 leona | There are some discussions of supporting releases longer, but tbh in the current state of the community and infra we probably cannot do this right now | 13:42:20 |
 emily | it's best to start getting ready for a release during the beta period | 14:05:45 |
| emily | or even pre-deploying it | 14:06:04 |
 hexa | personally, I start migration steps directly after branch-off | 14:06:48 |
| emily | the post-branch-off period is to allow people to get ready and test in advance (and it should also be comparably stable for deployment to the final) | 14:06:46 |
| emily | I don't think anyone likes the delays though :) | 14:07:08 |

| Vladimír Čunát | The big channels will catch up in about a day, I hope. But note that this iteration sadly also contained some breaking changes, as the schedule was a bit tight and didn't align too well. | 10:20:14 |

| hexa | nixos container tests are currently broken after the staging-merge. | 00:58:55 |
| hexa | honestly, one should be added to the tested set | 00:59:06 |

|  yaya changed the room topic to "26.05 "Yarara" | https://nixos.github.io/release-wiki/Home.html" from "25.11 "Xantusia" | https://nixos.github.io/release-wiki/Home.html". | 11:51:58 |
| hexa | this is now fixed and we're adding it to the tested set for unstable and unstable-small | 12:09:10 |
| hexa | kudos to zowoq for picking all that up | 12:09:21 |
