 dramforever | workaround idea for the systemd static nodes thing, might be too cursed: just modprobe all the static nodes on boot | 12:22:21 |
| dramforever | wait this is technically not a staging matter anymore | 12:22:40 |
 emily | are there any channel blockers that need someone looking at them right now? | 23:58:08 |

| emily | I see https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/454260 on the status page but not clear to me what it's waiting on | 00:16:37 |
 prince213 | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/454422 | 02:32:56 |
| prince213 | Need some review on this CVE fix | 02:33:01 |
 vcunat | This is unresolved so far, too
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/453603#issuecomment-3426233438 | 05:20:30 |
 ElvishJerricco | oh crap, I didn't see that comment | 05:23:09 |
| dramforever | oh, yeah that's why i was asking again about whether we want to work around this... | 05:23:51 |
| vcunat | And this one is a channel blocker:
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/309828960#tabs-buildsteps | 05:26:19 |
| vcunat | Also nixpkgs-unstable is blocked by an unrelated merge that happened before merging staging-next
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/452844#issuecomment-3425510646 | 05:28:27 |
| ElvishJerricco | I can't really think of a good way to workaround this. Just loading all modules in kmod static-nodes is really excessive, since we only need to fix the nodes that would get uaccess. And patching systemd.package seems...... not great | 05:32:56 |
| vcunat | So do that filename replacement in those roughly 10 .nix files? | 05:35:58 |
| vcunat | * So we do that filename replacement in those roughly 10 .nix files? | 05:36:02 |
| ElvishJerricco | right | 05:36:03 |
| ElvishJerricco | that's the thing that fixes the tests but not the bug | 05:36:14 |
| vcunat | (and revert these on staging afterwards) | 05:36:20 |
| ElvishJerricco | but it's a pretty minor bug | 05:36:23 |
| dramforever | it is fairly easily work-around-able | 05:37:49 |
| dramforever | but that counts on users knowing it's the systemd 258 problem | 05:41:03 |
| vcunat | Uh, amazon-ssm-agent did build for me on the first attempt, even though failing like 4-6 times on Hydra 😢 | 05:52:39 |
| vcunat | And now it passed even there. | 06:20:08 |
| vcunat | Annoying, but not critical. | 06:20:22 |
| vcunat | So at least nixos-unstable might be unblocked right now. We'll see in a few hours. | 06:39:16 |
