 maralorn | Yes, nixpkgs will lag behind, especially in the last year because we get to little help maintaining it. But very often not having the bleeding edge is fine for most usecases. | 18:22:12 |
 Uraraka ~ Ochaco | that's fair enough, I have contributed fixes to it before | 18:23:22 |

 Artem | regarding https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/429810#issuecomment-3242423178
it's curious that the test suite hangs on "network client and server" (the last line) Something about network configuration on hydra machines?.. | 13:46:14 |
 sterni (he/him) | either that or related to load on those machines, hard to tell | 13:47:34 |
| sterni (he/him) | I'll ask if they changed anything recently | 13:48:18 |
| sterni (he/him) | maybe someone should try with Nix, I've used Lix | 13:50:14 |
| sterni (he/him) | okay third time's the charm | 14:08:22 |

 bglgwyng | I've patched glib package and got this message during build

I think it's somewhat related to Setup.hs executing during install, but I have no clue how to inspect this more. Does anyone know this issue?

| sterni (he/him) | bglgwyng: what does patched mean here? | 12:11:25 |
| sterni (he/him) | Wolfgang Walther: hi :) | 12:11:38 |
| bglgwyng | I did glib = callCabal2Nix ./glib-x.y.z {...} thing. I'm using haskell-flake so the code is different but the result would be so. | 12:14:43 |
| sterni (he/him) | i guess you should first rule out that you have multiple gtk2hs-buildtools derivations in the build environment | 12:24:38 |

| maralorn | Ah, yeah, users and their wishes. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/190542#issuecomment-3253170725
Funny thing is I remember vividly how hard not having the newest version of anything would have annoyed me ten years ago. 😄 | 11:52:17 |
| Uraraka ~ Ochaco | Absolutely a thing we would need so far to continue | 12:25:17 |
 emily | ok, how are you meant to go from an LLVM commit hash to the merge request that contains it? | 13:52:57 |
| emily | the GitLab UI completely fails to show the link since they use a merge bot | 13:53:07 |
 Alyssa Ross | LLVM? They use GitHub | 13:54:33 |
| emily | whoops. sorry. GHC. | 14:05:13 |
| emily | you see, I am working with LLVM-related GHC patches :P | 14:05:28 |
 Teo (he/him) | Do you have the commit? | 14:08:55 |
| Teo (he/him) | * Could you share the commit SHA? | 14:09:10 |
| Teo (he/him) | If you open the commit, you'll normally see back links at the bottom of the page from marge bot mentions | 14:10:19 |
