I don't see it specific to the release stuff but more like a event stream for anything relevant going on in nixpkgs would you feel that should replace adding an eval warning when evaluating deprecated releases, or should we maybe look at eventually having both? | 17:57:12 |
| raitobezarius | For an eval warning, I would fear that people would find this a bit obnoxious but I may be wrong though we can of course provide toggles and what not | 17:57:18 |
| Lily Foster | also just curious, are you thinking something like gentoo enews? | 17:57:23 |

also just curious, are you thinking something like gentoo enews? Yeah, news items but maybe not by email | 17:57:46 |
 Vladimír Čunát | They're per-package I think. | 17:57:59 |
| raitobezarius | It's not mutually exclusive | 17:58:12 |
| raitobezarius | I think we have per-module, per-package, per-release, per-architecture news | 17:58:23 |

For an eval warning, I would fear that people would find this a bit obnoxious but I may be wrong though we can of course provide toggles and what not (i mean i think the point is to be obnoxious given they, uh, need to upgrade. i was more worried it would go unnoticed because many people's systems already generate eval warnings for various reasons) | 17:58:23 |

(i mean i think the point is to be obnoxious given they, uh, need to upgrade. i was more worried it would go unnoticed because many people's systems already generate eval warnings for various reasons) Yeah my experience seems to indicate that people are already around some maximum of evaluation warnings and I don't think an extra one will encourage to upgrade because upgrade is more than often a process that requires fixing stuff in your configuration and usually people complain they cannot silence warnings | 17:59:08 |
| raitobezarius | It's hard to navigate in the space of evaluation warnings properly IMHO | 17:59:33 |

| Vladimír Čunát | I wonder about this kind of stable backports that look rather large to me:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/273040/files | 10:39:03 |
| raitobezarius | I asked a similar question on a similar PR | 11:19:09 |
| raitobezarius | I don't think I got a clear cut answer | 11:19:13 |

 hexa | we don't seem to have a 24.05 release blockers project | 17:50:01 |
| hexa | I tried to make a public project and failed | 17:52:21 |
| hexa | can apparently only create private ones | 17:52:28 |
| hexa | hm, the 23.11 one was private as well | 17:52:47 |
