 hexa | flox stable nixpkgs is still stuck on aug 27th https://github.com/flox/nixpkgs | 16:50:13 |
| hexa | not sure who can effectively poke them | 16:50:23 |
 Robbie Buxton | @apyh pr is here https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/446105 | 17:36:25 |
 SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | Yes, I'm really embarrassed to say, but python3Packages.tensorflow has been defaulting to tensorlfow-bin for about a year now... and from what I've heard, even that is a PITA during upgrades | 23:30:50 |
| SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | Soooo turns out flox-stable has nothing to do with nixos-stable | 23:31:25 |
| hexa | so what do they build for nixos-stable then? | 23:32:29 |
| SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | It's a tad confusing, but uhh they follow nixos-unstable, and when it passes the tests, they merge it into flox/staging, and when that passes more tests that's merged into flox/stable 🙃 | 23:32:45 |
| hexa | so no relationship to release-25.05 whatsoever | 23:33:03 |
| hexa | so stable users are fckd | 23:33:13 |
| SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | I asked them about building the release channels, didn't get a positive reaction yet | 23:33:26 |
| SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | I'll go ping one more time | 23:33:47 |
| hexa | zowoq restored the cuda-stable jobset until 25.05 eol | 23:33:49 |
| hexa | so there is some time | 23:33:58 |
| hexa | but boy, do I not like the new deal | 23:34:05 |
| SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | We'll fix it | 23:36:21 |
| SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | I heard it's all paracetomol-induced autism | 23:42:11 |

It's a tad confusing, but uhh they follow nixos-unstable, and when it passes the tests, they merge it into flox/staging, and when that passes more tests that's merged into flox/stable 🙃 A tad confusing indeed.
These stabilities are not describing the stability of the software that is contained, but the rate at which the software changes:
flox/unstable is rebased (almost) daily to the current nixos-unstable.
Every two weeks, that flox/staging is reset to that days unstable, every first Saturday of a month flox/stable is reset to the last staging. I.e. flox stable lags behind nixos-unstable by about 6weeks. | 08:40:59 |

 connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) | If anyone has stuff they use to verify or test releases, give it a try with https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/437723, it’s nearing ready for review | 05:01:50 |
