@theo-paris:matrix.org@theo-paris:matrix.org left the room.00:37:48
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetik What would you do if OfBorg check for darwin is stuck for 5+ days on a new PR? 05:29:34
@k900:0upti.meK900 Nothing, that's kind of expected 05:31:06
@k900:0upti.meK900 There is not nearly enough capacity there to keep up with the queue 05:31:15
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetikOh I'm new as a maintainer 05:31:19
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetikSo still learning the ropes 05:31:38
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetikand usually how long does a darwin-rebuild PR take to get in the queue?05:32:45
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetik* and usually how long does a darwin-rebuild PR take to get executed, from the moment it gets onto the queue?05:33:10
@k900:0upti.meK900 Could be a very long time 05:33:47
@k900:0upti.meK900 It's not blocking the merge though 05:33:52
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetikhttps://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/49876605:39:38
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetikwell in my case it is, unless I'm blind to it05:39:53
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetik K900: thanks for quick responses, I appreciate it 🫡 05:40:30
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilythe bot comment shows the reasons it's not being merged05:42:11
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetikyep, seen it. So I guess I'd have to wait for either auto-merge, or for the existing maintainer to manually merge05:42:48
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilythere is no auto-merge :)05:44:27
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetik 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
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyoh, I missed that khaneliman actually hit auto-merge05:47:35
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyit's not blocked because of Darwin, it's blocked because some of the jobs got skipped for some reason05:48:01
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilykicked CI, maybe that'll fix it05:48:18
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetikyou the best! 05:48:50
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetikthanks05:48:51
@kaynetik:matrix.orgkaynetikbtw 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.html05:50:14
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyI think just reading existing packages is the best way05:59:51
