 ivy | to build on | 13:20:03 |
 Sandro 🐧 | https://github.com/Mic92/niks3 has also support for dois according to the readme | 15:01:04 |
 Mic92 | it does | 15:02:42 |
| Mic92 | The old format, not the new one that John has brought up in a PR. | 15:03:01 |
| Mic92 | But I can switch to th new one as well | 15:03:07 |
| Mic92 | Gotta make a release of niks3 runs now for 3 weeks without issues. | 15:03:30 |

 lovesegfault | I feel like we should be doing a better job at having rl-next notes for PRs we land | 17:34:01 |
| lovesegfault | it's good for visibility of all the work happening on a release | 17:34:11 |
| lovesegfault | For example, John's documentation work and Farid's kaitai spec both deserved release notes IMO | 17:36:48 |
| lovesegfault | But did not get it | 17:36:51 |
| lovesegfault | I'll do a pass of the changes since 2.32 and try to remedy this, but maybe we ought to have some kind of CI check for this | 17:37:32 |
| lovesegfault | One of those where you can post a comment to disable the behavior whenever work actually doesn't need rl-notes | 17:37:55 |
 Robert Hensing (roberth) | got annoyed with "darwin" linux-builder today; opened https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/14475 | 21:29:50 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | I don't know if anyone feels very attached to direct file system access, but it seems like a bad default choice, and not something that's even used very often (?) | 21:30:29 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | anyway, making such a change early on in the 26.05 cycle seems like a good idea if you want to | 21:31:04 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | I don't think it improves linux-builder anytime soon, but it seems like a nice cleanup to me | 21:31:30 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | John Ericson: any reason not to merge https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/14469#pullrequestreview-3417559764? | 21:37:20 |
|  ncfavier changed their profile picture. | 23:55:00 |

| lovesegfault | Robert Hensing (roberth): I was thinking about the ulimit stuff. What if we added a test envvar that makes nix hard-error when it fails to set ulimit, and then used that for the tests that currently fail without it to be skipped? | 01:44:23 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | In this case, such a solution would have caused all macOS users to silently pass all the language tests. Not great DX | 10:28:58 |

John Ericson: any reason not to merge https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/14469#pullrequestreview-3417559764? No reason, but it's failing CI right now so we can't, right? | 14:23:16 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | John Ericson: I figured I'd hang out, https://jitsi.lassul.us/nix-maintainers | 20:08:36 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | mschwaig is also there! | 20:08:49 |
 tomberek | fzakaria: Can you re-structure the Kaitai checks such that it is not included into the default devshell? | 20:49:28 |
 fzakaria | can you clarify & why ? | 22:34:58 |
| fzakaria | I structured it like the JSON-schema checks | 22:35:07 |
| fzakaria | (just want to make sure I understand the change to be done) | 22:36:03 |
| tomberek | The desired outcome is that the default devShell does not require the JDK. | 23:13:07 |
