 leona | like IMO the freeze period has two goals
- restricting large impact/risk changes so that we have a good and high quality release
- Make it easier for people to prepare their downstream work to to make the switch to the next release easier
both isn't really applicable for this change, so this is fine for me

| leona | so if the option would've been introduced like 3 months back, I would be a bit more hesitant | 20:34:19 |

 dish [Fox/It/She] | yeah that makes sense, just wanted to get a quick check since I felt my logic was sound but didn't want to violate policies | 21:27:30 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | thank you ❤️ | 21:27:34 |

 mdaniels5757 | Any chance https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/452792 can be merged despite the breaking changes freeze? The dragonflydb package (which is a leaf) is currently three years out of date. | 11:46:03 |
| leona | wrote a comment in the PR | 17:27:17 |
|  eveeifyeve joined the room. | 19:19:04 |
| eveeifyeve | Hey what could I help to work on the release 25.11 in terms of code? | 19:19:47 |
| leona | soon we'll publish the ZHF announcement and that's the primary thing. If you notice broken packages, modules, etc. fix that | 19:24:48 |
| leona | otherwise there's probably not that much to do | 19:25:01 |
| eveeifyeve | What are some broken packages? | 19:25:05 |
| eveeifyeve | * What are some broken packages that are really important and no one has worked on? | 19:25:19 |
| leona | you can look at https://malob.github.io/nix-review-tools-reports/nixpkgs:trunk/nixpkgs_trunk_1819810.html | 19:25:38 |
| leona | (and then newer versions https://malob.github.io/nix-review-tools-reports/ -> nixpkgs:trunk) | 19:25:58 |
| leona | * (and for newer evals when they show up https://malob.github.io/nix-review-tools-reports/ -> nixpkgs:trunk) | 19:27:46 |
| eveeifyeve | I want to work on https://hydra.nixos.org/build/309554150 since that is important where can I find the areas to fix. | 19:27:53 |
| leona | have fun | 19:28:10 |
| leona | look that there is no PR currently open | 19:28:22 |
| leona | there is currently not more coordination to it afaik | 19:28:34 |
| eveeifyeve | Huh is it failing to download? | 19:31:49 |
| eveeifyeve | * Huh is it failing to download? Because I don't see the log file for the fail. | 19:32:42 |
