 emily | that's ignoring the costs on the release process itself and externalizing the cost of things like there being no way to do overrides that works with both supported Nixpkgs versions and no deprecation period onto our users | 20:57:02 |
| emily | there's a reason we avoid doing major bumps shortly before release even when we haven't totally rewritten a package | 20:57:30 |
| John Ericson | I think that delay applies more to the source code / behavior content than the packaging itself | 20:58:12 |
| John Ericson | the thing that is rushed here feels much more "meta" | 20:58:21 |
| emily | and right now I am taking time out of my evening outside because the costs of insufficient communication have been externalized and this needs resolving days before the freeze | 20:58:34 |
| John Ericson | this is why it is crucial to mentally separate 2.2{4,7} from build system / packaging / etc. | 20:58:51 |
 ElvishJerricco | raitobezarius: I would like to know an example I could use to verify whether or not Nix actually has the problem you describe. | 20:58:54 |
