https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/270142 what's the deal with this eval failure? oh yeah if you read it closely it says "the branch this PR will be merged into does not cleanly eval" | 18:23:48 |
| Lily Foster | so i really think it got spooked by the outpath calc step for the pre-merge step having output | 18:24:55 |

prs from 2+ hours haven't been evalled Yep, unfortunately that’s because Nixpkgs still takes on the order of ~10+ minutes for each evaluation. We used to be able to get by with 5-7 machines, but nowadays even 9 is too slow. I think I investigated this slowdown before and posted here, but I don’t remember | 13:37:58 |

I haven't looked at the specifics of it though | 13:40:47 |
