riotbib | could someone change the topic to 24.05 "Uakari"? | 12:11:08 |
riotbib | (this is lennart, I regained access to my old Matrix account) | 12:11:46 |
| Weijia changed the room topic to "24.05 "Uakari" | https://nixos.github.io/release-wiki/Home.html" from "23.11 "Tapir" | https://nixos.github.io/release-wiki/Home.html". | 12:11:56 |

ma27 | so I just realized that postgresql12 will be EOL on nov 14 which is within the supported range of 24.05. opinions on removing/keeping it? we're past the breaking change restriction of may 1 already.
also am I right with my interpretation of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/303285 that current staging will be merged into staging-next and that's the second staging cycle for 24.05? asking for a few postgresql updates. | 09:10:05 |
hexa | we have on staging cycle remaining before branch-off | 09:13:55 |
hexa | * we have one staging cycle remaining before branch-off | 09:14:00 |
hexa | and I'm pro removal of postgresql12 🙂 | 09:14:39 |
Alyssa Ross | oh right — do package removals count as breaking changes? I have a couple I've been holding off on merging because I wasn't sure. | 09:49:13 |
VladimÃr ÄŒunát | I'd say they do, at least if the packages worked, etc. (there will be some gray cases surely) | 09:51:54 |
Weijia | I guess yes, but I won't block them if they're considered pre-release cleanups. | 09:52:33 |
Weijia | https://nixos.github.io/release-wiki/Feature-Freeze-Announcement.html#pre-release-cleanup | 09:52:52 |
Alyssa Ross | aha okay | 09:53:21 |
Alyssa Ross | I'm thinking of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/308820 and https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/310170, so I guess both of those would be fine? | 09:53:44 |
Weijia | Yeah | 09:54:48 |
hexa | thunderbird 102 is a big security nono 🙂 | 15:58:47 |
hexa | we can't keep it around | 15:58:54 |
hexa | the alternative would be to mark it vulnerable and remove it post branchoff | 15:59:25 |
Alyssa Ross | it's been marked vulnerable since september IIRC | 16:02:22 |
Alyssa Ross | i.e. we forgot to remove it after the last branch-off | 16:03:02 |
