 hexa | dminuoso: can I ask what's holding you back? Interested from a security team perspective. | 20:36:01 |
| hexa | I assume this is work related? | 20:36:12 |
 dminuoso | hexa: Oh yeah. Updating closures for 22.11 is scheduled right after we're done with a critical project, so probably next week or so. | 20:54:16 |
| dminuoso | It was a bit of a mismanagement on my side, at the time it was released we had a lot of folks on vacation. Next time we should probably prepare closures for a new nixos release before the release, but oh well. | 20:55:44 |
| dminuoso | It's a bit of an effort because we have a lot of nixos machines involved, so we have to do audits, backport changes, etc.. | 20:56:28 |

| hexa | you can probably start evaluating the new release as soon as it is branched, which happens roughly ten days before the actual release | 20:58:39 |
| hexa | then you have like 5 weeks to migrate, which might sound short, but I think nixos makes updating far easier than other distros | 20:59:15 |

| Wanja Hentze | for 22.11, we *did* start working on the upgrade in time, but it still took us til mid January to finish it because there was so much breakage this time | 22:12:22 |
| hexa | ok | 22:28:20 |
