 sterni | I feel like it’s possible yeah, especially since we can still fix stuff on staging | 18:42:37 |
| sterni | should maybe look at the broken list as of right now | 18:42:57 |
 @wolfgangwalther:matrix.org | Are you going to give the new blazing fast script a run or should I? | 18:43:37 |
| sterni | feel free to I’m obly on the phone at the moment | 18:44:27 |
| sterni | * feel free to I’m only on the phone at the moment | 18:44:34 |
| @wolfgangwalther:matrix.org | will do.. and put it in a PR at first, so that we can just have a look for now. | 18:47:19 |
 maralorn | I think I haven’t made it through all my packages. I think especially hls should really work on all versions. But it seems fair to put a bit pressure on that because I had enough time already. | 18:52:55 |
| @wolfgangwalther:matrix.org | I fixed some easy ones of yours yesterday, but not HLS :D | 18:53:50 |

| @wolfgangwalther:matrix.org | List in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/444422, we should merge before "either tonight or tomorrow", when staging-next will be created. | 09:59:00 |
| sterni | I’ll make a list of packages I’d want to fix on staging-next and then merge it later | 11:17:05 |
| maralorn | Wolfgang Walther: sterni Who wants to answer on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/444721? I think the main point is that we will achieve the switch to 9.10 and have no blockers. Right? | 19:10:34 |

 bglgwyng | I found that 7479392276eede7c7cb89abf1693e8ef9ae5aebd fixed the issue | 05:25:55 |
| bglgwyng | but it's just a stackage snapshot update, so there's a problem in my package override logic. | 05:26:22 |
| bglgwyng | I did 10+ python3, ghc build for 1 day bisecting between 60,000 commits lol | 05:27:01 |
| bglgwyng | https://github.com/bglgwyng/nix-x-cabal/blob/main/modules/cabal-project.nix#L181
I build configured packages and put them into the package db by using ghcWithPackage.
Is is safe way to do it? Do we have a more lower level function to build package db?

| @wolfgangwalther:matrix.org | We had planned to look at Template Haskell in pkgsStatic for this release cycle and I feel that we really shouldn't push this out much further. The gap between pkgsStatic with GHC 9.4 and default with GHC 9.10 is widening now. I think we should discuss how to proceed here first, before deciding on whether we have any blockers or not. | 07:46:43 |
| maralorn | I just tried to run nixpkgs-review unix2dos PR and got 23k builds. I feel like I am holding it wrong. | 08:17:58 |
 Puna | if you're using local evaluation to get the list of rebuilds, try applying this patch: https://github.com/Mic92/nixpkgs-review/commit/558b6d4da3032bb43c396d6042c41681ac2b9408 | 08:22:09 |
| sterni | maralorn: sounds about right | 08:23:02 |
| maralorn | Okay. I mean, I don’t think we can realistically hold-up the release so this would be more like setting ourselves a deadline. I have no stakes in pkgsStatic I don’t know much about the current problem and I don’t use it. But if there is a way forward to fix it I would of course like that to happen. | 08:23:52 |
| maralorn | I see. Then I was just … naive. | 08:24:05 |
| maralorn | Would it make more sense then to merge it into haskell-updates to get more visibility whether it breaks any haskell packages? | 08:26:26 |
