 emily | FWIW I really don't think we need the rev in there at all | 17:06:06 |
 ElvishJerricco | it's in there | 17:06:18 |
| emily | it is what you'll get on the installed system though | 17:06:23 |
| ElvishJerricco | the redundant version info includes the nixpkgs rev and the number of commits under that rev | 17:06:53 |
| ElvishJerricco | which each entry gets | 17:07:03 |
| emily | I think nobody who can do anything useful with the Nixpkgs commit requires it to be in the bootloader menu or really benefits from that | 17:07:19 |
| ElvishJerricco | that's what I think we could de-rundundant-ize to make room for the LTS kernel's version | 17:07:23 |
| ElvishJerricco | but I think that's a separate thing that I'll do in another PR | 17:07:51 |
| ElvishJerricco | (because I'm less sure how to do it) | 17:08:03 |
| ElvishJerricco | oh I just saw this part; oh gosh I already made the channel scripts PR https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-channel-scripts/pull/77 I was hoping that the release manager of 25.05 would have to change the homepage | 17:35:08 |
| ElvishJerricco | or, stated better, I was hoping they'd be the appropriate person to change the homepage, because I don't know the right way to do that | 17:35:53 |
| emily | it's not too hard | 17:38:51 |
| emily | see https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage/pull/1576 | 17:39:08 |
| emily | you'll just want to mess about in src/content/download/ | 17:39:18 |
| emily | maybe it's theoretically the RM's obligation, I dunno, but I wouldn't count on it happening :P | 17:39:29 |
 hexa | don't count on the RM | 17:39:43 |
| hexa | * don't count on the RM for that | 17:39:54 |
| hexa | it really depends how much they're involved in this process | 17:40:23 |
| ElvishJerricco | Ok so what's the right way to handle the homepage for 25.05 in this case? | 17:42:28 |
| ElvishJerricco | open a PR and get it merged at the right time? | 17:42:40 |
| ElvishJerricco | what is the right time? | 17:42:45 |
 K900 | @ElvishJerricco https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/384567 | 17:43:57 |
| K900 | Also, the combined ISO already has no Plasma 5 option, right? | 17:44:19 |
| hexa | upon release | 17:45:59 |
| hexa | the channel scripts need to be there earlier, so they get copied | 17:46:23 |
| hexa | but the homepage just needs to reference the urls that the channel scripts perpare | 17:46:42 |
| hexa | so as long as the homepage is updated after the channel scripts have been updated it will be fine | 17:46:59 |
| ElvishJerricco | yep | 17:47:45 |
| ElvishJerricco | ok, so I should probably open a PR on the homepage to point to the right file, but it should not be merged until after the channel script has had effect | 17:48:40 |
| ElvishJerricco | er | 17:48:47 |
