is there a recommended way? Switch your whole system to the nixpkgs commit that you want to test. | 06:20:56 |

could you explain what you mean by "the gnome branch Nix files are imported using the system pkgs instead of pulling its own pkgs set"? i am afraid im not following I just meant using the system nixpkgs to callPackage all the newer packages just so they get built w/ the same stdenv (they need rebuilding anyway) | 06:21:39 |
| diamond (it/its) | yeah I guess the best way is to rebuild your entire system | 06:21:52 |
| diamond (it/its) | that will take forever though | 06:21:55 |
| vcunat | Well yes. We were waiting for the rebase to make a Hydra jobset... but right now with less than two weeks to 23.11 branchoff, there probably won't even be time to do this kind of pre-testing. | 06:23:02 |

Switch your whole system to the nixpkgs commit that you want to test. ah got it. yeah, i'm explicitly trying to avoid that because i don't want to wait for the whole build and also there are some super new changes i like having | 06:25:00 |

| shortcutz | wait uhh you're right i definitely could do that | 06:26:06 |
| shortcutz | would i have to compile something huge like webkit-gtk though if i did that? kind of confused on how hydra works | 06:31:45 |
| vcunat | Most likely. But that's not about hydra really. | 06:34:03 |
| vcunat | Adding more changes to the gnome branch most likely won't decrease the amount of building that you need. | 06:35:14 |
| shortcutz | ok thanks for the answers. | 06:36:00 |
| shortcutz | would love to some sort of pre-built or cached version at some point- my computer is simply not beefy enough to build webkit-gtk 😠| 06:36:28 |
| vcunat | If the gnome upgrade should be in 23.11 (which surely should), cache for it will be there soon anyway. | 06:39:37 |
| vcunat | Incorporating fixes from such testing before release happens, that's mainly what I see at risk. | 06:40:51 |
| vcunat | (But they won't be blocked from getting onto 23.11 eventually.) | 06:41:21 |
| shortcutz | yay! and 23.11 is the end of the month i see, so that's exciting | 06:44:20 |

|  @krizdavezz:matrix.org changed their display name from Aravind krishna to kriz. | 10:55:57 |
| @krizdavezz:matrix.org removed their display name kriz. | 10:57:20 |
| @krizdavezz:matrix.org left the room. | 10:57:22 |
 piegames | FYI Jan Tojnar: So I have implemented the things you requested in your review of my changes to the GNOME 45 PR, but I can't test them locally because build is failing. I will push them once it works again | 12:02:16 |

 @ThorHop:matrix.org | Just trying to build bobby285271 rebase from the official nixpkgs branch... | 02:46:45 |
| @ThorHop:matrix.org | I'm reminded of why I left gentoo | 02:46:52 |
| @ThorHop:matrix.org | Come on, sweet 23.11! Gimme that binary goodness. | 02:47:05 |
