 emily | but yeah I agree there's lots of overlap (but goes the other way too: means just focusing on aarch64-darwin still helps x86) | 13:55:33 |
 figsoda | would love some input on this, some modules based on formats.toml are currently broken, is moving on with this fix ok or should we revert to remarshal? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/513796#pullrequestreview-4203517624 | 15:41:07 |
 hexa | imo revert the offending commit for now and properly test the new solution post branch-off | 15:46:23 |

 Hythera | We currently have a regression with bluetoothctl on master and the unstable channels, which basically breaks everything relying on its functionality. There is https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/513361 fixing the issues and regression. Would be nice if someone could take a look at this and if it's relevant for the release. | 19:57:43 |

 yaya | thanks, approved and merged. | 06:45:32 |

|  jopejoe1 changed their display name from jopejoe1 (4094@epvpn) to jopejoe1. | 08:44:17 |
|  Ember changed their display name from Ember Void to Ember. | 15:21:41 |

| emily | how do we feel about https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/513844 for 26.05? it's a zero-rebuild fairly substantial perf improvement, it theoretically changes the behaviour of lib.systems.equals but only if you violate its stated calling contract, so nominally shouldn't be breaking | 23:09:10 |
| emily | I ask mainly because it did require an internal lib.systems test adjusting to not break that contract :) | 23:09:21 |

 kuflierl | Btw do we already have a name and logo for the 26.05 release? | 00:56:18 |
| hexa | xantusia | 01:50:32 |
| hexa | or was it yarara? | 01:50:46 |
| hexa | I hope you like snakes | 01:51:03 |
| kuflierl | Xantusia was the last release if I remember correctly | 01:51:29 |
| kuflierl | I was in the art group with some suggestions last time. I wonder how it looks this time | 01:52:35 |
 raf | I know and trust llakala with this kind of stuff, so I'm inclined to trust their PR when it comes to optimizing and doing so safely. | 05:20:43 |

|  phonkd joined the room. | 08:44:50 |
| yaya | Name is Yarara and a logo does not exist yet (I submitted a call-for-art in NixOS/branding#35) | 10:21:59 |

 vcunat | When nixpkgs-26.05-darwin gets created, we'll get a bit hit by the mess which we have in the channel-blocking package sets, as here it contains some packages which do not block nixpkgs-unstable (no idea why, really).
In particular, gimp2 and cabal2nix will probably turn out problematic. Ref: https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixpkgs/staging-next/darwin-tested#tabs-constituents
I suppose we mainly need to adjust the darwin channel-blocking package set, somehow.
| 12:27:01 |
| emily | I suppose it's a bit late to try implementing the jobset merge I proposed to fix that? (I figured 26.11 made more sense given the x86_64-darwin drop) | 13:34:42 |
| vcunat | That sounds like overkill for this particular thing. | 13:38:06 |
| vcunat | It's just about which set of packages is meant to be blocking. | 13:39:15 |
