 sterni | the thing is also that the Haskell opentracing implementation seems to be maintained still (had a release last year) and does not actually depend on any of the upstream opentracing packages. | 13:43:49 |
| sterni | so it does not seem to me like it needs to be removed | 13:44:01 |
 eveeifyeve | But the protocol has been deprecated/archived, so it will not work. | 13:48:57 |
| eveeifyeve | * But the protocol has been deprecated/archived for open telemetry, so it will not work. | 13:49:40 |
| eveeifyeve | See https://github.com/opentracing/specification/issues/163 | 13:50:33 |

| sterni | well i mean if you still have an opentracing compatible server and client it will continue to work the same as it used to | 13:55:51 |
| eveeifyeve | Lightstep has been deprecated/archived so that can be removed. I have also opened up an issue upstream: https://github.com/kim/opentracing/issues/55 | 13:56:28 |
| sterni | i agree it doesn't make sense to keep maintaining this stuff, but it's also not like anything bad is going to happen if it's still around | 13:56:45 |
| eveeifyeve | But again in nixpkgs, we should not keep stuff that seems like it will go unmaintained in nixpkgs. | 14:06:02 |
| eveeifyeve | One reason to remove the opentracing stuff is unmaintained, https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0180-broken-package-removal.md#unmaintained-packages | 14:37:36 |
| sterni | that definition doesn't even have anything to do with upstream maintenance | 15:54:51 |

 maralorn | sterni: If we switch to nightly that means going to ghc 9.12, right? | 10:35:06 |
| maralorn | Is that safe in regards to the whole miscompilation thingy? | 10:35:22 |
| maralorn | e.g. do we maybe want to wait for 9.12.4? | 10:35:36 |
| sterni | We patched that in 9.12.3, but we could also wait for 9.12.4 | 10:35:48 |
| sterni | Maybe it is sensible to wait for the next HLS release (which is coming soon right?) and the update | 10:36:47 |
| maralorn | I don’t know. I am not aware of immediate plans. | 10:41:29 |
| maralorn | It seems likely that they would want to make a release after 9.12.4 to provide binaries. | 10:41:48 |
| maralorn | But I also wouldn’t be other than from it being discussed on the hls matrix channel. | 10:44:38 |
| sterni | I just saw new versions of lsp and lsp-types so I assumed that was the reason | 10:44:58 |
| sterni | in any case, most stuff I had on my mind we can do with LTS is done, what remains are things like pandoc 3.9 which are probably best addressed by jumping to nightly | 10:46:42 |
| sterni | Also if anyone is interested in trying out 9.12.4-rc1 https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/500108 | 11:10:27 |
| sterni | alexfmpe: this was on darwin, right? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/497811#issuecomment-4019565283 | 17:34:15 |
 alexfmpe | aaah yeah | 22:10:03 |
| alexfmpe | I forgot that threw off regen script | 22:10:13 |
| eveeifyeve | I experienced this as well in this pr: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/499983#issuecomment-4062916058 | 22:39:11 |
| eveeifyeve | * I forgot to mention this, It's not just that pr is linked it's across globally: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/499983#issuecomment-4062916058 | 22:40:10 |
