 hexa | bash -> perl is not improvement | 15:53:26 |
 Janne Heß | C99 maybe | 15:55:19 |
 Linux Hackerman | I think you typoed C89 | 15:55:39 |
| hexa | might as well do it in PHP then | 15:56:31 |

 Vladimír Čunát | Perhaps worth considering to drop i686 ISO from the channel since 22.05? It's not the first time when some dependency got broken and people tend to be reluctant about fixing i686 builds. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/169281#issuecomment-1104468198 | 04:30:28 |
 tomberek | Some unstable floating point calculation?
The difference between step.newTokenBucketRate and retryTokenBucket.T_GetFillRate() is 0.0019530492986188364, which exceeds EPSILON, where
step.newTokenBucketRate evaluates to 3.452226,
retryTokenBucket.T_GetFillRate() evaluates to 3.4502729507013812, and
EPSILON evaluates to 9.9999999999999995e-07.
i'm hesitant to drop i686 because of a failing test like this

| Mic92 (Old) | I would expect that even arm64 exceed this by far. | 06:11:08 |

| Vladimír Čunát | Maybe CDN could have stats on the i686 ISO downloads? | 06:41:02 |

| Vladimír Čunát | Locally I was getting errors earlier during the build, as some of the compiler/linker steps apparently shot over the 4G RAM. Maybe higher --cores or $(nproc) was causing it. | 08:08:33 |

| Vladimír Čunát | Otherwise I'd have just disabled the test(s) on i686. | 08:09:59 |

Do we know how many users this target has? We could make a gh issue and Pin it | 11:43:38 |

| Vladimír Čunát | So I hacked around it for now (by platform-specific downgrade), and thus it's perhaps easy to keep it for 22.05, but it might be worth considering to drop after forking off (and thus for > 22.05). | 10:53:22 |
| Vladimír Čunát | BTW, having nixos.tests.zfs.installer.i686-linux in channel-blocking set seems really absurd. | 10:55:58 |
| 25 Apr 2022 |
| Mic92 (Old) | Agreed. zfs is not really suited for 32-bit let alone legacy x86 | 07:16:57 |

 cdepillabout | I have a question about the release process of 22.05. If I maintain a relatively leaf package (in this case, the PureScript compiler), and a new major version has just been released, am I currently allowed to bump purescript to the new version in Nixpkgs? From https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/165792, it looks like there are various periods where breaking changes are not allowed, but I wasn't sure which part of this process refers to the leaf packages that have few dependencies. | 04:19:10 |

I believe that's the "Restrict all breaking changes" (except desktop managers) tomorrow. After that you could add a new version without switching the default. | 06:14:39 |
