 K900 | https://github.com/qt/qtdeclarative/blob/6.8/src/qml/common/qv4compileddata.cpp | 07:59:41 |
| K900 | Most of the stuff got relocated here | 07:59:46 |
| outfoxxed | I'll rewrite it for that ig | 08:00:02 |
| K900 | But yeah maybe we put this on hold | 08:00:14 |
| K900 | Until we land 6.8 | 08:00:16 |
| outfoxxed | after 6.8 is in nixpkgs so I don't have to rebuild my entire system | 08:00:18 |
| outfoxxed | teah | 08:00:19 |
| outfoxxed | * yeah | 08:00:21 |
| K900 | And then rebase on 6.8 | 08:00:22 |
| outfoxxed | can do | 08:00:27 |
| K900 | @Nick Cao wanted 6.8 in 24.11 | 08:00:33 |
| K900 | I'm not confident but the KDE rooms are also saying 6.7.3 breaks a bunch of shit | 08:00:49 |
| K900 | So maybe we go for that | 08:00:52 |

@Nick Cao wanted 6.8 in 24.11 ideally this can get in there too
ill try to get an isolated environment with 6.8 to test in | 08:01:19 |
| outfoxxed | since I don't feel like rebuilding for 10 hours | 08:01:35 |
| K900 | The problem with getting 6.8 in 24.11 is that it'll be our last staging cycle before freeze | 08:02:09 |
| K900 | And the same cycle will have the Darwin stdenv rewrite | 08:02:17 |
| outfoxxed | so its going to be a massive rebuild and we likely wont have time to get the patch in even if 6.8 can get in? | 08:02:39 |
| K900 | The patch is fine to get in after freeze probably | 08:02:56 |
| outfoxxed | stdenv rewrite means rebuilding every package on darwin probably, right? | 08:03:03 |
| K900 | Happens every staging cycle anyway | 08:03:10 |
| K900 | It's more about how long fixing the regressions will take | 08:03:22 |
| K900 | And how that affects the timeline for future staging cycles | 08:03:33 |
| outfoxxed | whats the freeze date? if the patch is ready before then is there a chance it could be applied during the regression test period or should i just wait | 08:04:15 |
| K900 | Basically what I'm worried about is that the cycle being too long and then we don't have enough time to dogfood 6.8 | 08:05:04 |
| K900 | To be confident | 08:05:06 |
| K900 | * Basically what I'm worried about is the cycle being too long and then we don't have enough time to dogfood 6.8 | 08:05:14 |
| outfoxxed | yeah I've seen a fair amount of regressions for "minor" version bumps that it might be worth pushing off to the next release | 08:06:08 |
| K900 | And ideally I'd like to get 6.8 and the patch in two separate cycles so we don't have to play "was it this change or that change" when something epxplodes | 08:06:20 |
