 emily | the latter option does have the perk that it's exactly the same merge structure we have now and just distributes the work of doing the conflicting ones to the authors of the PRs that cause the conflicts | 18:29:07 |
| emily | (but it punts on helping with the conditionalization dance except insofar as it makes it easier to land the conditional and the clean-up in the same PR without one getting forgotten) | 18:31:01 |
| emily | also with the feature flags variant we could still have the "controbutor didn't realize this needs staging, let's retarget with a couple clicks" convenience by having CI detect PRs targeting a staging branch, automatically push the generated staging commit, and retarget back to master | 18:33:34 |
| emily | which also means that if you're doing a simple non-conflicting staging change you don't need to run any script locally at all and can just send a PR to staging as you do now | 18:34:02 |
| emily | the script doesn't have to be perfect because it's just a convenience and doesn't have to be in the trusted code base, it can get away with just handling the common cases | 18:35:18 |

 Grimmauld (any/all) | Uh, i tried building a graphical x86_64 iso, and got xorriso : FAILURE : Image size 1835008s exceeds free space on media 112320s. How bad is this? | 19:45:22 |

 Sandro 🐧 | So lix can deprecate anything they want and nixpkgs needs to follow that? Interesting development | 15:06:50 |
 Alyssa Ross | Not causing warnings for some fraction of our users, in the absence of technical arguments against making the change that would silence the warnings sounds fine to be. | 15:09:40 |

| Grimmauld (any/all) | Nixpkgs has a lot of dumb nix lang edgecases. I think the effort of making nixpkgs a bit less demanding on weird language edge cases is a good idea, ultimately making reimplementations of the nix language more feasible in the future. | 15:22:13 |
| K900 | No, but Lix can deprecate valid footguns | 15:42:00 |
| K900 | And removing them from nixpkgs seems worth it | 15:42:06 |
