 Sandro 🐧 | Yep, it is specific to the derivation it runs in. | 15:47:11 |
| Sandro 🐧 | So it cannot be used in Ferchpatch or so, too | 15:47:21 |

 vcunat | staging-next merge should come within a couple days. The nixos/unstable jobset is already preparing NixOS tests. I just hope there won't be large complications in there from https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/478109 | 08:21:13 |
 niklaskorz | Is anyone from the Gnome team already working on a Gnome 50 PR? There doesn't seem to be one yet, but I'd rather double check before giving it a try myself | 08:43:47 |

| 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 |

| K900 | So, mu | 15:00:09 |
 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 |
