I'd love to give it a try for the forseeable future, becuase it is a really good exercise, and i already learned a ton :) I had a background working with youtube thumbnails, then UI for some of my projects and like a few logos. This is another level!

@robert:funklause.dedotlambdaWhere can I find the definition of "release critical packages"?01:43:45
@jopejoe1:matrix.orgjopejoe1 (4094@39c3)We currently track the definition and which ones it applies to on https://nixos.github.io/release-wiki/Release-Critical-Packages.html#list-of-release-critical-packages01:49:53
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatIt would be best if the release schedule had a hyperlink to that page.06:32:37

leona: jopejoe1: are we okay giving a freeze exemption to breaking changes that only affect override interfaces of specific packages, within the next ~week?

my feeling is that it should be fine, because we generally don't give very strong stability guarantees to override interfaces in general – e.g. every time we backport a version bump that drops a no-longer-used dependency we break override interfaces on stable

context is https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/445668 and possibly https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/453948

(the former is zero rebuilds and only changes override interfaces, though there will be a follow-up clean-up on staging that will cause rebuilds and slightly change the meaning of e.g. llvmPackages.override on Darwin, but it needs a few more changes before it's ready to land so checking re: the deadline)
