 Vladimír Čunát | * I think 25.11, as (up to) one month delay is long enough for security fixes already. | 07:18:51 |
| Vladimír Čunát | New staging-next-25.11:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/493587 | 07:31:06 |
| Vladimír Čunát | The first change in there was merged on Jan 25, so the delay will be more like 5 weeks. | 07:31:34 |
| Vladimír Čunát | (though the first real security fix was merged about a week later) | 07:32:50 |
| Vladimír Čunát | Redacted or Malformed Event | 07:45:13 |
 Alyssa Ross | Wonder if that's automatable. Feels like it should be... | 07:45:47 |
 K900 | We can probably auto-merge staging-nixos into next? | 07:46:26 |
| K900 | Like instead of going master -> next -> staging, we can go master -> staging-nixos -> next -> staging | 07:46:42 |
|  makefu joined the room. | 13:02:48 |
| Alyssa Ross | Oh yeah perfect | 14:48:50 |
 tazjin | we're several versions behind on libxkbcommon (~ every GUI thing depends on it), I rebuilt the world and tested with this PR: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/487689
no build failures across a bunch of heterogeneous nixos configs with lots of desktop software, and the systems I've tested run fine. I think it makes sense to move forward with this, as it's going to start blocking more and more updates (right now, for example, latest river depends on tihs)
| 14:57:30 |
| K900 | Sure, let's just get this in | 14:59:20 |
| makefu | hey all, currently calibre is broken on unstable and master ( https://hydra.nixos.org/build/322102655 ), last success was at https://hydra.nixos.org/build/321911294 . error message states it cannot find qt6 qmake anymore. i tried to pinpoint the issue (or have rather have mr computer trying to build the package until it is successful) and it came up with the following solution https://p.krebsco.de/1x23192 however i have absolutely no idea if this is a good idea and i had no plan to touch qt6 buildhooks in first place.
setting env.QMAKE="${qt6.qtbase}/bin/qmake" in calibre directly didnt help
before i create a PR, could anybody have a quick look at the solution above?
| 17:37:25 |
| K900 | I believe we have a fix for that in the next staging | 17:37:43 |
| makefu | is staging-next more "fresh" than master? | 17:38:26 |
| K900 | No | 17:39:36 |
| K900 | staging-next is currently behind master, as Hydra is building staging-25.11 | 17:39:45 |
| K900 | We should have the next staging-next cycle probably somewhere around the end of the week | 17:40:02 |
| makefu | the issue still exists in master when trying to build calibre | 17:52:33 |
| K900 | Yes, and the fix is in staging | 17:52:51 |
| K900 | Not staging-next | 17:52:52 |
| K900 | Which is ahead of master | 17:52:55 |
| makefu | ah!!! | 17:53:06 |
| K900 | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#staging | 17:53:13 |
| makefu | okay thanks, that makes more sense | 17:53:13 |
| Vladimír Čunát | It's unlikely to happen this week. | 17:55:59 |
| makefu | so when i am checking build failures in unstable because i did nix flake update nixpkgs and now my system does not build i should generally check both channels, staging and master if the package builds? or was calibre special that it needed fixing via the staging branch? | 17:59:49 |
| Vladimír Čunát | staging tends to be hard to check. You'd be doing lots of building work. | 18:01:12 |
| Vladimír Čunát | And it more often breaks things than fixes 😅 | 18:01:51 |
| K900 | Calibre wasn't special, but qmake in general was | 18:01:53 |
