 Grimmauld (any/all) | that isn't hard, just a patch to replace %llu with %lu, but annoying because there is no git repo i could find | 08:02:55 |
 eveeifyeve | Is there any staging prs that I can review? | 12:27:01 |

 Randy Eckenrode | Actually, if I had to blame anything, it’s probably UB-related. ld64 can’t be built with libc++ hardening enabled. It’s pretty sloppy with what it does with pointers. Running it with UBSan prints a ton of issues.
Another possible issue is a couple of parts are parallelized. I wouldn’t be if there are races in there.
| 14:04:00 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Oh, and it uses recursion. That’s why it requires a massive stack and why GHC would crash it sometimes when we used the default stack size. | 14:04:38 |
| Randy Eckenrode | I mean, it randomly crashes under Rosetta 2. Switching to LLD can’t happen soon enough. | 14:05:51 |
 ghpzin | Just sent liblqr1 fix for darwin (that I broke fixing it for gcc15):
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/473298
Would be nice to test whether it indeed builds fine on darwin (I only tested with clangStdenv). | 14:26:59 |
 Yureka (she/her) | pkgsMusl.stdenv fix (it's a world rebuild) | 20:06:02 |

| ghpzin | Doesn't need second bootsrap update (aarch64 one) ? | 20:13:32 |

 K900 | Hit restart all failed on staging-next | 07:38:07 |
 Marcus | Wonder how hard it would be to fix hydra to do proper paging on still failing instead 'show me the rest' | 09:45:06 |
 vcunat | Yeah, we have impractically many jobs nowadays. nix-review-tools-reports pages are also quite heavy. | 10:00:04 |
| Marcus | Even if I implement paging in the tt code, it would do a full backend request on every page render due to the diffing against previous eval. But it'd be easier on the browser at least. | 10:13:51 |
| K900 | The entire thing is a mess and needs a full rework tbh | 10:20:51 |
| Marcus | Don't disagree with that. It's using some of our worst ideas from Catalyst development as well 🙂 | 10:22:21 |

|  isabel changed their profile picture. | 11:38:05 |
|  zitrone (39c3 DECT ZITR/9487) changed their display name from zitrone to zitrone (39c3 DECT ZITR/9487). | 12:19:22 |
| vcunat | Uh, still lots of failures on staging-next, around 18k instead of 5k from unstable. | 13:30:38 |
| vcunat | Part of that is the exchange of python 3.14 instead of 3.12, and lots of 3.14 packages being broken. But even without that there are thousands of linux regressions:

 emily | probably not a great time of year for people being free to triage major changes | 13:37:52 |
| emily | maybe would have been better to do a last 25.05 or something? | 13:38:10 |
| emily | (I've lost track of the schedule at this point though) | 13:38:15 |
 leona | i'll try fixing a few, at least python should be possible for me.. I dont have a macos with me tho | 13:38:31 |
| emily | I am very much taking a break, but if there is any particularly major Darwin thing in this cycle I can potentially offer "giving my best guess diagnosis/proposed solution" levels of help | 13:40:14 |
| emily | sometimes I wish we had a cleaner separation of "low-risk security/bug fix" staging merges and "major breaking/risky" staging merges so we could choose to run low-impact cycles and time the big stuff | 13:41:22 |
| emily | (though I'm loathe to see even more branches) | 13:41:48 |
