@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericson(poly package maintenance for systemd is an orthogonal question)20:43:04
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyis the idea to keep the monolithic package around? I assumed that we'd want to switch to the componentized one early in 25.11 to shake out any issues well ahead of release20:56:43
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericson emily: yes, yeah the idea is to get rid it early in the cycle 20:59:57
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericsonso we are not in this some position come november21:00:02
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakaria

I asked this on twitter but maybe here is a better place.
On my MacOS Nix installation (2.26) I'm surprised in my flake project how often I hit:

unpacking 'github:NixOS/nixpkgs/b7ba7f9f45c5cd0d8625e9e217c28f8eb6a19a76' into the Git cache.

@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakariaIs this a bug in Nix or something I'm missing.22:56:04

@mjolnir:nixos.orgmjolnir banned @cafkafk:fem.gg@cafkafk:fem.gg (<no reason supplied>).11:41:55
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92 fzakaria: what do you mean by often? is this for the same commit? 12:16:39
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92 I can also recommend: nixpkgs.url = "git+https://github.com/Mic92/nixpkgs?shallow=1&ref=main"; 12:17:10
