| 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 |

| 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 |

 Matthew Kenigsberg | @joerg:thalheim.io have anything to discuss sync today? | 14:29:04 |
| Mic92 | Matthew Kenigsberg: Not sure. Maybe you can write a release note entry for nix, so we can include it in the next changelog announcement? | 14:32:44 |
| Mic92 | Otherwise, just test the installer on different platforms and base operating systems | 14:36:31 |
| Matthew Kenigsberg | Not completely sure if this is what you're hoping for but we wrote https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/15201 | 15:40:59 |
| Mic92 | Matthew Kenigsberg: Thanks. Only thing I noticed is that you mention that one can install the new installer over the old one. I don't think this actually worked for me. | 15:44:35 |
| Mic92 | I think we can however just link to the manual uninstall section? | 15:44:59 |
| Matthew Kenigsberg | I think it's supposed to work over an old installation. Do you know what failed? | 15:45:36 |
| Mic92 | I think it told me that there was something already installed. | 15:45:53 |
| Mic92 | this was on macOS. | 15:46:03 |
| Mic92 | I'll try on some linux container first. | 15:46:15 |
| cole-h | It will not install over a Rust-based install, correct | 15:46:16 |
| cole-h | That's why we included the caveat of "script-based" | 15:46:37 |
| Mic92 | is it designed to install over the script-based install? | 15:46:42 |
| cole-h | (Curing a script based install, or more accurately: an install without a receipt, is a major feature; if that's broken we should fix it) | 15:47:26 |
