| vcunat | New staging-next-25.11:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/502472 | 08:09:55 |
| vcunat | Only now Hydra managed to get through the rebuilds, partially because of reverting https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/493445 | 08:10:58 |
| vcunat | Lately we seem to be keeping a monthly period. Managing one staging-next and one staging-next-25.11 in each month. | 08:11:38 |

 kuflierl | Need some support. The last staging merge seems to have broken fceux (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/500611) in a strange way. I can not seem to track down the exact break point (and also do not have the compute to bisect my way trough 1000+ rebuilds every step).
Maybe yall have an idea what might cause this unzip.h: No such file or directory? | 14:35:03 |
 K900 | minizip API change | 14:35:21 |
| K900 | You can use minizip-ng for now | 14:35:26 |
| kuflierl | strange, my diff says that only a small patch was added that adds a single include line | 14:37:11 |
| K900 | It's a zlib update | 14:42:03 |
| K900 | Which minizip is part of | 14:42:08 |
| kuflierl | I think i just walked into a "patch" release actually being an insanely breaking change. Why did we even update zlib? | 14:55:58 |
| hexa | anyone doing expat 2.7.5? | 14:56:32 |
| vcunat | Done. See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/501883 | 14:57:46 |
| hexa | ah, good | 14:58:21 |
| K900 | zlib does not do semvef | 15:00:06 |

 ari ❄ | What are typical next steps for a PR against staging that has an approval (in this case: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/490720 )? package tests were successful on x86_64-linux, *-darwin haven't started for almost a week now, and aarch64-linux apparently crashed | 17:07:14 |
| ari ❄ | (i would guess the crash is unrelated to the change) | 17:08:55 |
| K900 | Merged | 17:51:37 |
| kuflierl | minizip-ng seems to be built with "-DMZ_LIB_SUFFIX='-ng'" which means that i can not simply use it as-is. I have no clue why this is done since this makes the whole post-install script useless. | 18:21:09 |

 Gaétan Lepage | Hi,
I'd like to get a second opinion on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/492506 before merging if possible? | 09:01:52 |
| 27 Mar 2026 |
| vcunat | How come nixpkgs/unstable generated like 20k job rebuilds within 48h? | 05:56:27 |
| vcunat | The usual list doesn't seem to explain:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Amerged+label%3A%2210.rebuild-linux%3A+501%2B%22+base%3Amaster+sort%3Aupdated-desc+ | 06:00:32 |

| vcunat | I give up, I guess. It's mostly -linux. I'm just cancelling non-current builds. | 06:03:07 |
