 maralorn | I wonder if there will be a 8.10.5 stackage nightly before there will be a ghc 9 … | 10:46:34 |
 sterni (he/him) | didn't they say there will in the blog post you linked | 10:47:00 |
| maralorn | But probably we won‘t break too much by switching to 8.10.5 even if nightly doesn‘t? | 10:47:04 |
| sterni (he/him) | if one gets released | 10:47:04 |
| sterni (he/him) | I'd say we try it out | 10:47:24 |
| sterni (he/him) | I'm a bit scared though, there is a lot of GHC work suddenly pending | 10:48:02 |
| sterni (he/him) | 9.2 has weird problems on darwin | 10:48:09 |
| maralorn | They said: We will release ghc 8.10.5 on LTS. | 10:48:26 |
| sterni (he/him) | and 8.10.5 ideally should be backported to 21.05 for aarch64-darwin support | 10:48:29 |
| maralorn | Not sure if that implies a nightly release. | 10:48:42 |
| maralorn | sterni (he/him): I wouldn‘t worry about 9.2 too much at this moment. | 10:49:40 |
| sterni (he/him) | ah I misremembered | 10:49:38 |
| sterni (he/him) |
releasing LTS 18 based on GHC 8.10.4 (or GHC 8.10.5, should it make an appearance) and
| 10:49:47 |
|  sorki joined the room. | 10:50:01 |
| sorki | re | 10:50:15 |
| maralorn | What I did not understand is how much LTS is just a branch off from Nightly or a different beast … | 10:50:38 |
| sterni (he/him) | hi sorki :) | 10:50:35 |
| maralorn | sterni (he/him): You wanted to merge a complete rebuild anyways, right? Maybe we can combine that with the switch to 8105? | 10:51:38 |
| sterni (he/him) | yeah that would be my idea | 11:08:15 |
| sterni (he/him) | unfortunately I don't have the other change handy yet, but two rebuilds early in the rotation may not be too bad | 11:08:45 |
| sterni (he/him) | anyways I have 50 builds to wait for and then I'll merge | 11:08:57 |
| sterni (he/him) | unless someone sees something terrible in https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1676148#tabs-still-fail (still have to mark stuff as broken ofc) | 11:09:29 |
| maralorn | In reply to @sternenseemann:systemli.org
unless someone sees something terrible in https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1676148#tabs-still-fail (still have to mark stuff as broken ofc) No, looks sane. | 11:20:07 |
| sterni (he/him) | starting to see failures because ppl are introducing lower bounds on GHC 9 standard libraries :'( | 11:20:58 |
| sterni (he/him) | how does the mark broken script react to queued builds 🤔 | 11:23:12 |
| maralorn | sterni (he/him): It ignores them. | 11:23:23 |
| sterni (he/him) | kk very good | 11:23:31 |
 cdepillabout | If I remember correclty, I think Peti once bumped the compiler version for a minor release (so like 8.8.3 to 8.8.4) before stackage did. I don't remember him having any big problems because of it. (But I also didn't really follow what he was doing very closely...) | 12:00:39 |
| sterni (he/him) | yeah bump looks good so far | 14:13:14 |
| sterni (he/him) | gonna do the merge in a bit, have a look at the release notes and then we give hydra something to wrok on :) | 14:13:41 |
