@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Yeah but realise that 2.31 needs love - we had to figure out release automation first. Was planning on doing that right afterwards15:19:40
@k900:0upti.meK900OK so there is a reason to do a 2.31 release?15:20:12
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Let me look, need to make sure that we caught all the fixes in there15:21:47
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)But I don't think 2.31-maintenance will get built for this staging-nixos merge though15:22:18
@k900:0upti.meK900Doesn't have to make the actual merge15:23:50
@k900:0upti.meK900Just needs to be before any channels start building15:23:57
@k900:0upti.meK900Which will be in ~an hour15:24:04
@k900:0upti.meK900 @Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) nixos-unstable evaluating 17:00:32
@k900:0upti.meK900So I guess next time17:00:37
@k900:0upti.meK900Hopefully we don't have a 3 week cycle again17:00:47
@k900:0upti.meK900Well I think the eval died17:57:54
@k900:0upti.meK900Oh great17:58:12
@k900:0upti.meK900I think we have a merge conflict17:58:16

@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92So I was thinking about how to version the nix installer, and I was thinking of having the first major and minor number following the nix version number and have the patch release be counted up as we release a new version within in the Nix release. 12:54:49
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92 Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium): thoughts? 12:55:05
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92This is how I currently do nix-eval-jobs releases as well.12:55:28
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92This reduces a bit the mental overhead of correlating nix versions with the installer12:56:08

Makes sense. With can automate the version bumps in nix releng workflow I think?
12:56:42
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)So that the manual churn is less of a bother. Open a PR + trigger a release on the other side too?12:58:15
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92we could trigger the update there. It would be good to have a way to release installer fixes without bumping the nix version13:00:49
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92Maybe having workflow parameter?13:01:17
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Maybe version in-repo like nix does? Then you can bump once, do all the necessary fixes and deploy as needed. Unlike nix we’d stay one patch version behind and bump on a nix bump though.13:03:56
