 lennart | losing myself with the release notes editing sometimes, and finding myself here for example :D https://oracle-base.com/blog/2015/01/02/a-sql-or-an-sql/ | 04:10:35 |

https://www.redhat.com/de/blog/rhel-10-plans-wayland-and-xorg-server I'd still wait | 06:46:20 |
| raitobezarius | Wayland is not a full replacement for some usecases | 06:46:29 |
| raitobezarius | But we can probably tuck Xorg to become the minority of our usecases | 06:46:43 |
| raitobezarius | we should probably prepare a LWN short post for the release figsoda FYI | 07:06:23 |
| raitobezarius | I can take care of this if you want | 07:06:27 |
| raitobezarius | someday we will have our guest article if I can find a good writer | 07:06:40 |
 adamcstephens | Red Hat’s timelines allow Wayland to not be perfect for release adoption. The post even says you should stay on EL9 if you need Xorg | 12:56:18 |
| adamcstephens | They have probably until the release of EL11 in 5-6 years to fill the gaps | 12:59:22 |

I'd still wait they probably only support GNOME 🙂 | 13:51:38 |
| hexa | it is where they invest developer resources after all | 13:51:48 |
| hexa | so killing xorg is easier when you don't care about the diversity of window/deskopmanagers | 13:52:09 |
 Vladimír Čunát | I suspect it's mainly about them not wanting to officially support X, i.e. solve people's issues with it. | 13:53:33 |
| Vladimír Čunát | By which I mean that we have lots of stuff in nixpkgs that isn't really supported by anyone, but it's still there and it often works. | 13:54:54 |

I can take care of this if you want that would be awesome, thanks! | 14:36:36 |
| lennart | hi infinisil, we would like to drop the trunk-ng package announcement from the Release Notes. such announcements were not done before, but it's added to the New Services section for now. alejandrosame remembered that you kinda wanted it in the Notes though. there were like 16k of new packages added to NixOS 23.05. we would be highlighting such numbers in the announcement, but not individual packages in the Release Notes. OK? | 15:23:29 |
 infinisil | lennart: Sounds good to me! | 15:27:19 |
| infinisil | It would be great to have an overview of new packages in the future, but that would take some time to create | 15:27:48 |

It would be great to have an overview of new packages in the future, but that would take some time to create Ah missed that, yea we would want that too for the future! | 15:28:43 |
| lennart | We could ask the search time for such a feature maybe? Meaning search.nixos.org | 15:30:28 |
| lennart | * We could ask the search team for such a feature maybe? Meaning search.nixos.org | 15:30:37 |
| hexa | 16000 new packages between 23.05 and 23.11? | 17:48:27 |
| hexa | I have a hard time believing that number | 17:48:32 |
| lennart | yea me neither but thats what the announcement said | 17:48:48 |
| lennart | https://nixos.org/blog/announcements#nixos-23.05 | 17:49:01 |
| hexa | yeah, but it also said 13466 removed | 17:49:22 |
| lennart | sorry meant 22.11 to 23.05 | 17:49:35 |
| lennart | ah ack | 17:49:39 |
| hexa | I have a feeling we are talking package sets here | 17:49:40 |
| hexa | python39/310 changing to python310/311 adds/removes 6.8k packages for example 😄 | 17:50:12 |
