 hexa | * ris_: huh, is 2.9.10 -> 2.9.11/12 such a big jump? | 12:04:18 |
| hexa | there are already patches in there, I don't mind the patching, just wondering if they don't do semver? | 12:04:50 |
 ris_ | well, it introduced the annoying lxml breakage | 12:05:01 |
| hexa | ah, yeah. libxml2. | 12:05:14 |
| hexa | I remember 🔥 | 12:05:26 |
| hexa | I wouldn't be surprised if a handful of things land on staging-20.09 before the months end | 12:06:32 |
| ris_ | ok i'll retarget it | 12:09:25 |
| ris_ | i generally tend to think of semver as "an aspiration" | 12:11:04 |
| ris_ | different projects succeed in following it to different degrees | 12:12:07 |
| ris_ | and of course there's no hard definition of what's breaking and what's not so it's hard | 12:12:26 |
| hexa | once merged staging-20.09 will start an eval on hydra | 15:06:29 |
| hexa | so let's maybe give it one or two days, idk | 15:06:38 |
| hexa | the situation isn't ideal | 15:06:43 |
| hexa | The 20.09 release has received roughtly 260 security related backports until today | 16:57:39 |
| hexa | * The 20.09 release has received roughtly 260 security related backports until today 💪 | 17:05:19 |

| ris_ | wanna make it 261? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/125233 | 10:55:44 |
| ris_ | or even 262? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/125088 | 10:56:17 |
| hexa | Interested, but only at home later tonight | 12:36:00 |

| Henson | I've got a question about the postgresql_11 package. A couple weeks ago there was a security update announcement in the Debian security mailing list recommending to upgrade from 11.11 to 11.12 due to several bug fixes. I notice that NixOS's postgres_11 package is still at 11.11 in 20.09 and 21.05. Is there a reason this hasn't been bumped to 11.12 yet? | 12:34:14 |
| Henson | this is coming from the perspective of somebody who doesn't know much about the NixOS security team and is interested in understanding things better. | 12:38:47 |
|  ldesgoui joined the room. | 12:39:00 |
| hexa | Fixed in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/125751, needs to go through the channels I'd imagine | 13:29:17 |
| hexa | https://nixpk.gs/pr-tracker.html?pr=125751 | 13:29:36 |
 Sandro | Yeah, mass rebuild | 13:30:16 |
| Sandro | Is 11 the default version? If not we can maybe cherry pick it | 13:30:34 |
| Henson | hexa: thanks for pointing that out, I looked in the issues for it but didn't look in the PRs. | 13:54:30 |
| Henson | Sandro: so if postgres_11 gets bumped from 11.11 to 11.12, then all packages that have postgres_11 in their closure have to get rebuilt, right? | 13:57:48 |
| Henson | and postgres_11 = postgres is the default postgres for NixOS | 13:58:43 |
