 ElvishJerricco | I think this is all stuff that's been discussed before, and I feel I have to (lightly) put my foot down and say: The PR is in the state that I, the maintainer, think has considered the options and concluded the reasonable responses. I like not to bikeshed it anymore | 17:05:03 |
| ElvishJerricco | if you all feel differently, I'm very open to that | 17:05:19 |
 emily | I'm fine merging it as is. I do think we shouldn't ship with "Linux <randomnumbers>" and "Linux LTS" because it doesn't help users meaningfully compare them | 17:05:39 |
| emily | but I don't think it's a blocker | 17:05:43 |
| emily | (ship = 25.05) | 17:05:47 |
| emily | FWIW I really don't think we need the rev in there at all | 17:06:06 |
| ElvishJerricco | it's in there | 17:06:18 |
| emily | it is what you'll get on the installed system though | 17:06:23 |
| ElvishJerricco | the redundant version info includes the nixpkgs rev and the number of commits under that rev | 17:06:53 |
| ElvishJerricco | which each entry gets | 17:07:03 |
| emily | I think nobody who can do anything useful with the Nixpkgs commit requires it to be in the bootloader menu or really benefits from that | 17:07:19 |
| ElvishJerricco | that's what I think we could de-rundundant-ize to make room for the LTS kernel's version | 17:07:23 |
| ElvishJerricco | but I think that's a separate thing that I'll do in another PR | 17:07:51 |
| ElvishJerricco | (because I'm less sure how to do it) | 17:08:03 |
| ElvishJerricco | oh I just saw this part; oh gosh I already made the channel scripts PR https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-channel-scripts/pull/77 I was hoping that the release manager of 25.05 would have to change the homepage | 17:35:08 |
| ElvishJerricco | or, stated better, I was hoping they'd be the appropriate person to change the homepage, because I don't know the right way to do that | 17:35:53 |
| emily | it's not too hard | 17:38:51 |
| emily | see https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage/pull/1576 | 17:39:08 |
| emily | you'll just want to mess about in src/content/download/ | 17:39:18 |
| emily | maybe it's theoretically the RM's obligation, I dunno, but I wouldn't count on it happening :P | 17:39:29 |
 hexa | don't count on the RM | 17:39:43 |
| hexa | * don't count on the RM for that | 17:39:54 |
| hexa | it really depends how much they're involved in this process | 17:40:23 |
| ElvishJerricco | Ok so what's the right way to handle the homepage for 25.05 in this case? | 17:42:28 |
| ElvishJerricco | open a PR and get it merged at the right time? | 17:42:40 |
| ElvishJerricco | what is the right time? | 17:42:45 |
 K900 | @ElvishJerricco https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/384567 | 17:43:57 |
| K900 | Also, the combined ISO already has no Plasma 5 option, right? | 17:44:19 |
| hexa | upon release | 17:45:59 |
| hexa | the channel scripts need to be there earlier, so they get copied | 17:46:23 |
