 whispers [& it/fae] | fwiw, tjr said this in #tor-browser-dev so this probably applies across the board for releases: "to save from ephemeral-ness: there will be a 140.10.1 (Apr 28) and a 140.10.2 (May 7) and probably a 140.10.3 (pwn2own, May 16ish?)" | 15:59:16 |

| hexa | https://developer.chrome.com/blog/chrome-two-week-release | 11:54:42 |
| hexa | google going for a two week release cycle for major releases | 11:54:53 |
| hexa | rip our maintainers | 11:54:59 |
 vcunat | A normal laptop takes like a week to build chromium? 😅 | 11:59:14 |
| hexa | wouldn't rule out multiple days at least | 11:59:40 |
| hexa | on proper hardware it's a two hour build | 11:59:58 |
| vcunat | Even Hydra's aarch64-linux builder commonly takes half a day or a full day. | 12:00:10 |
| vcunat | * Even Hydra's aarch64-linux builder commonly takes half a day or a full ~24h. | 12:00:15 |
| hexa | but I don't think we're doing PGO yet | 12:00:17 |
| hexa | chromium tends to need lots of compute for the whole time it builds | 12:01:00 |
| vcunat | It was kind-of nice that Chrom* and Firefox kept aligned at almost-same major version numbers. For a few years was it? | 12:01:49 |
| hexa | this should have direct implications for onboarding of new browsers into nixpkgs | 12:01:57 |
| hexa | well, first chromium raced, then firefox raced | 12:02:17 |

| hexa | what's wrong with build time on hydra btw | 12:03:25 |
| hexa | feels like it queues the build without noticing it has it cached and then finishes immediately | 12:03:57 |
| vcunat | You need to look at the unwrapped build? | 12:05:22 |
| vcunat | Except that... those do not have a separate job on Hydra. (for chromium*) | 12:06:57 |
| vcunat | But you can look individually, e.g. at https://hydra.nixos.org/build/327781061#tabs-buildsteps | 12:07:28 |
| vcunat | (if you're lucky and it wasn't cached from a different job) | 12:08:08 |
| vcunat | * (if you're lucky and that big step wasn't cached from a different job) | 12:08:16 |
| whispers [& it/fae] | tbh they've been doing near-weekly releases at this point anyway… i have no idea how they keep up. it's very impressive | 12:09:18 |
| hexa | talked to emily lange just yesterday and my impression was that major bringups are quite a bit more work than the regular security releases | 12:09:57 |
| whispers [& it/fae] | ah interesting | 12:10:08 |
| hexa | I mean, that 's simplar to firefox patch releases | 12:10:10 |
| hexa | Redacted or Malformed Event | 12:10:15 |
| hexa | but major firefox releases only rarely cause issues | 12:10:29 |
