@leona:leona.isleonawith such a issue that takes a unknown amount of time to debug, no not a release blocker.08:29:30
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeveAlso could you please answer the nim question above?13:11:51
@leona:leona.isleona

sorry, I don't know what I should answer again. In https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/460946#issuecomment-3526986437 you said that nim1 is still in LTS mode, now you said it's not. With that I cannot give you a clear answer.

If nim1 is not maintained, you can probably now remove it from 25.11. If you need more time, mark it as vulnerable in 25.11. Please don't remove it in 25.05, just mark it as vulnerable if it's not maintained

13:20:32
@leona:leona.isleonaIf it's still maintained I would prefer keeping it for 25.1113:24:58
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeveIt's not maintained.13:34:16
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeve* It's not maintained so I will mark it vulnerable in 25.05 and remove it in 25.11.13:38:24

@leona:leona.isleona hi, getchoo , dish [Fox/It/She] do you need anything regarding the release notes? We plan to release sometime on Sunday 12:43:21
@leona:leona.isleonaalso how would you like to be named in the release blogpost? ^^12:44:21
@leona:leona.isleonaI started modifying the original release announcement at https://md.leona.is/ec3cH-kcThye6UGIhO-gqA#. It still needs some work before it will be a draft PR in the marketing repo12:49:40
@leona:leona.isleona

especially I'm unhappy with the

NixOS is already known as the most up to date distribution while also being the distribution with the most packages.

this sounds exactly like we want every possible package in Nixpkgs, which we should really not. If anything has a good idea..

12:50:19
@soenke:hack-hro.desoenkemaybe focus on fairly up to date with possibility to use newest packages where needej12:55:20
@soenke:hack-hro.desoenke* maybe focus on fairly up to date with possibility to use newest packages where needed12:55:40
@jopejoe1:matrix.orgjopejoe1 (4094@39c3)Note that that is not even fully true, we have the most in absolute numbers, but in the precantage count we are not even that good.12:57:03
@avocadoom:avocadoom.deavocadoom

Just a suggestions since I stumbled upon this:

Our vast and routinely maintained set of packages has also been updated. We:

  • added xxx new packages
  • updated xxx new packages
  • removed xxx packages in favor of scecurity and maintainability

@pyrox:pyrox.devdish [Fox/It/She]
In reply to @leona:leona.is
also how would you like to be named in the release blogpost? ^^

dish is fine as the name to use. please keep it fully lowercase though đź’ś

I'm gonna alphabetize the release notes in a PR today, unless it would be better to do that tomorrow or sunday.

15:55:02
@leona:leona.isleonaI think it's fine today15:55:33
@pyrox:pyrox.devdish [Fox/It/She]sounds good, I'll have that submitted soon15:56:30
@pyrox:pyrox.devdish [Fox/It/She]for the alphabetization PR, should I just PR to master with a backport to 25.11?20:17:21
@pyrox:pyrox.devdish [Fox/It/She]thats what I'm planning on doing20:20:23
@leona:leona.isleonayex20:20:36
@leona:leona.isleona* yes20:20:36
@pyrox:pyrox.devdish [Fox/It/She]opened and requested reviews20:21:02
@pyrox:pyrox.devdish [Fox/It/She]* opened and requested reviews so that y'all can find it20:21:07
@arianvp:matrix.orgArian

Not sure why but “latest-finished” link here https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixos/release-25.11/tested/#tabs-links gives a 404

which is breaking uploading AMIs: https://github.com/NixOS/amis/actions/runs/19773687466/job/56662615687?pr=325

Not sure what the difference is between latest-finished and latest tbh

21:01:20
@arianvp:matrix.orgArianOh seems all evals so far have a single job stuck ? https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixos/release-25.11/evals21:02:12
@arianvp:matrix.orgArian I can switch it to latest I guess. just odd that they all have a single job that is still in progress 21:03:02
@leona:leona.isleonaI restarted aborted builds in the latest eval, after previously aborting some on a wrong eval21:03:07
@leona:leona.isleonaThat’s probably the cause for the 1 pending build21:03:19
