 Vladimír Čunát | The switch of Plasma from 5 to 6 is quite significant. Are we doing it now/today? | 11:42:01 |

 Weijia | Sounds like a good idea to me | 11:46:25 |
| Vladimír Čunát | To me it feels late to do major changes, but desktops have an explicit exception. | 11:48:21 |

Weijia: ok. Let's do 18:00 CEST. vcunat: ^ | 12:24:50 |

The switch of Plasma from 5 to 6 seems quite significant. Are we doing it now/today? I was under the impression that we are just offering plasma 6 in addition 🤔 | 12:25:28 |
| Vladimír Čunát | OK, I think that's a good time for me, so I should be available to help. | 12:25:30 |
| hexa | and we are keeping both 5 and 6 around at the time | 12:26:06 |
| hexa | so I'm not really worried | 12:26:09 |

nixos/release-combined: ship Plasma 6 ISOs instead of Plasma 5
| 12:26:17 |
| Vladimír Čunát | The channel script change does not ship both at once. | 12:26:54 |
| hexa | ok, but this only affects the graphical installer | 12:27:00 |
| Vladimír Čunát | And the channel blocker is also switched, not added. | 12:27:06 |
| hexa | where you can pick either 5 or 6 | 12:27:11 |
| Vladimír Čunát | Yes, at least the PRs that I've seen. | 12:27:20 |
| Vladimír Čunát | It's true that most users won't touch the installer. | 12:27:41 |
| Vladimír Čunát | We could be shipping both. | 12:28:23 |
| Vladimír Čunát | (it would increase costs, though) | 12:29:05 |
| hexa | that sounds unnecessarily expensive | 12:29:08 |
| Vladimír Čunát | Not much compared to the recent direct S3 access, I expect. | 12:29:47 |
| Vladimír Čunát | But I expect it would offer too little extra value. | 12:30:08 |
| Vladimír Čunát | (assuming the 6 ISOs work no worse than 5 in all situations) | 12:30:35 |
| Vladimír Čunát | * (assuming the v6 ISOs work no worse than v5 in all situations) | 12:30:45 |
| Vladimír Čunát | TL;DR: machines are working, we should have it in nixos-unstable within several hours. | 12:34:19 |

where you can pick either 5 or 6 The update was quiet smooth in my experience. KDE 6 should be good to go. | 14:44:39 |
| Vladimír Čunát | It's in nixos-unstable. | 22:34:38 |
| Vladimír Čunát | * It's in nixos-unstable now. | 22:34:43 |
| Vladimír Čunát | And staging-next got merged, so it should get there very soon as well, I hope. | 22:34:57 |
| hexa | strictly speaking https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/313501 is a breaking change | 22:48:41 |
| hexa | but every maintainer of an affected package has been notified months in advance https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/262907 | 22:48:54 |
