@vivekanandan_ks:matrix.orgvivekanandan_ksSince nix breaks down builds into small small pieces, do we have reused modules or options commonly used in thunderbird, firefox etc?12:06:09
@k900:0upti.meK900Uhh what12:08:46

@vivekanandan_ks:matrix.orgvivekanandan_ks I mean do we have a common library like builFirefoxPackages or smth 09:23:27
@k900:0upti.meK900 buildMozillaMach 09:23:43
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatBut it doesn't "break down builds into small small pieces"09:40:23
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatSimilarly, each chromium/electron has one huge derivation which does all the compiling. (there it's even much worse due to enormous vendoring)09:42:01
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeve changed their display name from Eveeifyeve to eveeifyeve.11:58:50

@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatSome expensive builds get done about 20 times per month (multiplied by platforms and "variants"), e.g. https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixpkgs/unstable/pkgsRocm.librewolf-unwrapped.x86_64-linux/all But I don't really know what to do about that.10:35:42
@hexa:lossy.networkhexahttps://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixpkgs/unstable/pkgsRocm.firefox-unwrapped.x86_64-linux/all?page=2 looks much steadier because we have 8 version bumps in like a month o_O11:31:19
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatI think we do use this one in the updater script. But it still seems to work; I'm not sure why.14:04:41
@hexa:lossy.networkhexayeah, I'm not sure either why it still works14:05:25
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat🤔 they only revoked a subkey, and we refer a whole key, so gpg deals with this automatically?14:08:27
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat(and maybe they resigned the old artifacts)14:08:46
@hexa:lossy.networkhexapossibly14:08:47
@nbp:mozilla.orgnbpI recall last time there was a grace period where both keys were valid.15:50:19

@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatNot surprising that they remain aligned with Firefox's schedule.06:38:36
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat(though I don't think most users of FF/TB are interested in getting new features that fast)06:39:31
