 Vladimír Čunát | We have lots of major updates in this iteration (glibc, python, perl) so maybe it's exceptional. Or we'll need to amend the mass-rebuild workflow somehow. | 12:16:16 |
| Vladimír Čunát | One complication is that OfBorg is basically unusable on anything targeting staging. One could test at least the basic package by filing a PR against master and retargeting it later, but that's not very nice. That way we could get e.g. better pre-testing for x86_64-darwin (and hopefully aarch64-darwin soon). | 12:20:59 |
| Vladimír Čunát | (Well, unusuable just for trying builds; for eval-time checks it's still good.) | 12:22:15 |
 Sandro | What if something does not work? That workflow has a roundtrip of ages and debugging is not really possible if more than a framework of missing. | 12:30:07 |
| Vladimír Čunát | It would be nice if one could get at least a macOS VM easily. | 12:31:28 |
 hexa | risicle has a vm setup with macos that he bootstraps in 20 minute when he needs it | 12:32:19 |
| hexa | I thought about setting one up as well, but then I'd be digging more into macOS than I'm comfortable with anyway | 12:33:42 |

| lovesegfault | I'm going to try to bump binutils once we land this staging | 19:27:48 |
| lovesegfault | Hopefully it's not a complete nightmare | 19:27:56 |
| Vladimír Čunát | Uh, maybe a separate jobset for that, after previous experience IIRC. | 19:30:45 |
| Vladimír Čunát | Though 2.36.1 might not be too risky. | 19:33:58 |
| lovesegfault | Yeah, it definitely needs its own jobset | 19:36:06 |
| lovesegfault | This is a good reminder, I need to finish my script for uploading tarballs | 19:36:21 |

| Vladimír Čunát | I merged staging-next now. I won't be this active around it for the next couple of weeks. | 20:12:54 |

 jonringer | I'm visiting family, won't be super active | 04:09:57 |
| hexa | okay | 09:45:59 |
 andi- | I'll go ahead and merge https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/130779 into master. You might want to ensure that you pick that into the staging branch relatively quickly to avoid additional needless rebuilds. | 10:52:58 |
| hexa | next periodic merge is in 1 hour 7 minutes iirc | 10:53:29 |
| hexa | has the kernel also caught up? | 10:53:51 |
| andi- | There was some discussion about the hardened kernel breaking.... I am thinking that if the hardened kernel doesn't support stable updates then perhaps it needs to be marked as insecure ;-) | 10:59:24 |
| lovesegfault | Seems like the fix for that huge strip perf regression missed this staging window | 16:45:41 |
 sterni | how did it if staging-next was merged just yesterday? | 16:46:27 |
| lovesegfault | Idk, but it ain't on master | 16:47:14 |
| lovesegfault | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/129900 | 16:47:31 |
| lovesegfault | this fix, to be clear | 16:47:35 |
