 leona | partly. freeze happened before and with the branch-off we unfreezed changes for unstable (25.11) | 07:50:12 |
 pzka | Well I see on hydra you have work to do. so good luck folks ! ❤️ | 07:51:37 |
 vcunat | The builds should be basically all in cache already, but it takes some time to go through them. | 07:52:37 |
|  terrorjack set a profile picture. | 08:54:00 |
| vcunat | The two linux channels are up now. I'd expect darwin to follow in several hours. | 13:41:28 |
| vcunat | I still see some cached 404s, but I think the lag here will be less than an hour. | 13:48:57 |
| leona | they were now purged from the cache | 14:07:55 |
 hexa | has the highlights section been cleaned up already? 🤔 | 21:01:29 |

| vcunat | The darwin channel now updated, too. | 05:40:58 |
 Winter | In reply to @hexa:lossy.network
has the highlights section been cleaned up already? 🤔 cc getchoo raf | 05:42:54 |
 getchoo | the nixos ones have been a bit in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/405961 and https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/406955
planning on another pass of it and taking a look at the nixpkgs one as well | 06:10:29 |
| leona | I think it’s more about what actually is a highlight. Can take a look at that today | 06:11:27 |
| Winter | yeah like there are stuff that’s in there rn that absolutely does not qualify as a highlight | 06:29:32 |

 raf | Good evening, is there anything that needs doing that I can take a look at? I've got some free time now, I'd like to make myself useful. | 23:49:42 |

| vcunat | There's always ZHF if nothing else:

 emily | leona: is it intentional that there's no branch-off-25.05 tag? | 06:46:08 |
| vcunat | The wiki says to add it later?
https://nixos.github.io/release-wiki/Final-Release.html#on-the-release-branch | 06:51:55 |
| leona | I created a 25.05-beta tag as the release wiki told me | 06:52:12 |
| leona | Last release was different in this regard but didn’t change anything in the release wiki tmk | 06:52:32 |
| emily | huh, I see! okay, sorry :) | 06:59:26 |
| emily | it seems… weird that -beta is the tag for branch-off and branch-off- is the tag for the release? | 06:59:47 |
| emily | (but I understand the wish to avoid direct versions as tags given the pitfalls, the name just confused me) | 07:00:01 |
| emily | (not suggesting any change for this cycle, but maybe 25.05-initial or something could be good, though confusing again with -beta. it's hard to find a word for "final" that doesn't suggest finality / like it should actually be used for deployments 😆) | 07:31:01 |
|  James McCorrie joined the room. | 07:35:40 |
| leona | maybe something like 25.05-branch-off instead of beta, and 25.05-initial-release | 07:38:00 |
| leona | nevertheless i write that one down for release retro | 07:38:21 |
| emily | those sound great to me :) | 07:43:49 |
| emily | though I may slightly prefer -beta for the former: it more strongly implies that the thing isn't "fully 25.05" yet, and it keeps consistency with existing tags (as opposed to branch-off having two meanings in tags, as confusing as the 24.11 one is) | 07:44:48 |
