 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 |

| hexa | especially surprised for bash here | 20:11:14 |

 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 |

| K900 | So uh | 10:38:55 |
| K900 | Pipewire 1.6.0 just got tagged | 10:39:02 |
| K900 | Is it too late | 10:39:22 |
| K900 | It's a big feature update and also technically security | 10:40:30 |
