 Whovian9369 | My flake is https://github.com/Whovian9369/aaru-nix-flake (Updating it which is why I'm encountering this)
Upstream is https://github.com/aaru-dps/Aaru
global.json was introduced with https://github.com/aaru-dps/Aaru/commit/8ee0926210df8e3a443456b567e17ad6f319125f | 22:50:07 |
 6pak | that global.json doesn't make much sense | 22:50:55 |
| 6pak | it would be better to rollForward=latestPatch (aka 9.0.1xx instead) to still receive bug fixes while avoiding bumping the feature band | 22:52:07 |
| 6pak | * it would be better to rollForward=latestPatch (aka 9.0.1xx) to still receive bug fixes while avoiding bumping the feature band | 22:52:16 |
| 6pak | * it would be better to rollForward=latestPatch (aka 9.0.1xx) to still receive bug fixes assuming avoiding the feature band bump was the intention | 22:53:01 |
| Whovian9369 | Are you saying in respect to what Upstream should do, or what I should do for my Nix packaging? | 22:53:28 |
| 6pak | what upstream should do | 22:53:50 |
| 6pak | you probably should just ^ | 22:53:57 |
| 6pak | global.json doesn't really matter because you specify the sdk version in nix anyway | 22:54:26 |
| 6pak | and if the build really breaks (or anything other unwanted) on 9.0.2xx, just specify sdk_9_0_1xx in nix | 22:55:07 |
| Whovian9369 | I imagine this would still be an issue with rollForward=latestPatch due to our dotnet version being newer, but I'd agree (from my non-programming background) that it sounds like a reasonable suggestion.

| 22:55:26 |
| 6pak | * and if the build really breaks (or anything other unwanted happens) on 9.0.2xx, just specify sdk_9_0_1xx in nix | 22:55:31 |
| Whovian9369 | Cool, thank you very much! | 22:55:33 |
| 6pak | you'd specify sdk_9_0_1xx then, yeah | 22:56:16 |
| Whovian9369 | Thank you for the thoughts! | 22:57:15 |
| 6pak | fyi (at least for now) the 1xx feature band is supported for the whole .net version lifetime | 22:57:15 |
| 6pak | while 2xx and 3xx get EOLed until you land on 4xx | 22:57:27 |
| Whovian9369 | That seems interesting. | 22:57:59 |
| 6pak | because source build officially supports only 1xx | 22:58:36 |
| 6pak | so newer feature bands are MS binaries only | 22:58:51 |
| 6pak | * so later feature bands are MS binaries only | 22:58:58 |
