 emily | how should we handle llvm-ffi in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/437137? I think it's not great to break CI here, and I question whether we really want llvm-ffi to be using the latest possible LLVM version rather than the one for our default llvmPackages? | 20:17:05 |
| emily | it would make sense if the warning was triggered only for haskell-updates, but it just blocks eval for any PR instead | 20:17:34 |
| emily | and in this case it's asking for an upgrade to an LLVM version that the Haskell library version on master doesn't really support | 20:18:28 |
| emily | I'm tempted to say we just comment out the warning until a better way of doing it is found? | 20:21:53 |
| emily | (which I think would look like: "if the default llvmPackages was bumped and we're on haskell-updates, then warn Haskell maintainers") | 20:22:30 |
 maralorn | emily: Sadly, I have no clue and would have to research the supported versions llvm-ffi. Generally deactivating a warning that blocks you while pinging involved people seems fine. Possibly the person with the most bandwidth to think about this is wolfgangwalther who is not here but is already part of the conversation on github. | 20:28:47 |
| emily | I talked about the warning with sterni in #staging:nixos.org recently :) | 20:29:04 |
| emily | but I don't recall what the concrete conclusion was | 20:29:09 |
| maralorn | Well, I’ll take the opportunity and join that room now. | 20:30:46 |
