raitobezarius: Regarding https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/230712#issuecomment-1557829666, might be worth pointing out that NixOS 22.11 should still receive backports for security updates isn't that orthogonal to the statement in that comment? | 15:56:26 |
 raitobezarius | It doesn't cost to repeat it, but yeah | 15:56:44 |
 infinisil | Yeah | 15:56:50 |

thanks Winter! will do. if you'd got brief advice or tips upfront, I'd be glad if you would write it here (according to your availabilty) I'll look at the current notes some time tomorrow and write that up.
You mentioned not being very happy with them; what stands out to you right now? | 02:32:15 |

I was unclear yesterday, because of a lack in sleeping hours…. I meant: I am unhappy with the input and contributions I made myself. I guess it would have been better to do small changes on the go and not let it pile up until now. but: for editing a text most (myself included) editors need the finished text and not small bits of it. to be able to better streamline language etc pp
| 02:36:41 |
| lennart | thats a fixable problem which I try to take care of after the release | 02:37:28 |
| lennart | for now, let's bring Stoat to the broader public in the best state possible :D | 02:38:36 |
| lennart | please ask, if this wasn't comprehensive | 02:42:49 |
| lennart | brief update, there was an health emergency and I needed to accompy someone to the hospital… raitobezarius and me speak tomorrow propably | 09:54:25 |

I suspect the darwin one got broken due to getting triggered before I finalized fixing my typos. I had to recreate the release-23.05 jobset because of a Hydra bug (same as with the darwin jobset): https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/issues/1288
Maybe some scripts will experience temporary issues, as it will take about an hour to evaluate and then some more hours to succeed jobs from cache.

 Robert Hensing (roberth) | Did anyone look into tooling for automating release notes? | 15:46:40 |
| lennart | Could you be more verbose what you mean by that? | 15:47:12 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | For example a program that assembles release notes from individual files to avoid merge conflicts, maybe something that uses the markdown yaml header to sort by user-specified relevance levels | 15:48:14 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | Maybe CI configuration as well | 15:48:49 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | Not sure exactly what the scope should be; it's an open question. So the goal is to make releasing easier, and some of the questions are: how can we use tooling to make our lives easier? what do others do? what tooling exist or would have to be written? | 15:51:08 |
| lennart | would you be open to discuss this after the release? because then, I at least would have more insight into it and maybe good ideas for such a tool (if its is really needed) | 15:52:26 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | I'm asking for NixOS, but also for Nix, which releases more often https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/7665 | 15:52:29 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | of course! | 15:52:34 |
| lennart | awesome! please to write me a message, if i forget | 15:53:08 |
| lennart | * awesome! please do write me a message, if i forget | 15:53:14 |

| Robert Hensing (roberth) | yeah, this is not urgent, but we'd like to eventually automate more of the release process, and a shared tool could help both projects | 15:55:07 |
| lennart | sure! | 15:55:15 |

Did anyone look into tooling for automating release notes? I wanted to do it | 16:09:57 |
