 emily | since rec { ${"ambiguous"} = 123; test = ambiguous; }.test does work | 16:26:56 |
 K900 | Yes, try ${"a" + "mbiguous"} | 16:27:10 |
| emily | arguably rec with conditional attributes should let you refer to them and just turn off scope checking like with does 🙃 | 16:27:15 |
| K900 | To bypass that optimization | 16:27:14 |
| emily | right, in which case it just complains that ambiguous is unbound | 16:28:15 |
| emily | so yeah, rec is weird in a way that with isn't | 16:28:26 |
| emily | well, or with is weird in a different way at least | 16:28:33 |
| emily | "we have rec at home":
nix-repl> let self = with self; { ${if true then "ambiguous" else null} = 123; test = ambiguous; }; in self.test

|  mana-byte changed their display name from Manaiki to mana-byte. | 16:36:27 |
 tom | late to the party but there's https://github.com/google/libphonenumber/pull/3903, should we vendor that instead? happy to make a PR | 17:50:00 |

 Sandro 🐧 | yep, unmerged PRs should be vendored | 02:29:55 |
| tom | yup, I'm aware of that. My question was: Should we vendor that patch instead of pinning boost? | 07:11:43 |
 Alyssa Ross | sounds more friendly to cleanup. patches will be noticed when upgrading to a version that in includes it, but pins are rarely cleaned up | 08:46:50 |
| Alyssa Ross | as long as you're confident in the patch | 08:47:04 |
| tom | yeah, the patch is pretty straightforward and what boost recommends in their 1.89 release notes → opened https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/492413 | 09:41:06 |

 vcunat | I think of merging staging-next within hours. | 07:00:17 |
| K900 | Are we out of blockers then? | 08:24:17 |
| vcunat | -small is green now: https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1823052 | 08:31:52 |
| vcunat | mariadb.x86_64-darwin would block nixpkgs-unstable though | 08:32:13 |
| vcunat | (noticed since my last post) | 08:32:26 |
| vcunat | But it looks like just some missing includes. | 08:33:13 |
| vcunat | * But it looks like just some missing C #includes. | 08:33:33 |

 kirillrdy | tiny PR, non blocker, https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/492701 | 08:38:36 |
| vcunat | But it's not a staging* regression. Failing on nixpkgs master already:
