| amiablechief | Hi all, quick question. I first installed 24.05 and then at some point switched from channel- to flake-based (including home manager) configuration. Is there anything special I need to do to 'upgrade' to 24.11 when it releases? | 18:27:20 |

Hi all, quick question. I first installed 24.05 and then at some point switched from channel- to flake-based (including home manager) configuration. Is there anything special I need to do to 'upgrade' to 24.11 when it releases? Upgrading should be pretty straightforward. | 18:34:37 |
| Tristan Ross | It usually is | 18:34:42 |
| Tristan Ross | If something changes that gives you a new error, check the manual. | 18:35:04 |
| Tristan Ross | The only ones I know of off the top of my head are related to graphics and sound | 18:35:44 |
 Vladimír Čunát | With the flake you just follow the channel anyway, I expect. (i.e. the nixos-24.05 branch right now) I don't really see a difference here, only a slight change in how you get the commit and somewhat more freedom in that with flakes. | 19:05:45 |

| amiablechief | That's what I suspected/expected. Thanks for replying. | 20:03:12 |

 infinisil | I think I'm too late to get it into the initial release, but I'll try to write lib release notes today (as I've also done the past 2 releases) | 15:08:42 |
| infinisil | Done: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/359887 | 16:27:03 |

| Tristan Ross | getchoo & getpsyched: how ready are you guys for the release? The 24.11 staging cycle which blocked things just got merged so I'm doing the final things before the release. | 20:08:07 |
 getpsyched | AFAIK this is the relevant PR that awaits:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/359887 | 20:09:32 |
| getpsyched | Oh, already mentioned above. | 20:09:49 |
| Tristan Ross | Yeah, I've already been aware of it heh | 20:13:19 |
 getchoo | i believe some people from the wiki.nixos.org may have wanted a section in the release notes? (the nixpkgs.lib PR above reminded me)
but AFAIK they haven't reached out to either of us since. i'll ping them in #wiki:nixos.org and double check, but i don't think it'd be a blocker | 20:23:48 |
| infinisil | Btw just made https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/359949, not super important though | 20:24:11 |
| infinisil | (In a previous release we struggled with the release notes not matching on the different branches) | 20:25:11 |
| getchoo | would making sure that's in sync post branch-off be something good to add to the release wiki? | 20:36:02 |
| infinisil | 💯 | 20:36:13 |
| getchoo | making a PR now :) | 20:36:24 |
| infinisil | Well in this case it got out of sync after the branch-off | 20:36:49 |
| infinisil | Perhaps there should be some automation that always checks for a diff between master and all the releases, and makes a PR to match it if not | 20:37:50 |
