 maralorn | We should instead increase the merge frequency. again. | 13:45:49 |
| maralorn | Our goal normally is once every one or two weeks. | 13:46:02 |
| maralorn | This has gotten ridiculous. | 13:46:11 |
| maralorn | But speaking of: Can someone explain to me why our branch hasn’t been checked by hydra for three days? | 13:46:39 |
| maralorn | https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixpkgs/haskell-updates#tabs-evaluations | 13:47:03 |
| maralorn | Last check: 04-05, but configuration says every 8 ours. | 13:47:25 |
 emily | "Check interval: -28800" means only manually, I think. | 14:01:54 |
| emily | probably vcunat tweaked it because the queue is huge right now and we need to do -next cycles before release | 14:02:08 |
 vcunat | I haven't touched it recently. | 14:02:50 |
| vcunat | But it's possible that it's some long leftover. | 14:03:05 |
| vcunat | Though in that case someone must've been triggering those evals. | 14:03:34 |

| vcunat | (which I did now) | 14:04:34 |

| maralorn | Oh, true. Looks like sterni has been triggering them manually. | 14:04:51 |
| maralorn | Which is actually kinda fine for me. But I need to know it’s the case. 😄 | 14:05:05 |
| vcunat | Do you want trigger permissions? | 14:05:30 |
| vcunat | I don't mind adjusting the settings, too. | 14:06:33 |
| vcunat | We just need to share Hydra's resources reasonably. I'm not aware of a big hurry with staging-next right now even. | 14:07:59 |
| vcunat | Today even all kind of changes are allowed in staging (theoretically). Tomorrow is the first small freezing step, but there's ample time after it. | 14:10:55 |
 alexfmpe | huh shouldn't we merge haskell-updates ASAP given staging window for 25.05 is closing fast? | 14:12:43 |
| vcunat | My reading of the schedule is that breaking changes (e.g. in haskell packages) are allowed up to 2025-04-23. | 14:19:27 |
| vcunat | Non-breaking mass rebuilds up to some early May. | 14:20:14 |
| vcunat | But well - in the worst case, important fixes get backported to stable continually. | 14:20:48 |
 sterni (he/him) | We just need to meet the window for breaking changes in staging, shouldn't be a problem fingers crossed | 14:48:11 |
 hellwolf | thanks folks. I have been free riding your work. I should really contribute some, since I do believe I am able to. I just need to plan the time for this. | 15:32:28 |
| maralorn | We have them, don’t worry. | 15:44:38 |
| alexfmpe | Those regressions on cabal might be annoying, and bumping cabal means rebuild right?
Maybe we just bump cabal itself to 3.14.2 and then merge and go back to normal flow? | 17:55:53 |

| maralorn | Bumping cabal-install is not a mass rebuilt. Bumping Cabal is not a thing since it's bundled with ghc. | 21:59:18 |
