 ari ❄ | What are typical next steps for a PR against staging that has an approval (in this case: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/490720 )? package tests were successful on x86_64-linux, *-darwin haven't started for almost a week now, and aarch64-linux apparently crashed | 17:07:14 |
| ari ❄ | (i would guess the crash is unrelated to the change) | 17:08:55 |

 kuflierl | minizip-ng seems to be built with "-DMZ_LIB_SUFFIX='-ng'" which means that i can not simply use it as-is. I have no clue why this is done since this makes the whole post-install script useless. | 18:21:09 |

 Gaétan Lepage | Hi,
I'd like to get a second opinion on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/492506 before merging if possible? | 09:01:52 |

 vcunat | How come nixpkgs/unstable generated like 20k job rebuilds within 48h? | 05:56:27 |
| vcunat | The usual list doesn't seem to explain:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Amerged+label%3A%2210.rebuild-linux%3A+501%2B%22+base%3Amaster+sort%3Aupdated-desc+ | 06:00:32 |
| vcunat | * The usual list doesn't seem to fully explain:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Amerged+label%3A%2210.rebuild-linux%3A+501%2B%22+base%3Amaster+sort%3Aupdated-desc+ | 06:02:03 |
| vcunat | I give up, I guess. It's mostly -linux. I'm just cancelling non-current builds. | 06:03:07 |
 emily | there was an expedited kernel security release | 11:28:40 |
| emily | maybe relevant? | 11:28:44 |
| K900 | Those mostly hit nixos-unstable | 11:35:00 |
| K900 | Because of tests | 11:35:04 |

| vcunat | staging-next-25.11 merged | 12:01:24 |
| emily | oh, can we cherry-pick https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/506442? | 12:05:00 |
| emily | I didn't realize it was already in -next | 12:05:10 |
| emily | QEMU will break on stable on Darwin otherwise | 12:05:22 |
| emily | (it's a staging-nixos size rebuild but I assume most tests still need building anyway) | 12:05:39 |
| emily | will be a few hours before I could do a PR for that though | 12:05:57 |
| vcunat | Is that urgent really? | 12:07:23 |
| vcunat | I mean, we do update kernels in 25.11, which is about the same rebuild amount? | 12:07:40 |
| vcunat | * I mean, we do update kernels in 25.11 all the time, which is about the same rebuild amount? | 12:07:50 |
| vcunat | Ah, QEMU on darwin. | 12:08:27 |
| emily | I don't know if darwin.linux-builder is a channel blocker but it's certainly a bad regression | 12:09:22 |
| emily | (also ability to run NixOS tests etc. on Darwin) | 12:09:43 |
| vcunat | I suppose the 50 minutes of delay on Hydra will be worth it. | 12:11:40 |
| vcunat | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/506590 | 12:11:56 |
| emily | thank you! sorry for missing the right branch :) | 12:14:13 |
