@tsn9cp_again:matrix.orgtsn9cp_againQuick question about the naming convention of package/derivation versions in Nix: If I build from a specific commit, which is present only in a specific branch, how would I name the version? AFAIK the convention for non-tagged commit on the main branch is "unstable-YYYY-MM-DD". Where would the branch fit into this?10:36:37
@k900:0upti.meK900 Better question for #Nixpkgs / NixOS contributions 10:37:11

@roberthensing:matrix.orgRobert Hensing (roberth)@Mic92 fyi https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/1389814:12:20
@roberthensing:matrix.orgRobert Hensing (roberth)also tagged it and the linked one for triage14:13:02
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92 Robert Hensing (roberth): nix-eval-jobs also has --apply but this is per derivation i.e. to compute additional values for the json output 14:35:53
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92For nix --apply might be a good name itself.14:39:32

@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatFYI, a nix test regressed on master apparently about one day ago: https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nix/master/tests.nix-copy09:39:44
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat(no idea why jobsets with flakes won't show commits)09:40:42
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Hm: more like it’s been flaky. Concerning10:03:08
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatNo. The red circles are cancellations.10:24:11
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatBecause running 600 jobs on every commit in the Nix repo would be lots of work.10:25:07
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatAh, though I see some red crosses further back in August, too.10:26:12
