 raf | Ross I just wanted to say that you are a cutie | 06:58:18 |
| raf | thats all | 06:58:20 |
| raf | be well | 06:58:23 |
 emily | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/352603 is pending a decision for 24.11 | 07:07:29 |
| emily | VirtualBox maintainer signed off on the idea and I think it's best to get it out of the critical path rather than keeping around a demo-only appliance that adds to the gigabytes of image-related channel bloat and has few advantages over the ISO most users will use | 07:08:37 |
| emily | especially since VirtualBox itself is so crusty (cf. this was in reaction to it breaking the channel because a QEMU change broke the installation procedure for our binary package of the non-Free 90s-vintage Open Watcom compiler that VirtualBox uses to compile its 16-bit BIOS code) | 07:09:26 |
| emily | (thankfully that chain of despair has been broken at multiple points already, but…) | 07:09:44 |
| emily | channel scripts will need deploying if it's approved; I will also make a PR to the homepage to remove that section for 24.11 in that case | 07:11:23 |

 Vladimír Čunát | I'd say we just merge it. (first the channel-scripts part) | 07:27:01 |
| Vladimír Čunát | It's been hanging there for over a week, not trying to hide, and I haven't noticed any argument against really. | 07:27:36 |
| emily | SGTM | 07:28:15 |
| emily | if you want to hit the button and deploy the scripts stuff | 07:28:29 |
| Vladimír Čunát | Today I feel overwhelmed, but I should do it this week if noone else steps in. | 07:31:09 |
| emily | no worries :) | 07:32:49 |
| emily | (I guess it's the infra team that has access to merging/deploying channel scripts PRs?) | 07:33:09 |
| Vladimír Čunát | Yes. This runs on pluto.nixos.org. | 07:33:46 |
 Paul Meyer (katexochen) | 2nd staging-next is open, are breaking changes already unrestricted on staging? | 13:43:43 |

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/352603 is pending a decision for 24.11 Oh, I didn't see this one on my feed lol. I'll take a look. | 16:35:14 |

| hexa | pkgs.formats.yaml was migrated to yaml 1.2 output in the last remarshal update | 18:01:28 |
| hexa | the output now unquotes certain outputs, that previously needed to be quoted in yaml 1.1 | 18:02:08 |
| hexa | which otoh means that when parsed by a yaml 1.1 parser will lead to unexpected results | 18:02:23 |
| hexa | $ cat test.json
{
"time": "22:30:00"
}
$ json2yaml test.json test.yaml

| emily | IIRC YAML 1.2 isn't that widely-adopted (though maybe that's changed?). is there a remarshal flag to use 1.1? | 18:03:31 |
| hexa | I'm contemplating whether to provide the remarshal package in an old version for yaml 1.1 support | 18:03:44 |
| hexa | and have a toggle for the formatter that switches the package around | 18:03:56 |
