 Janik (they/them) | Would someone mind giving https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/292472 another review, the pr was already reviewed a bunch and should be good to go. The only open comments are adding more tests which can be done in a separate pr. I'm asking this in the RM channel because I would like to get this in before 24.05 branch of since it introduces a minor change to the networkmanager module which was already announced in https://discourse.nixos.org/t/breaking-changes-announcement-for-unstable/17574/ a while back | 11:23:54 |

 Randy Eckenrode | To expand a bit on my reply in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/304350: unless it’s decided that Darwin LTO is to be in 24.05, I was planning to target unstable after release. It does some cleanup (see https://discourse.nixos.org/t/darwin-updates-news/42249/10), which should be mostly non-breaking but still could be disruptive.
Issues so far: GCC fails to build. I think the SDK’s Availability.h has issues, but I need to investigate. | 11:58:50 |
| Randy Eckenrode | I would like to get my libiconv update into 24.05. Mostly because it packages ATF, Kyua, and Lutok; which may be of use to those working on FreeBSD support. | 11:59:33 |
| Weijia | Oh, merging too fast. | 12:00:09 |
| Weijia | It's now 00:00 AoE, btw. | 12:00:14 |
| Randy Eckenrode | It’s a draft PR at the moment because I have some fixes in my ld64 branch I need to cherry pick back. | 12:00:20 |

| Randy Eckenrode | AoE? | 12:01:32 |
| Weijia | Anywhere on Earth | 12:01:57 |
| Randy Eckenrode | The update should be non-breaking (which I thought the deadline for breaking changes outside of a few core packages was May 1). | 12:02:19 |

| Randy Eckenrode | The LTO stuff would have to be a release team call. I’ve been assuming not making it. Just wanted to expand on the clang change. It mostly does nothing right now, but it’s required for LTO once ld64 is updated. | 12:03:40 |
| Randy Eckenrode | I can cherry-pick the fixes to my libiconv and get that PR back into ready for review. They mostly concern being ready to build/link with the updated ld64. I had a race condition in one of my meson.build files that the ld64 update exposed. | 12:05:59 |

| Randy Eckenrode | That incompatibility is a reason to target post-24.05 IMO. Apple changed the linker in Xcode 14 to disallow nested static archives. The ecosystem should have adjusted by now, but there may be packages that haven’t yet. (Kyua had not.) | 12:11:38 |

The ecosystem should have adjusted by now, but there may be packages that haven’t yet (like Kyua). I tested with ld-prime, and it has the same behavior. It must have been an accident it worked before. | 12:12:18 |
