 tomberek | But I can if we think it's a good start | 16:37:30 |
 jonringer | Just to be explicit, by schedule I'm referring to https://nixos.github.io/release-wiki/Release-Process-Walkthrough.html and just walking backward from the friday "target" date :) | 16:41:21 |

there doesn't seem to be a Gnome/GTK section in the codeowners file. Would @jtojnar still be the one to ping? check maintainer teams | 16:46:09 |

 lukegb (he/him) | The x86_64-darwin runners are still basically broken on Hydra and not really managing to build anything. Is this a blocking issue for 21.11? :p | 12:13:12 |
| nrdxp | well that's certainly not ideal, but NixOS is a Linux distro so I guess it's not a blocker in the traditional sense | 15:28:02 |

The x86_64-darwin runners are still basically broken on Hydra and not really managing to build anything. Is this a blocking issue for 21.11? :p I would say it's outside of scope for a release. | 21:03:58 |
| jonringer | although, grahamc (he/him) , this should probably be resolved | 21:04:10 |
| jonringer | Also, it's awkward to say, "The NixOS 21.11 release was delayed because of MacOS" | 21:04:36 |
| nrdxp | not sure how the macs are setup here, but we have a pretty nice setup at work that allows us to configure our Macs in a psuedo declarative style by running them in qemu on nixos as systemd services on actual mac hardware (for legal reasons).
It allows us to simply restart the service which will destory the existing state, reload a new one from a pristine zfs snapshot of the OSX install, and then run a script that install nix, nix-darwin and then loads our darwin config like a virtual nixos-rebuild. It's almost as nice as using NixOS, but debugging is more painful.
Anyway, maybe such a setup would be beneficial here?

 [0x4A6F] | Might be similar to this setup? | 21:59:18 |

| nrdxp | anyone with detailed knowledge of the Mac setup wanna chime in here?
