 @nikstur:matrix.org | I needed this commit to make systemd-repart behave nicely in the build sandbox | 18:38:09 |
| @nikstur:matrix.org | Which is after v253 | 18:38:22 |
| @nikstur:matrix.org | https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/1eb86ddde4f36165a99732b53cc97cef1acc3aa7 | 18:39:11 |
| @nikstur:matrix.org | wait... this wasnt after 253 | 18:39:57 |
 @arianvp:matrix.org | it is though no? | 18:41:36 |
| @arianvp:matrix.org | dont see the commit associated with any tags | 18:41:42 |
| @arianvp:matrix.org | No. this is in v253. you're right. Weird | 18:43:09 |
| @arianvp:matrix.org | wondering why it works for you in build sandbox and not for me | 18:43:38 |
| @nikstur:matrix.org | Mhmm I'll investigate this tomorrow | 18:46:40 |
| @arianvp:matrix.org | ill push my changes one sec. | 18:48:09 |
| @nikstur:matrix.org | Ahh it didn't land in 253-stable: https://github.com/systemd/systemd-stable/blob/v253-stable/src/partition/repart.c#L3917 | 18:48:55 |
| @nikstur:matrix.org | even if the commit was from a day before they tagged | 18:49:07 |
| @arianvp:matrix.org | https://github.com/arianvp/server-optimised-nixos/blob/157ef33b278b581b92aad8c3200941139d84f96a/flake.nix | 18:50:05 |
| @arianvp:matrix.org | aha! | 18:50:20 |
| @arianvp:matrix.org | that explains | 18:50:22 |
| @arianvp:matrix.org | i'll ask for a backport | 18:50:33 |
| @nikstur:matrix.org | That would be nice | 18:50:42 |
| @nikstur:matrix.org | But that means they have created the 253-stable branch before they tagged the release in the main repo | 18:51:01 |
| @arianvp:matrix.org | oh that is really strange. | 18:54:15 |
| @arianvp:matrix.org | Sorry false alarm. the commit is not in v253. My git foo was off | 18:59:24 |
| @arianvp:matrix.org | https://github.com/systemd/systemd-stable/pull/295 | 18:59:34 |
| @arianvp:matrix.org | The answer was "This is really stretching the backport policy. But we can see what the others say" | 18:59:50 |
 @elvishjerricco:matrix.org |
This is really stretching the backport policy. But we can see what the others say
Where was this said?
| 19:01:43 |
| @arianvp:matrix.org | To me personally by a systemd dev | 19:02:08 |
| @arianvp:matrix.org | I just noticed nikstur is in the same chat where I asked it lol | 19:03:31 |
| @nikstur:matrix.org | But why is it not in v253? | 19:03:37 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | was that in an irc room or something? I'm honestly still not sure where all the systemd communications go on :P | 19:03:37 |
| @nikstur:matrix.org | Ahh they do more cherry-picking and delaying than I thought they do | 19:05:15 |
| @nikstur:matrix.org | Because the commit was on the 14th Feb and they tagged the release on the 15th | 19:05:42 |
| @nikstur:matrix.org | In reply to @arianvp:matrix.org
Ill make a PR to add the repart definitions file to config.system.build.repartDefitions so that it can be consumed by image builder I thought about that too. The biggest problem is that you likely want to create different partitions in the disk image than you want systemd-repart to create on the final disk (e.g. create a root, A/B partitions etc.) | 19:13:35 |
