Grimmauld (any/all) | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/457547
Like, we'll need to decide this soon... | 12:35:26 |
K900 | Oh lord | 12:36:24 |
K900 | I have not even seen this | 12:36:29 |
Grimmauld (any/all) | what, you thought i was joking? | 12:37:06 |
K900 | I thought this was a thing from some previous cycle | 12:37:18 |
Grimmauld (any/all) | no, i was serious, and tbh i am at a loss about what to do | 12:37:23 |
K900 | I'm tempted to send it | 12:37:44 |
K900 | @emily @Alyssa Ross thoughts? | 12:37:50 |
Grimmauld (any/all) | i am thinking we can't leave a broken coreutils as-is, if you want to send it then you have my support (though i'd approve a revert too) | 12:38:29 |
Alyssa Ross | Seems bad. I guess a day or so of builds isn't that much. | 12:44:23 |
ivy | no way broken coreutils is worth | 12:44:36 |
ivy | i mean no way it’s worth leaving it broken | 12:44:49 |
ivy | it shouldn’t be | 12:44:56 |
ivy | like i bet it’ll cause downstream build instability without patching it | 12:45:28 |
K900 | Yeah I'm mostly thinking patch or revert | 12:46:17 |
Alyssa Ross | patch IMO | 12:46:32 |
Alyssa Ross | don't see any reason we'd revert | 12:46:36 |
Alyssa Ross | doesn't seem indicative of there being a higher than usual liklihood of more bugs | 12:46:57 |
K900 | Then fuck it | 12:47:02 |
K900 | I'm sending it | 12:47:06 |
K900 | Oh wait no I'm not | 12:47:20 |
K900 | It's targeting staging and not next | 12:47:24 |
ivy | oh make it next | 12:47:35 |
ivy | i literally just searched tail in nixpkgs, too many integral packages use tail to build | 12:48:04 |
K900 | I asked to retarget | 12:48:31 |
K900 | Don't really want to push things to someone else's PR without their consent | 12:48:43 |
Alyssa Ross | that seems a poor justification for further wasted builds to me | 12:49:03 |
K900 | Aaaaaaaand github is down | 12:49:33 |
Alyssa Ross | it's based on a commit that's in staging-next anyway | 12:49:34 |
K900 | Are you shitting me | 12:49:36 |
