 Alyssa Ross | staging apparently already existed in 2015 | 17:43:31 |

(not trying to prove a point or anything here -- I just found the archeological question interesting :)) Me too! The earliest reference I can find is https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/b4e5181dde01c6938825484f210120b54f1a7d2a | 17:46:04 |
| Alyssa Ross | yeah that's what I found too | 17:46:32 |
| Alyssa Ross | In 2009 there was an svn branch called stdenv-updates, which I suppose was proto-staging | 17:48:44 |
| Alyssa Ross | people on nix-dev were complaining about it being used as a staging area, apparently it wasn't supposed to be for that | 17:49:16 |
| Alyssa Ross | aha, found the origin! | 17:50:15 |

|  superherointj joined the room. | 18:21:19 |
 Vladimír Čunát | That's from time when there were only a handful of active contributors (and also users, presumably). | 18:29:06 |

 sterni | is anyone aware of any reasons we may need to do a staging-next run in the coming time for 21.05? Seems quiet currently | 10:30:22 |
| sterni | I have some haskell changes with a small chance of breaking things lined up, so ideally there would be a staging-next run focused on that | 10:31:14 |
| sterni | since usually the chance of haskell packages breaking in staging-next is very slim | 10:31:28 |
| sterni | * since usually the chance of haskell packages breaking in staging-next is very slim, so I don't want to impose that on anyone doing it for other changes ideally | 10:31:46 |
| Vladimír Čunát | I'm not aware. I just see https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pulls?q=is%3Apr+base%3Astaging-21.05+is%3Aopen+ | 11:02:23 |
| Vladimír Čunát | It sounds fine to me to do the pair about now. Hydra is relatively idle currently. | 11:02:44 |
| sterni | okay, then I'll try to finish up my PR later | 11:03:09 |
| sterni | how is the staging-next branch-off usually done? by merging staging into staging-next? | 13:05:31 |
 lukegb (he/him) | Yeah. If you're lucky it becomes a fastforward | 13:17:58 |
 hexa | do we want to iterate further on the regressions on staging-next or merge? | 13:59:37 |
| lukegb (he/him) | What regressions do we have left | 14:34:26 |
| hexa | https://shells.darmstadt.ccc.de/~hexa/1706497.html | 14:44:48 |
| hexa | https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1706497?compare=trunk | 14:46:32 |

| 14:49:12 |
| Vladimír Čunát | I'd prefer that trunk-combined evaluation gets fixed before the merge. | 18:05:11 |
| Vladimír Čunát | It's been stuck for about three days now. | 18:05:39 |
| lukegb (he/him) | Makes sense. I'll try and look at the Linux hardened breakages this evening if I can muster the will | 18:05:55 |
| sterni | Vladimír Čunát: wow what happened to it? | 18:38:47 |
