 outfoxxed | ah
are you testing for application correctness or just that everything builds | 08:10:04 |
 K900 | Mostly the former | 08:10:13 |
| K900 | Hydra can take care of the latter | 08:10:17 |
| K900 | But with e.g. 6.7.3 people are reporting weird runtime crashes | 08:10:26 |
| K900 | That I personally haven't hit but there's a lot of talk in the Plasma rooms | 08:10:41 |
| outfoxxed | theres lots of nasty ones in quick | 08:10:42 |
| outfoxxed | hit them personally a fair bit | 08:10:51 |
| K900 | And that's not something Hydra can catch | 08:10:56 |
| outfoxxed | personally would probably just hold off on 6.8 unless plasma can actually be fully tested in that time | 08:11:49 |
| K900 | If we get 6.8 into the next cycle and it goes closer to a normal timeline (i.e. 1-1.5 weeks and not 3), we'll have over a month to release | 08:13:12 |
| K900 | And we'll definitely have at least one more cycle to revert to 6.7 if it's really ba | 08:13:23 |
| K900 | * And we'll definitely have at least one more cycle to revert to 6.7 if it's really bad | 08:13:24 |
| outfoxxed | probably good enough then | 08:13:36 |
| K900 | But if it goes for 3 weeks, we'll have maybe two weeks to last possible revert point | 08:14:32 |
| K900 | And that's going to suck | 08:14:39 |
| K900 | I guess one thing we have going for us is that there's other distros | 08:14:59 |
| K900 | That don't need two weeks to ship a Qt update | 08:15:12 |
| outfoxxed | please beta test, arch π | 08:15:17 |
| K900 | So we may have a rough baseline for 6.8 from that | 08:15:29 |
| outfoxxed | is that two weeks worth of qt rebuilds or just having to fit that in a staging cycle | 08:15:58 |
| K900 | Or maybe I'm overthinking all of this and Randy just killed it on the Darwin stdenv rewrite and it'll go smoothly and we will not have problems | 08:16:14 |

is that two weeks worth of qt rebuilds or just having to fit that in a staging cycle The overall staging cycle | 08:16:20 |
| K900 | Qt itself is something like 3k rebuilds | 08:16:37 |
| K900 | Which is not insignificant, but not a huge amount by staging terms | 08:16:48 |

| outfoxxed | I'll just wait till the 6.8 merge into unstable to rewrite the patch, and leave it for merging later | 08:20:55 |

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 explodes i bet you will have a hard time given that 6.8 has removed a porting pill define | 02:22:50 |
