 leona | by the default procedure ZHF would start after this cycle's staging-next is merged. I'm not sure what it really needs, but at least it needs 2-3 more days time, if not more. ZHF can also start before, but then we get breaking changes in the ZHF after it started, so not ideal but acceptable | 21:00:01 |
 hexa | no scaling possible right now | 21:01:04 |
 Tristan Ross | In reply to @leona:leona.is
I'll publish a - hopefully good - announcement explaining the situation we're in, and start the ZHF from there. Otherwise time is too limited.. Cool, I'll try to help out with my 128 core system. Will be looking for the ZHF fixes label. | 21:34:50 |

 Morgan (@numinit) | Yeah I'll toss stuff at it for x86_64 on an EPYC, down to help stabilize | 06:02:25 |
| Morgan (@numinit) | Have both an EPYC 2 and EPYC 4 to toss at ZHF PRs this time :D | 06:03:37 |

| leona | ZHF started: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/403336 | 15:11:58 |
| leona | let's actually mention this in #dev:nixos.org too, then i got almost every place i think :D | 15:12:34 |
 raf | I've created https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/403348 (in response to the discourse post)
This gets the obvious typos out of the way, but I'll revise the documentation in full again to clarify word where/if necessary. Also taking a look at the nixpkgs document now. | 16:16:50 |

So uh - dropping ~10 years unmaintained leaf packages during freeze, yay or nay? | 08:15:48 |
 Alyssa Ross | In the past we haven't considered package removals to be breaking changes as I remember | 08:42:52 |
| leona | leaf package removals are okay | 08:43:21 |
| leona | espacially when they were already broken before | 08:43:44 |
| Alyssa Ross | It's not going to have unintended breaking consequences, which is the reason for the freeze. | 08:43:50 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | Alright, thanks for the clarification 👍️ | 08:46:55 |

 Vladimír Čunát | The 25.05 schedule says that we'll catch two more staging-next iterations, but that's very unrealistic.
I hope that in about a day the impact of the last merge will get resolved on Hydra, and then there will be like 9 days left, which is roughly the time to complete one staging-next iteration.
| 09:07:50 |
| Vladimír Čunát | (until the branch-off planned as 2025-05-16) | 09:08:44 |
| leona | yeah, let me update the schedule | 09:08:54 |
| Vladimír Čunát | * (until the branch-off planned for 2025-05-16) | 09:08:59 |
| leona | one more staging-next should be okay | 09:09:04 |
| Vladimír Čunát | We'll have some staging-next-25.05 later for sure, though that period is always a bit hard, as we'll be alternating between three different staging queues. | 09:10:16 |
| leona | Redacted or Malformed Event | 09:11:59 |
| leona | i think this would better represent reality | 09:12:05 |
