We will also be working with downstream packagers and forks over the coming days to ensure a synchronised release to address affected clients.

yeah, well, that will definitely not happen. Ours is released when the channel advances which can take a day or two. | 16:30:28 |
 Winter (she/her) | I wonder if there's a way we can fast track security changes like this... | 16:34:23 |
| Winter (she/her) | We could force start an eval? | 16:34:33 |
| Winter (she/her) | assuming there wouldn't be a lot of rebuilds | 16:34:42 |
| Sandro 🐧 | One important thing is to get the channel in a state where it advances and is not blocked by some issue already | 16:37:30 |
| Sandro 🐧 | Also NixOS is already pretty fast compared to other distros which sometimes take weeks or months for such things | 16:38:05 |

I wonder if there's a way we can fast track security changes like this... I regularly force evals for security issues | 16:44:37 |
| hexa | -small usually releases pretty fast | 16:44:59 |
| Winter (she/her) | so it can hopefully be faster than two days :) | 16:45:02 |
| Winter (she/her) | yeah | 16:45:03 |
| Winter (she/her) | small is very fast usually | 16:45:07 |
| hexa | 🤷 | 16:45:12 |

-small usually releases pretty fast I'd imagine people are either using the stable channel or unstable. You regularly need to build the browsers on small. | 16:46:34 |

| hexa | regularly is sufficiently vague | 16:47:29 |
| hexa | * "regularly" is sufficiently vague | 16:47:43 |
| Sandro 🐧 | When I was still on unstable-small I was building a browser at least twice a week | 22:21:14 |
| Winter (she/her) | How often did you update it though Sandro 🐧, plus -small is very specifically made for not having large rebuilds like browsers | 23:27:44 |
| 24 Sep 2022 |
| hexa | dependencies might change, but small will simply not build browsers | 02:04:32 |
