 raboof | I see there's no staging-next-25.11 - does that just mean the current staging-25.11 will become staging-next-25.11? when? is there anything in particular I can do to help that along? :) | 15:53:22 |
 vcunat | We have that branch in progress now:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/468267 | 15:56:12 |
| vcunat | The general workflow is described at
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#staging | 15:57:02 |
| vcunat | (hopefully well enough - or we should fix it there) | 15:57:18 |
| raboof | huh must've missed a 'fetch' | 15:59:10 |

| Sergio Besana | Hello all, I tried to upgrade to 25.11 with nix-channel --add https://channels.nixos.org/nixos-25.11 nixos and I'm getting the following error - error: file 'nixpkgs/nixos' was not found in the Nix search path (add it using $NIX_PATH or -I)
followed by more identical errors - can somebody help me? many thanks | 15:48:02 |
 hexa | did you run nix-channel --update? | 15:57:29 |
| hexa | and what does echo $NIX_PATH look like? | 15:58:06 |

| Sergio Besana | how many time it takes to upgrade ? the terminal is working since 3 hours... and draining gigabytes of space from the HD . | 10:01:27 |
 leona | this very much depends on how fast your internet connection and your disk is, also how much is prebuild from your system (generally speaking how much is OSS software) and how large your system is | 10:06:01 |
 jficz | just dropping a thanks here 🙂 flake-based upgrade to 25.11 on my servers was nearly flawless | 12:33:02 |
