I need somethings from the https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/424162, which is now merged into staging. However, when I try to use it locally the caches aren't populated just yet, so I end up recompiling GHC. The caches are a bit confusing since staging or haskell-updates rev that I need don't have the cache, but it's not clear to me when are these changes going to end up in staging-next or master (which do have the caches).
Slightly unrelated question: how do things get merged from staging to staging-next in general? Because the https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#staging says that there should be a manual PR. However, I don't see anything similar when I search for PRs from staging to staging-next: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pulls?q=is%3Apr+base%3Astaging-next+head%3Astaging+ haskell-updates also gets cached, but there was a bag change today so you probably want a commit from a few days ago. | 12:22:33 |
| maralorn | https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixpkgs/haskell-updates trick: pick the mentioned commit from the eval three days ago | 12:23:38 |

What is a bag change? | 12:23:48 |
| maralorn | A big change typed on my stupid phone. | 12:24:23 |
| dana | big change - the default ghc upgrade from 429212? | 12:25:03 |
| maralorn | Regarding staging-next I think that branch gets created fresh at some point the PR that you are looking for will be staging-next -> master. | 12:26:42 |

 Alyssa Ross | It never gets recreated — staging just gets merged into it when it's time for a new cycle. | 12:33:19 |

It never gets recreated — staging just gets merged into it when it's time for a new cycle. How can I find commits/PRs that correspond to this? | 12:35:33 |

| Alyssa Ross | git log --merges --grep="staging.*staging-next" origin/staging-next would probably be reasonably accurate | 12:37:33 |
