@whispers:catgirl.cloudwhispers [& it/fae] tbh they've been doing near-weekly releases at this point anyway… i have no idea how they keep up. it's very impressive 12:09:18
@hexa:lossy.networkhexatalked to emily lange just yesterday and my impression was that major bringups are quite a bit more work than the regular security releases12:09:57
@whispers:catgirl.cloudwhispers [& it/fae]ah interesting12:10:08
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaI mean, that 's simplar to firefox patch releases12:10:10

@hexa:lossy.networkhexabut major firefox releases only rarely cause issues12:10:29
@emma:rory.gayEmma [it/its]oh god, jesus christ12:10:44
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat"demands of modern web". A weird way to justify that, or maybe I don't have any idea what modern web is about.12:13:19
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat Generally with SW I'd say that specific people want updates early (perhaps just a specific new feature) but vast majority of people want less frequent major upgrades than they get. 12:15:47
@hexa:lossy.networkhexayou don't? it's the slopfest.12:16:30
@emma:rory.gayEmma [it/its]i see this release cadence increase as a negative for the web tbh12:17:16

@colemickens:matrix.orgcolemickensCan I get an assist/consult here: https://github.com/nix-community/flake-firefox-nightly/pull/62 the fix seems okay-ish but I'm surprised that this wasn't noticed earlier. I would expect to see something that updates where the devedition version is fetched, but that's not in the PR. Surely it's not the case that every valid devedition build tag is also a valid beta tag so.... ???17:41:37
@whispers:catgirl.cloudwhispers [& it/fae]devedition and beta are released in sync and are basically the same browser18:36:26
@whispers:catgirl.cloudwhispers [& it/fae]* devedition and beta are released in sync, versioned the same, and are in large part the same browser18:36:37
@whispers:catgirl.cloudwhispers [& it/fae]* devedition and beta are based on the same branch, versioned the same, released in sync, and are in large part the same browser18:37:14
@whispers:catgirl.cloudwhispers [& it/fae]* devedition and beta are based on the same branch, versioned the same, released in sync, and are in large part the same browser, so it's not surprising that it's just worked18:37:20
@llakala:matrix.orgllakala

taking a look at where i re-import pkgs in my config - does the the usage of some wasm sandboxing in build-mozilla-mach really require an entire cross-chain?

relevant lines:

    export WASM_CC=${pkgsCross.wasi32.stdenv.cc}/bin/${pkgsCross.wasi32.stdenv.cc.targetPrefix}cc
    export WASM_CXX=${pkgsCross.wasi32.stdenv.cc}/bin/${pkgsCross.wasi32.stdenv.cc.targetPrefix}c++

and

  wasiSysRoot = runCommand "wasi-sysroot" { } ''
    mkdir -p $out/lib/wasm32-wasi
    for lib in ${pkgsCross.wasi32.llvmPackages.libcxx}/lib/*; do
      ln -s $lib $out/lib/wasm32-wasi
    done
  '';

taking a look at where i re-import pkgs in my config - does the the usage of some wasm sandboxing in build-mozilla-mach really require an entire cross-chain, or is it possible to achieve this without it?
