 emily | (for my part the reason is just "context switching to even a trivial task is easy for any given individual task but if I don't deliberately apply inertia to ones that don't seem like a fantastic idea to do immediately then bad things result") | 20:52:37 |
| emily | (this does not apply to giving pointers on what needs doing but that does require someone willing to put follow-up at the top of their own stack :p ) | 20:53:07 |
| emily | it is annoying having to keep pkg-config going | 20:53:44 |
| emily | I'm guessing the hook will probably give us unexpected fun when we do switch just on an unknown unknowns basis | 20:54:11 |
 Grimmauld (any/all) | we could already run one staging with the hook and then do the actual switch after | 20:55:21 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | but that might be a dumb idea | 20:55:32 |
| emily | that won't help unless we revert our hack patch | 20:55:41 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | ah right | 20:55:48 |
| emily | which will result in equivalent amounts of fun | 20:55:48 |
| emily | I expect it will be fine though | 20:56:08 |
| emily | just means it may not be a zero effort cycle | 20:56:23 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | so whats the plan, bully some poor unsuspecting yet pushy contributor (e.g. me) into writing that "simple" patch, and go ahead with all at once? | 20:56:44 |
 Alyssa Ross | SGTM | 20:57:02 |
| emily | that seems ideal yes :P | 20:57:04 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | dangit | 20:57:11 |
| emily | sending the patch upstream will sanity check anyway | 20:57:15 |
| emily | ideally we wait for them to apply it and then switch | 20:57:24 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | we also do have cmake 4, pkgconf+cmake sounds like a very fun cycle | 20:57:43 |
| Alyssa Ross | We could do CMake first given pkgconf will take time | 20:58:13 |
| emily | CMake and obliterating the bad CMake hook are immediately doable I think | 21:00:05 |
| emily | there's like one blocking issue with the CMake build itself and then it's just jobset tedium | 21:00:29 |
| emily | GCC 15 also probably doable | 21:01:01 |
| emily | LLVM 20 I know Randy is working on as part of his big branch | 21:01:20 |
| emily | btw pkgconf also breaks Meson tests on Darwin and I have no idea why | 21:02:33 |
| emily | we can probably just disable them but it scares me a little | 21:02:43 |
