@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyalso, Randy is going to be unavailable starting ~10 days from now, so we should get to any issues ASAP.18:34:06
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatRushing big features late. That's a tension before all NixOS stable releases.18:37:41
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyindeed18:42:05
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyin this case, it's not so much a feature as a vital refactor18:42:18
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyDarwin support desperately needs it to be viable; we rushed the 12.3 SDK as an interim measure and we've already had major packages (QEMU, Qt) be unable to be updated without it18:42:41
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilythose two projects don't support 12 officially, so we could easily end up in trouble within 6 months even doing security updates18:43:19
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyit's also going to be painful to do backports across different macOS SDK patterns, so landing it early next cycle would be really bad for 24.11 in general18:43:47
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyI think everyone would have preferred this to be happening a month ago but you know how things go18:44:02
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode Two months to develop and land is about what I expected. I wish I had been able to start this sooner, but it took some time to get the cctools and ld64 updates landed. 19:43:20
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode While I lost some time due to poor Git hygiene and cleaning up my branch, I don’t think it would have made the current cycle regardless. 19:44:03

@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode That’s the flake I used for testing, which took half a week to build. I feel pretty about what kind of breakage to expect. 19:45:12
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode If you just take framework packages, you are fine in most cases. If you use autotools, you may need help linking libiconv because you forgot to do that in `Makefile.am`. If you care about framework internals, you need updated to know about `$SDKROOT`. 19:46:42
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode * If you just take framework packages, you are fine in most cases. If you use autotools, you may need help linking libiconv because you forgot to do that in Makefile.am. If you care about framework internals, you need updated to know about $SDKROOT. 19:47:14
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode (I also lost a ~week to fixing Swift because that is an ugly and slow build process.) 19:48:10
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode And yes, my availability after the 18th unlikely. My wife is scheduled for induction that evening. It could get pushed back a few weeks, but we don’t know yet (but assume not). After that, I’ll probably not have time beyond maybe checking Matrix while taking care of the baby. 19:50:01

@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyplease don't check Matrix too often :)20:09:09
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyI promise to do my best to solve any issues that come up that aren't far beyond my pay grade.20:09:24
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatThat formulation feel weird when you don't actually get paid for it :-D20:30:13
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilywait, you haven't been receiving my invoices?20:31:31

@sigmasquadron:matrix.orgSigmaSquadronI'm still puzzled as to why they said these things about you. The few interactions I've had with you on the infra channel have been nothing but positive!00:03:29
@hexa:lossy.networkhexathe person on the off-topic room?01:49:43
@hexa:lossy.networkhexathey failed to map my nickname to my github account 🙂 01:50:02
