 Mindavi | Has anyone ever benchmarked nix with huge pages? Does it help anything with evaluation? | 17:24:47 |

 fricklerhandwerk | In reply to @emilazy:matrix.org
that page has "Shipped with the previous stable release" but I thought the support policy was that only the latest version + the version in stable NixOS were supported? so isn't that going to be pointing to the manual for an unsupported version soon? Uhm yes, but that’s not a contradiction. Just because the previous Nixpkgs release ships Nix 2.18 it doesn’t mean we have to actively support it | 14:43:50 |

 Mic92 | emily: It would be a bit of a catch-22 if we could never remove a nix version that is still available in the previous nixpkgs version. It took unfortunally a bit to migrate all packages that were using nix 2.18 in nixpkgs. We will support nix 2.24 for sure. | 06:59:08 |
| Mic92 | I will try to also port all patches back for the important stuff that was still using 2.18 in the release. | 06:59:47 |

| Mic92 | Ah that was not the actual thing you asked actually | 07:02:11 |
| Mic92 | Well now it seems to point to nix 2.24. | 07:04:13 |

 Matej Urbas | Hi Arian! You probably got to the bottom of this problem by now, right?
For the future though, I just added this S3 logging change to Nix: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/12007
This will print an ID which you can use to find more information in CloudWatch. | 19:09:19 |

 roberth | Perhaps we should adopt the "oldstable" name? I've seen that name pop up during the support window overlap before | 13:59:55 |
