kaynetik | What would you do if OfBorg check for darwin is stuck for 5+ days on a new PR? | 05:29:34 |
K900 | Nothing, that's kind of expected | 05:31:06 |
K900 | There is not nearly enough capacity there to keep up with the queue | 05:31:15 |
kaynetik | Oh I'm new as a maintainer | 05:31:19 |
kaynetik | So still learning the ropes | 05:31:38 |
kaynetik | and usually how long does a darwin-rebuild PR take to get in the queue? | 05:32:45 |
kaynetik | * and usually how long does a darwin-rebuild PR take to get executed, from the moment it gets onto the queue? | 05:33:10 |
K900 | Could be a very long time | 05:33:47 |
K900 | It's not blocking the merge though | 05:33:52 |
kaynetik | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/498766 | 05:39:38 |
kaynetik | well in my case it is, unless I'm blind to it | 05:39:53 |
kaynetik | K900: thanks for quick responses, I appreciate it 🫡 | 05:40:30 |
emily | the bot comment shows the reasons it's not being merged | 05:42:11 |
kaynetik | yep, seen it. So I guess I'd have to wait for either auto-merge, or for the existing maintainer to manually merge | 05:42:48 |
emily | there is no auto-merge :) | 05:44:27 |
kaynetik | any advice then, do I create a separate PR to first make myself a maintainer, and then rework the existing one to only touch the pkgs/by-name ? | 05:46:16 |
emily | oh, I missed that khaneliman actually hit auto-merge | 05:47:35 |
emily | it's not blocked because of Darwin, it's blocked because some of the jobs got skipped for some reason | 05:48:01 |
emily | kicked CI, maybe that'll fix it | 05:48:18 |
kaynetik | you the best! | 05:48:50 |
kaynetik | thanks | 05:48:51 |
kaynetik | btw what would be a good resource to read up on to properly introduce new packages for darwinians?
I'm tired of damn homebrew slop, and I'd like to migrate a few things that are still installed through it - akin to https://objective-see.org/tools.html | 05:50:14 |
emily | I think just reading existing packages is the best way | 05:59:51 |
