| @tpw_rules:matrix.org | debian is considering reverting xz further | 23:02:08 |
| @tpw_rules:matrix.org | given our long lead time on a fix we should too | 23:06:13 |
 hexa | as mentioned this would remove symbols that packages now depend on, so not as simple | 23:07:06 |
| hexa | let's wait a week and see how the world looks then | 23:07:20 |
| @tpw_rules:matrix.org | ok | 23:07:57 |
| @tpw_rules:matrix.org | thanks all | 23:12:00 |

 ris_ | i'm struggling to reproduce this now, but I'm sure we've had at least one case in the past where fetchFromGitHub wasn't returning the vanilla repo source | 23:16:40 |
| ris_ | tomberek: not sure how we'd fit any of that in with the UX of fetchFromGitHub though | 23:17:57 |
 tomberek | I don't think fetchFromGitHub can. I was talking about the underlying mechanism from GitHub. | 23:18:51 |
| ris_ | fundamentally for f-f-g-h we want a user to supply a tag name and unmistakably get the repo source for that commit. perhaps we can and i'm just delusional/mis-remembering | 23:20:42 |
| ris_ | anyway, we should probably investigate how we might make it easier to build packages from raw source, despite bootstrapping issues | 23:22:14 |

 raitobezarius | Post bootstrap verification seems a cheap first step, let's double check we get the expected stuff | 01:39:02 |

as mentioned this would remove symbols that packages now depend on, so not as simple Maybe it's simpler for us thanks to doing all the rebuilds, but I haven't investigated whether those packages can build without the symbols. | 05:58:31 |

i'm struggling to reproduce this now, but I'm sure we've had at least one case in the past where fetchFromGitHub wasn't returning the vanilla repo source You light have encountered a case were git attributes were used, which can modify the generated git archive. An example that I have on hand: https://github.com/paulscherrerinstitute/StreamDevice/blob/master/.gitattributes | 08:21:08 |
| ris_ | the seems feasible - didn't know about that. at least changes to gitattributes have to be checked in, which limits their stealth | 11:05:44 |
