 maralorn | * It seems I am loosing my grip on being a nixpkgs maintainer when I didn’t first check whether a jailbreak works. 😄 | 15:22:44 |
| maralorn | FTR, it didn’t. | 23:05:12 |

 sterni (he/him) | the answer seems to be: detective work | 10:42:24 |
| sterni (he/him) | it is also extremely annoying to tell what versions of GHC a commit has been backported to | 10:42:49 |
 Teo (he/him) | Once you find the MR then you should be able to know the backporta since release managers leave comments when stuff gets backported, but all of it is so much friction. I occasionally consider writing a little web service to get this type of info | 11:01:37 |
| sterni (he/him) | I guess best bet is to go via the linked issue if there's one in the commit message since that's a requirement now | 11:04:31 |
| sterni (he/him) | maralorn: Cabal-syntax is reinstallable, ghc not; so that's probably the reason | 11:05:00 |

maralorn: Cabal-syntax is reinstallable, ghc not; so that's probably the reason Good point | 11:11:59 |
| sterni (he/him) | emily: would you look at that https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/commit/50842f83f467ff54dd22470559a7af79d2025c03 | 17:30:44 |
| sterni (he/him) | though I think it fails at configure time (?) | 17:31:48 |
 emily | 😅 | 17:31:54 |
| emily | good timing I suppose | 17:32:00 |
| emily | I think it was already a warning before | 17:32:33 |
| emily | I guess they made it an error and then reverted that? | 17:32:43 |
| sterni (he/him) | yeah sounds like it, tbh I linked this before I read the diff | 17:37:14 |
| sterni (he/him) | configure would still fail looks like | 17:38:43 |
