 emily | FWIW "drop source, mark binary" is how Electron maintainers handle EOLs | 03:48:32 |
 msgilligan | My project will survive no matter what the NixOS JVM team decides, but I really like Nix, want to provide feedback and help as I can, and use Nix as fully as possible in my build. I'm also eventually hoping to get some Java apps into nixpkgs. If the human and infrastructure resources are sufficient for keeping the built-from-source packages in | 03:54:17 |
| msgilligan | I also will try to learn various methods for testing PRs and pre-release branches as much as possible (and how to automate this on some of my systems, if possible) | 04:01:01 |
| msgilligan | If anyone has any pointers to good references on how to do this, it would be appreciated. Especially anything that is Java or Rust focused (I also have some Rust projects I am trying to Nix-ify) I guess I could try to configure GitHub and/or GitLab to pull from release branches, for example. And maybe automatically do | 04:06:22 |

 Tomodachi94 (they/them) | (I'd be willing to vouch for you if you want to be put onto the Java team; I'm probably not the only one who thinks you'd make a great addition) | 04:20:14 |

| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | On the testing PRs bit, our CONTRIBUTING.md is quite good nowadays: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#how-to-review-pull-requests As for testing prerelease branches, we have a system called Hydra which builds packages automatically once they're promoted to a channel. Here's some more information: https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Channel_branches | 04:26:46 |

| emily | In reply to @tomodachi94:matrix.orgI mostly just don't have the time, I'm afraid :) | 12:18:30 |
| emily | I'm happy to try and take a look at stuff I'm pointed out, and do specific bits of work when they dovetail with other stuff I want to do, but if I try to track all the day to day Java stuff I'll just drop the ball on stuff more than I already do | 12:19:03 |
| emily | FWIW I don't think JDK patch updates need more testing than confirming build and maybe a brief perusal of advisories/release notes | 12:20:39 |
| emily | just needs someone keeping track of them (r-ryantm sometimes has issues and isn't always the fastest) and a committer who can allocate the time to merging them | 12:21:33 |
 raboof | Jup. While I think everyone wants to run newer JDKs, many libraries want to support running on JDK8, and the easiest way to achieve that is by building on JDK8 - building with a newer JDK than the target JDK only became reliable when targeting JDK9 onwards... | 14:15:38 |
| raboof | I wonder if it'd be easier to drop jdk11 than it'd be to drop jdk8 | 14:17:02 |
| raboof | no promises but feel free to request reviews from me on (especially already-maintainer-reviewed) Java PRs for merge | 14:19:06 |

| emily | samasaur: could you maybe take a look at https://hydra.nixos.org/build/294329205/nixlog/1 ? | 10:15:17 |
| emily | looks like it was caused by your PR | 10:16:30 |
 samasaur | ah i see it | 20:25:09 |
| samasaur | looks like it has already been fixed: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/7a14f3c857ac979132b782e82b0f5979a833dcc3 | 20:25:14 |
| emily | yeah we were discussing it in #staging:nixos.org | 20:32:40 |
| samasaur | I'm not sure how that happened, I know I tested building these locally, and I can't really imagine how this bug would have been introduced when I rebased onto stagin | 20:32:51 |
| samasaur | * I'm not sure how that happened, I know I tested building these locally, and I can't really imagine how this bug would have been introduced when I rebased onto staging | 20:32:54 |
| samasaur | just checked and apparently the symlink was broken before my rebase too but the build was successful anyway? baffling | 20:55:46 |
| emily | oh, I think the symlink check was tweaked for Darwin this cycle | 20:59:24 |
