 John Ericson | don't worry about it :) | 17:56:17 |
 Sandro | They could also be thrown into the maintainer teams. Than we can use them in derivation and so, too. | 22:44:31 |
 Janne Heß | I will try tomorrow if I find the time | 22:44:58 |

| Janne Heß | Second attempt with the teams list and a script: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/165978 | 12:27:08 |

this feels like something that should be done once every release and a release manager wiki entry could be helpful to make sure it happens What timespan should that be? Everything older than 1 year prior to the expected release date? (so June 2021 for 22.05) | 18:20:14 |
 hexa | I think it has two stages: 1) convert aliases to throws 2) remove throws | 18:20:57 |
| Janne Heß | ah right… I didn't look at the mentioned PR | 18:21:56 |
| Janne Heß | * ah right… I didn't look at the mentioned PR too much | 18:21:58 |
| hexa | a throw is the first user-facing action unless you've disabled aliases | 18:22:00 |
| Janne Heß | So since this is the first release with that logic, we don't remove any aliases this time? | 18:22:18 |
| Janne Heß | I have this for the wiki now:
- Remove old aliases that have been `throw`s for at least one release. There is
a script in the nixpkgs tree to do that:
`maintainers/scripts/remove-old-aliases.py --file
./pkgs/top-level/aliases.nix --year 2019 --month 6`
The conversion to `throw`s is usually done in one big Pull Request so you can
remove all aliases from the date prior to this Pull Request. [Example of the
2022 throw conversion](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/161146).

| hexa | fwiw: i think the 22.05 milestone is a great tool to mark things for bulk closure after the release | 16:32:41 |

fwiw: i think the 22.05 milestone is a great tool to mark things for bulk closure after the release are you alluding to the fact I closed the old milestones? 👀 | 16:33:45 |
| hexa | uh, no. It was just about the discussion whether to use the project or the milestone | 16:34:17 |
| Janne Heß | whew | 16:34:22 |
| hexa | oh, you can filter for both projects and milestones in issuestasks | 16:34:37 |
| hexa | * oh, you can filter for both projects and milestones in issues and prs | 16:35:05 |
 tomberek | as part of ZHF this release I'll be looking at minimizing eval failures as well | 18:12:36 |
