 Gytis Ivaskevicius | Anyways, what you guys think next steps are with this? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/123467 | 08:13:02 |
| Gytis Ivaskevicius | Should I just start working on POC with additional stage? | 08:13:34 |
 Jonas Chevalier | we don't really have a team that owns the bootstrap phase | 08:20:10 |
| Jonas Chevalier | usually the best thing to do is to present a clean plan with motivation | 08:21:30 |
| Gytis Ivaskevicius | Could you elaborate on that? Here are few questions that come up:
- How should it be shaped? Is issue enough or should it be RFC?
- Does it need to include POC?
| 08:23:33 |

| Jonas Chevalier | I'm still not sure what problem it's solving. I get that the previous GCC version is leaking, but why is it a problem. | 08:28:15 |
| Jonas Chevalier | I know I'm being annoying :) | 08:29:34 |
 raboof | RFC seems overkill in this stage, a GitHub issue might not be noticed - perhaps a discourse topic seem most suitable? I agree a clear motivation (or even better, an assessment of pro's and con's?) is important. | 08:30:19 |

I'm still not sure what problem it's solving. I get that the previous GCC version is leaking, but why is it a problem. Motivation:
Avoid nixpkgs lieing, especially with glibc and to gain latest compiler optimizations. In addition to these two points - this will allow us to pretty much never update bootstrap tools.
Technically nothing major, just super not nice from my point of view

 andi- | Wait, we didn't bump the bootstrap tools to GCC10 when we did the upgrade? Was it simply skipped or did we run into actual problems? | 09:37:23 |
| andi- | In any case didn't we have the bootstrapTarballs jobs to exactly get rid of the manual tasks with bumping them? We have to put the files on a bucket but that is about it, no? | 09:38:48 |
