 jonringer | "backup" for me is if someone else doesn't step up, I'll step up. | 21:37:03 |
 tomberek | figsoda: Glad to see the extra announcements helped. Anything else you need? (i also RM'd a while back and can assist as needed) | 22:21:04 |
| jonringer | Also there to assist :) | 22:32:24 |

 hexa | figsoda: can you try to nail this to down asap? | 11:22:37 |

 figsoda | I don't think I have the capacity to consistently commit time to release management, and I'm stepping back from the Release Manager role. It's been wonderful working with everyone for 23.11, I will still be around for 24.05, feel free to ask me for help, I just probably won't be as active. Sorry that I sent this message weeks after when it should have happend - I should have stepped back earlier so we wouldn't be behind the release schedule. P.S. I haven't been as active in nixpkgs and my nix-community either. I'm not leaving the community, I just haven't been as active partly because of life and partly because of burnout. And for anyone concerned - I'm fine, just a little busier than I used to be. | 01:48:21 |
| jonringer | For what it's worth, I think you did a great job figsoda . Take some time, you deserve it :) | 01:50:13 |
| jonringer | Weijia: not sure when you want to meet, but I think it would be good to come up with the release schedule and plan the next steps up until ZHF. | 01:52:00 |
| jonringer | figsoda: don't forget about release editor as well :) | 01:52:13 |
| figsoda | In reply to @jonringer:matrix.orgWould you mind picking the release editors for me? I asked alejandrosame and they would be busy during 24.05, so we would need 2 new release editors. Thanks! | 01:53:57 |
| jonringer | ajaxbits, jacg, and krbylit all aplied. Unfortunately not super familiar with any of these candidates | 01:55:12 |

 Weijia | In reply to @jonringer:matrix.orgProbably this Saturday or Sunday evening in UTC+2? I'm counting 7 hours of time difference between us. | 02:27:14 |
 rick.special joined the room. | 02:32:40 | |
 danielrf joined the room. | 02:38:33 | |
 PowerUser64 | Weijia: I'm on PDT, which is UTC-7 right now. If you schedule a meeting, feel free to ping me and tell me when it is. I'll be fairly busy the next few days, but I'll be more available closer to and after the end of this month. What's our timeline for 24.5? | 04:04:06 |
| Weijia | https://nixos.github.io/release-wiki/Release-Process.html | 04:10:50 |
| Weijia | We're almost -7 weeks from release, so probably should start the first event asap | 04:12:02 |
| jonringer | I was expecting to go through 4.1 and 4.2 together https://nixos.github.io/release-wiki/Once-Appointed.html | 04:14:25 |
| jonringer | a lot of the "work" is pretty "copy, update, paste". If you feel confident to do it on your own, feel free to do so. Otherwise we go through it together | 04:16:06 |

| Weijia | Feature freeze announcement: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/303286 | 06:17:47 |
 Randy Eckenrode | I assume cctools/ld64 would fall under binutils. Where does bumping the effective minimum version on Darwin fall on the breaking scale? The cctools/ld64 update may require a bump to 10.14 as the effective minimum version for building things. | 16:09:22 |
| Weijia | In reply to @reckenrode:matrix.orgI think I'd ask for an x86_64-darwin jobset (and a public announcement) before approving a PR on this, even if it only contains a treewide substitution of "10.12" by "10.14" | 16:47:08 |
| jonringer | 10.14 is kind of "big" for macOS, C++14 (IIRC), and a few other tooling improvements landed in that release | 16:48:48 |
| jonringer | However, it was released in Sept 2018, so I think ~5 years is a pretty low bar | 16:49:20 |
| Randy Eckenrode | In reply to @wegank:matrix.orgIt’s not an SDK change. That will come post 24.05. The updated cctools and ld64 have a hard requirement on using libdispatch APIs that are only available in 10.14. They can be built with the 11.0 SDK and a 10.14 deployment target in the meantime until the default SDK is changed. | 16:49:37 |
| Randy Eckenrode | In reply to @jonringer:matrix.orgWe use our own libc++, so even 10.12 has whatever the latest is. This ld64 update would bring Darwin up to the version of ld-classic shipped in Xcode 15.3. The cctools update handles signatures better. If it’s a linker-signed ad hoc signature, strip&c will update the signature automatically without a hook or wrapper. | 16:52:12 |
