@piegames:matrix.org@piegames:matrix.orgJust a random idea, what if the automatic migration skipped all packages with open PRs at first to not make any conflicts? Then do one or two more such runs in the hope of catching some more packages, and then the assumption is that everything left is mostly old stuff that is allowed to conflict09:03:19
@rick:matrix.ciphernetics.nlRick (Mindavi)I thought the migration would take care of that by giving git enough hints? Or doesn't that work (well enough)?10:27:54
@piegames:matrix.org@piegames:matrix.orgWell yes but it still requires rebasing10:28:21
@piegames:matrix.org@piegames:matrix.orgNot sure how many PRs are even affected, and if it's worth it. Just an idea10:28:37
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil piegames: Hmm yeah I discussed this before, my main argument for not doing this is the complexity of doing so 10:32:42
@piegames:matrix.org@piegames:matrix.orgWhat complexity? (not rhetorical question)10:33:14
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilI wonder if it's worth it, because rebase PR's should be fairly quick on an individual basis, whereas implementing this requires searching through all PR's (automated of course), and then adding those to an exception list or something, having to decide when to do it anyways10:33:49
@piegames:matrix.org@piegames:matrix.orgThough I'd be interested in some numbers here, like how many pull requests and how many packages are affected by this anyways? How many of these pull requests are younger than three months?10:34:49
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilAnd how many PR's will not have to rebase because of this? I guess the turn-over rate is fairly high, just waiting some weeks probably gets a high percentage10:34:56
@profpatsch:augsburg.oneprofpatschpiegames: I had the same idea during nixcon, but honestly I think it’s totally feasible to require PRs to be rebased on top of master10:35:42
@profpatsch:augsburg.oneprofpatschSince that parallelizes well10:35:48
