 msgilligan | Yes, and we should have openjfx25 (LTS) before 25.11. | 01:08:20 |
 emily | oh 23 is EOL | 01:08:23 |
| emily | so that's fun | 01:08:28 |
 Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Fun times | 01:09:15 |
| emily | Java ecosystem loves having 5 versions of things that are all super incompatible … and then also not supporting them | 01:09:20 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Why do we have so many OpenJFXes around again? | 01:09:51 |
| emily | people love using them :P | 01:12:00 |
| emily | https://gluonhq.com/products/javafx/ | 01:12:13 |
| emily | I believe this is authoritative for the support | 01:12:21 |
| msgilligan | Yeah, Java users in the real world want those old versions to be supported. And they pay companies like Gluon to provide it. | 01:12:44 |
| emily | so 23 is EOL. 24 doesn't require Gradle 7 and is not EOL, but will be soon, but we'll have 25 then | 01:12:51 |
| emily | so I guess… if we could drop the ones before 24 then that would be convenient. but it's also possible just bumping Gradle will work | 01:13:27 |
| emily | since I was just copying what the old packages did IIRC | 01:13:33 |
| emily | yeah, but no guarantee the fixes are public AIUI :( | 01:14:01 |
| emily | and JavaFX contains an entire WebKit | 01:14:11 |
| msgilligan | Yes, there's that too. | 01:14:13 |
| msgilligan | Yep, and WebKit oh my! | 01:14:27 |
| emily | (and from what I saw they don't seem to be fantastic at backporting upstream security fixes) | 01:14:32 |
| msgilligan | FX WebKit is separate (Java) module. I wonder if we have any packages that use it? | 01:16:17 |
| msgilligan | But since we seem to have consensus on merging the Gradle 9 PR as is, can we get some reviews? | 01:18:47 |
| msgilligan | Yes, thanks I would like to. I'm still have a lot to learn, but the best way to do that is to try to help out people who know more than me. And I have found the community to be very suppotive. | 01:21:35 |

| msgilligan | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/426903
This one fixes several CVEs and is over a month old. I tried to run nixpkgs-review pr 426903 against it locally but ran out of disk space. I don't yet understand the details of nixpkgs-review but I think it might help if the PR is rebased.
Can someone rebase and or review this PR?
| 19:46:56 |
| emily | nixpkgs-review on packages with that many dependencies is hopeless; it'll try to build too much stuff | 19:50:19 |
| emily | ofborg is happy though, so I'll merge | 19:50:37 |
| emily | I've spent several minutes trying to apply a backport label and been stymied by GitHub's UI being incredibly laggy. amazing. | 19:56:43 |
| msgilligan | Yeah, that been hitting me too. | 19:57:26 |
| msgilligan | I haven’t tried it on smaller repos yet today so I don’t know if it’s because of Nixpkgs’ size | 19:58:41 |
