if we're doing 6.7 in 24.11 maybe it makes sense to merge the patch anyway for all the kde users, and rebase it for 6.8 when thats ready? if not ill wait till 6.8 to fix the nits and rebase | 08:09:01 |
 K900 | The problem is we don't know if we're doing 6.7 or 6.8 before we try 6.8 | 08:09:35 |
| 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 |

| 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 |
