 vcunat | Ideally we'd cut the breaking changes to release-critical packages now already, not moved to the weekend. | 15:11:53 |
| vcunat | Or leave them to more careful approval. | 15:12:36 |
| vcunat | But I think most of the relevant people know staging-next + release scheduling and the need to get breaking changes early. | 15:13:10 |
| vcunat | * But I think most of the relevant people know staging-next + release scheduling and the need to get breaking changes early anyway. | 15:13:14 |
 leona | For me this would be fine. As far as I understood it, most people just wanted to move breaking changes to non release critical packages further back. But I leave that also up to jopejoe1 | 15:14:10 |

|  @pfpoitras:matrix.org left the room. | 04:51:31 |
 jopejoe1 | No strong opinion on that, but from what i understood there where also some changes to release critical packages people wanted to get in. | 20:02:39 |
|  dwd joined the room. | 20:55:35 |
| dwd changed their display name from Peri to dwd. | 20:55:57 |

| dwd | Ahoy hoy, a bunch of packages just broke in unstable due to not having updated to cmake 3.5, is that going to be reflected in 25.11 or is it going to wait until 26.05? | 16:21:55 |
| vcunat | Current master is 25.11. | 16:23:57 |
| vcunat | You can see the fork-off in the schedule | 16:24:16 |
| dwd | ah ok | 16:24:21 |
| vcunat | * You can see the branch-off in the schedule | 16:24:39 |
| vcunat | in a couple weeks: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/443568 | 16:24:45 |
 kuflierl | That sounds like a significant issue, maybe keep the old version as default? | 16:25:02 |
| vcunat | * in a several weeks: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/443568 | 16:25:12 |
| vcunat | I'd say that ship has sailed. There was hope to reduce this a lot during ZHF. | 16:25:39 |
| vcunat | * in several weeks: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/443568 | 16:25:53 |
| jopejoe1 | We have the ZHF phase of the release to work on fixing those | 16:25:59 |
| leona | Also, we need to update at some point and reverting this and delaying even further won’t help anyone | 16:26:08 |
| vcunat | Well, if I knew how it will go, I would've preferred to delay it by several months. | 16:26:50 |
| vcunat | As I don't see much benefits from having the newer cmake as default. | 16:27:03 |
| vcunat | But at this point I'd say it's way too late to revert. | 16:27:14 |
| vcunat | (and it doesn't seem that bad; lots of work has gone into fixes already) | 16:27:32 |
| kuflierl | In reply to @vcunat:matrix.org
Well, if I knew how it will go, I would've preferred to delay it by several months. Maybe not several months but just after the branch off | 16:27:33 |
| vcunat | That wouldn't ease the amount of work for contributors which was my primary concern. | 16:28:15 |
| vcunat | * That wouldn't ease the amount of work for contributors, which was my primary concern. | 16:28:30 |
| vcunat | Fixes will typically be easy per package, and eligible for backporting, of course. | 16:29:41 |
