 Wolfgang Walther | Re-using the existing backport tools; I like. This makes any investments into these pay off in more ways. | 16:05:50 |
 emily | FWIW, we could still do the fancy "PR with the conflicts up so you can review them before diving in" thing, by making it work for all label-based backports. | 16:06:35 |
| emily | i.e., a backport label never fails, it just sometimes produces a PR with conflict markers. | 16:06:43 |
| emily | and then that would also work for backports to release branches, which would be nice. | 16:06:52 |
| emily | so yeah, I think a backporting approach is strictly more consistent/makes better use of our tooling investments. | 16:07:12 |
| Wolfgang Walther | So I guess this will be the first thing to work on. This can be non-blocking and purely informative at first. Once it works, it can be enforced. | 16:08:40 |
| emily | that seems useful regardless of workflow | 16:14:49 |
| emily | but … it'd be good to know if K900 is thinking of something we're missing here wrt the workflow, too | 16:15:07 |
| emily | (I am guessing just a communication problem about what the flow would actually be but I could be wrong) | 16:15:32 |
 K900 | I'm at the vet, will write longer words in a bit | 16:15:33 |
 Yureka (she/her) | I like the idea | 16:25:30 |
| Yureka (she/her) | So, spectrum really needs a fix for pkgsMusl.iproute2 in the current staging-next | 16:26:31 |
| Yureka (she/her) | * anyways
So, spectrum really needs a fix for pkgsMusl.iproute2 in the current staging-next
| 16:26:39 |
| Yureka (she/her) | it's expensive rebuilds-wise | 16:26:40 |
| Yureka (she/her) | or we can make it conditional and then immediately revert and do a proper fix on staging yada yada | 16:27:02 |
| Yureka (she/her) | this is the high rebuilds solution: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/451338 | 16:27:11 |
| Yureka (she/her) | * or we can make it conditional and then immediately revert and do a proper fix on staging yada yada | 16:27:29 |
| Yureka (she/her) | someone merged it | 16:53:56 |
| Yureka (she/her) | we can still revert and go the low rebuild count path | 16:54:18 |
| Yureka (she/her) | * | 16:54:23 |
| Yureka (she/her) | * | 16:54:39 |
| K900 | I've unmerged | 16:54:53 |
| K900 | It didn't get through the queue | 16:54:56 |
| K900 | We don't really want the 20k rebuilds at this point | 16:55:21 |
| Yureka (she/her) | yep | 16:55:22 |
 Ihar Hrachyshka | how does one estimate when the next staging-next -> master will happen? (e.g. to determine if a temporary fix in master for a build failure is due while we wait for next->master to happen) | 16:59:54 |
|  matthewcroughan joined the room. | 17:00:39 |
| K900 | Usually just ask here | 17:01:04 |
| K900 | I'd say we're looking at middle of next week | 17:01:22 |
| K900 | At the earliest | 17:01:25 |
