@hexa:lossy.networkhexaWhich makes it pretty clear that I'm going to stay with ceph for other setups, even if writes are more expensive.21:04:51
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaNow if only the nixpkgs packaging of ceph was better21:05:37
@tom:dragar.deTombetter in which aspect? Haven't looked at it just heard that ceph and nixos aren't necessarily the best combo.21:09:58

@hexa:lossy.networkhexasquid will run out of support during the 26.05 release cycle21:19:59
@hexa:lossy.networkhexathere is no clear maintainer for this package21:20:19
@tom:dragar.deTomoh, there are even two PRs for it 😅 https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/494887 https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/49458321:21:49
@tom:dragar.deTomthe second does look like it improves the overall situation21:39:21
@tom:dragar.deTombut yeah, there curently doesn't seem to be an (active) committer involved21:52:25

@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephenshuh, I didn't realize we'd added an nspawn driver for tests. That could really help the Incus tests since they rely on nested virtualization which is problematic outside x8620:03:10

@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensThe release announcements really make it sound like there's a distro group that gets notified of security releases, but I have no clue where that is and I'm not being contacted...03:18:03

@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensIncus LTS 7.0 is planned to be released on 4/30. That's after release breaking change deadline, but since I don't expect it to be an actual breaking change, I'd like to get it in 26.05. If you have any thoughts, please share.15:18:18
@tom:dragar.deTomit's my understandig too that it's basically just 6.24 which is becoming 7.0, but we'll see15:20:22
@tom:dragar.deTom

The Incus 6.0 LTS release will be supported until June 2029. The first 2 years of support will include bug and security fixes as well as minor usability improvements. The remaining 3 years of support (following Incus 7.0 LTS’ release) will only feature security updates.

15:24:30
@tom:dragar.deTomgiven that the last security updates didn't even get a release tag yet it sure would be better to be on 7.0 though15:24:39
@tom:dragar.deTomone could of course also introduce incus6-lts and incus7-lts. But that seems like quite a headache15:25:57
@tom:dragar.deTom* one could of course also introduce incus6-lts and incus7-lts. But that seems like quite a headache and hopefully not worth it15:26:21
@tom:dragar.deTom* one could of course also introduce incus6-lts and incus7-lts. But that seems like quite a headache and hopefully not worth it (because they aren't to breaking anyway)15:26:42
