1 PR merged fixing nsight_systems GUI, 3 PRs merged with package expression tidying and support for more releases (from CUDA legacy), and 1 PR ready to go for the changelog: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/456510

There are still a bunch of redist packages to introduce in CUDA legacy and find requirements for :/

Also still need to make a PR to drop all the packages with “withCuda” variants…

And then there’s the setup hook work 🫩

FYI, the update to the latest torch 2.9.0 was just merged!

Changelog: https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/releases/tag/v2.9.0

We also just added torchcodec a media decoder/encoder working along with PyTorch

You said upfront "The addition of CUDA 13 does not mean packages will suddenly work with CUDA 13. Expect breakages." I know I'm just a random bloke from GitHub an fairly new but I've had really bad burnout in the past, I'd suggest still doing a little bit of triaging and technical support here and there for the CUDA Team in strict time blocks, so you can at least see the fruits of your labour (given to the world, for free) as the breakages all get sorted out in the coming weeks in our collective efforts.

From my perspective I'm just excited about the prospect of using CUDA 13 with Nixpkgs, I've basicaly used nixos-unstable, sometimes master, since starting to use Nix, and still have no idea how the release cycle is supposed to work 🙃.

I reckon for the next big CUDA update, do something like how the haskell-updates branch gets merged into staging first.
