vivekanandan_ks | Since 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 | Uhh what | 12:08:46 |

vivekanandan_ks | I mean do we have a common library like builFirefoxPackages or smth | 09:23:27 |
K900 | buildMozillaMach | 09:23:43 |
vcunat | But it doesn't "break down builds into small small pieces" | 09:40:23 |
vcunat | Similarly, 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 |

vcunat | Some 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 | https://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_O | 11:31:19 |
vcunat | I 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 | yeah, I'm not sure either why it still works | 14:05:25 |
vcunat | 🤔 they only revoked a subkey, and we refer a whole key, so gpg deals with this automatically? | 14:08:27 |
vcunat | (and maybe they resigned the old artifacts) | 14:08:46 |
hexa | possibly | 14:08:47 |
nbp | I recall last time there was a grace period where both keys were valid. | 15:50:19 |

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