at announcing the testing phase. I don't have any known blockers for the installer itself. I think I mainly need an release note entry here https://github.com/NixOS/nix/tree/master/doc/manual/rl-next or a discourse post. | 12:10:11 |
