| raphi | question: feature freeze is at 2022-10-31
the github issue (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/193585) says that the affected branches are staging and staging-next, this would imply that breaking changes to master are allowed, which seems weird to me. i'd expect breaking changes are also prohibited in master. is my understanding correct, or are breaking changes still allowed in master after that date? | 20:37:42 |

I think the middle section of this comment sums it up: https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/85#issuecomment-812288951 | 20:40:14 |
| Janne Heß |
For clarification, this has no implication on master. The changes to master should be able to be captured for each PR, and we can effectively move "green to green". These restrictions are more in regard to staging, where most PRs we may verify by building just a downstream package and/or run a test or two to verify it's not "absolutely broken"; but these often cause other packages to break.

| Mic92 | Winter (she/her): I had a look yesterday at the release notes. I think from all package upgrade a summarized changelog based on the nix changelogs posted in discourse would read the most interesting. | 07:53:13 |

"from all package upgrade"? Sorry, this was not clear at all. I edited my previous response. I was already doing something else while writing this. | 11:42:34 |
| Mic92 | Are you on NixCon by chance? | 11:43:11 |

Are you on NixCon by chance? Assuming you're asking about attending in-person. no. | 11:45:12 |

Sorry, this was not clear at all. I edited my previous response. I was already doing something else while writing this. Makes sense now, and agreed -- I'm just mainly concerned about some wording. But we can figure that out later. | 11:45:41 |
| Mic92 | Get the words out and than I make a read through. I also have some software for improving writeups that works great. | 11:46:15 |
| Winter (she/her) | Oh? What is it, if I may ask? | 11:47:15 |

 sterni | Why is there no 22.11-pre tag yet? are they only created at branch off? Seems a bit annoying that git describe and nixos-version give different results for the same commit | 19:43:19 |
| sterni | i.e. 22.11pre415026.598f83ebeb2 vs 22.05-pre-81519-g598f83ebeb2 | 19:43:45 |
| hexa | master is tagged with 22.11-pre after the 22.05 branch-off | 19:45:32 |
