Hey! I'm very new to nixpkgs (I maintain only one package I just added to fix ifcopenshell build) and this channel, but I'm interested. If there is no requirements about experience or long term commitment, I'd like to join :-) | 09:39:44 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | Hi autra , you are very welcome to join. You can learn as you go, start from simple things like reviewing version bumps. I can also provide some onboarding sessions if you are interested.
Please, create a pull request with short introduction of yourself and assign it to me for review. Looking forward to see you around.

All good. Thanks! | 10:22:43 |

 nh2 | gdal is still broken on 24.05:
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues/9887#issuecomment-2225823879
Does Hydra use bcachefs? | 15:25:15 |
| nh2 | Apparently those tests are known to be flaky: https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues/9887#issuecomment-2225846251 | 16:08:52 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | Yes, gdal tests are flaky especially wgen executed under high load. The problem is that by my experience they fail quite randomly. | 16:46:01 |
| 13 Jul 2024 |
| nh2 | Then they aren't fit for Hydra, we need to disable them.
I asked in the ticket which ones those are. | 02:39:56 |

I asked in the ticket which ones those are. I would be very happy if we could identify and disable couple of tests which are more likely to fail, but I would feel very uncomfortable to disable all of them. | 07:29:25 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | nh2: PDAL update is good to go now https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/323327 | 08:01:19 |
| Ivan Mincik (imincik) | New team page is live now - https://nixos.org/community/teams/geospatial/ . Please let me know if you want your name to appear/not to appear in the members list ( @sikmir ) . Or any other comments. | 15:59:13 |

I would be very happy if we could identify and disable couple of tests which are more likely to fail, but I would feel very uncomfortable to disable all of them. Ivan Mincik (imincik): Yes, we should not disable all tests just because some are flaky.
But we should disable all tests that are flaky in any way. Flaky tests cause huge problems: Disabling a large amount of nixpkgs packages, wasting time on Hydra and 1000x that time on users' computers, as well as contributor time.
Fixing flaky tests is an upstream responsibility; we should report the flakiness, disabled them in nixpkgs, and let upstream solve it (or help with that if we have the time). | 16:50:18 |
