 @infinisil:matrix.org | Like, we said in https://discourse.nixos.org/t/infrastructure-announcement-the-future-of-ofborg-your-help-needed/56025 that eval will be taken care of by GHA, while only building will be taken care of by ofborg going forward 😅 | 09:52:14 |
 Janne Heß | Well we still kinda need to keep evaluating to figure out what to build since GH's API is horrible so not too much was lost i guess | 09:53:25 |
| @infinisil:matrix.org | (And https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/355847) | 09:53:48 |
| Janne Heß | Are there any plans to migrate the eval checks (nix-instantiate and nix-build) as well? Because these are annoying and I commented them out | 09:53:56 |

| Janne Heß | I didn't assume it to be a lot of work, but it has to be done regardless :D | 09:54:44 |

| @infinisil:matrix.org | The thing GHA won't take care of is building the attribute from the commit message, and listening to other build commands from comments | 09:55:46 |
| Janne Heß | I would have liked to use the outputs of the eval action, but GitHub doesn't return the data I would need | 09:56:01 |
| Janne Heß | I'll see what I can do with that, thank you | 09:56:28 |
| @infinisil:matrix.org | @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de Sorry to throw a bit of a curve ball, but thank you for doing the ofborg migration anyways :)
| 09:57:50 |
| Janne Heß | I mean you basically told me what I should have already known 🤷 never shoot the messenger | 09:58:24 |
| Janne Heß | It's a bit frustrating tbh, but I'll keep going when I have time again (hopefully this year) | 09:58:59 |
| @infinisil:matrix.org | ❤️ | 10:00:04 |
| @infinisil:matrix.org | I'll try to communicate things like this more widely in the future | 10:00:26 |
| Janne Heß | I don't really see this as your fault, the entire thing of ofborg and equinix was a bit chaotic from my perspective. I see this as something that will likely get better once more steering structures are in place | 10:01:29 |

| Janne Heß | infinisil: The actions already checkMeta, right? | 10:28:00 |

infinisil: The actions already checkMeta, right? Yup | 10:28:44 |
| Janne Heß | Yep, then I can probably remove all nix evals | 10:29:07 |
 7c6f434c | Honestly, it's not just about steering as about administrative, although those are linked | 10:44:04 |

Honestly, it's not just about steering as about administrative, although those are linked I wasn't implying this is the task of any committee or group, rather that communication and organization is a lot easier when it's clear who owns/maintains/manages what which does require some form of structure | 11:12:14 |
| 7c6f434c | I just mean that some of the tasks critical for the improvements you hope for are not yet taken up (some of this is a part of refilling/expanding the foundation board, for example) | 11:17:45 |
| Janne Heß | Yes, I know it's ongoing and hard work and I'm grateful for the people doing it | 11:19:48 |
|  siraben left the room. | 14:51:22 |
 emily | is the current ofborg eval queue size a metric that can be publicly viewed? | 16:38:10 |
 Alyssa Ross | room topic suggests so :) | 16:38:28 |
| emily | whoops | 16:38:38 |
| emily | Element started hiding that behind a click so I never think to check it any more :/ | 16:38:45 |
| emily | thanks | 16:38:52 |
