 Sandro 🐧 | I mean it even took me over an hour of debugging with prior knowledge of the same issue in a different place | 12:35:28 |

We just shouldn't push this a week before release when manually testing is required I agree that we should revert the pcre2 switch in 24.11. That was clearly premature. | 18:07:15 |

 Tristan Ross | Starting the release process | 15:04:10 |
| Tristan Ross | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/359948 this PR failed to backport and I don't have the time to backport manually | 15:05:16 |
| Tristan Ross | I found time to backport it | 15:42:18 |
| Tristan Ross | Nixpkgs related stuff for release is done, just needs the homepage & infra PR's merged | 15:42:45 |
 Vladimír Čunát | Cancelling the last two jobs in nixpkgs-24.11-darwin, so that the channel can advance. (it's ~12 days old right now) | 16:29:47 |
| Vladimír Čunát | They were probably stuck anyway, running for many hours already. | 16:30:10 |
| Tristan Ross | Alright | 16:31:24 |
| Tristan Ross | The last thing is the NixOS search needs an update but I can't do it on my phone lol. | 16:31:54 |
| Tristan Ross | I'll make a Discourse post tonight after work. | 16:32:08 |
| Tristan Ross | All the PR's necessary are done at least. | 16:32:25 |

The last thing is the NixOS search needs an update but I can't do it on my phone lol. I can follow some task descriptions, if you like. | 16:40:01 |

| Tristan Ross | Oh lol, that might do it | 16:41:26 |
| tomberek | (I presumed it's the same thing to the CI job.) We have to force push to it in order for a deploy to happen. | 16:43:12 |
| Tristan Ross | The download page has the 24.11 ISO's now at least | 16:48:07 |
| Vladimír Čunát | All the three 24.11 channels are fresh now. | 17:11:44 |
| Vladimír Čunát | (at most ~2 days old commits) | 17:12:38 |
| Tristan Ross | Well it seems I timed the release good at least. | 17:18:07 |
| Tristan Ross | Recently it was mentioned to me that we should extend the release schedule time in the future as nixpkgs is getting bigger so getting things ready might take longer. | 18:20:51 |
| Vladimír Čunát | staging-* speed was very different from what the schedule expects. | 18:31:16 |
| Vladimír Čunát | Around this end of year we'll be replacing most of build infra's machines, so the speed could change significantly (for better or worse). | 18:32:15 |
| Tristan Ross | Hmm, it also might've helped if we had more testing before the curl regression | 18:47:02 |

Recently it was mentioned to me that we should extend the release schedule time in the future as nixpkgs is getting bigger so getting things ready might take longer. Yes, I remember a few of x.05 releases in June. And I think 23.11 was released in December as well. And 30th of November is very much cutting it close. I was pondering on the idea of maybe adding a week to a few of the release process steps | 19:05:18 |
 Ramses 🇵🇸 | @rosscomputerguy:matrix.org: https://nixos.org/blog/announcements/2024/nixos-2411/ mentions vicuna as the release name | 19:13:29 |

@rosscomputerguy:matrix.org: https://nixos.org/blog/announcements/2024/nixos-2411/ mentions vicuna as the release name isn't that the correct one? I believe warbler is 25.05 | 19:14:36 |
