 leona | i think this would better represent reality | 09:12:05 |
| leona | ah right | 09:12:09 |
| leona | sigh | 09:12:11 |
| leona | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/390768 just pushed it now | 09:12:21 |
| leona | happy to get feedback | 09:12:25 |
|  @federicodschonborn:matrix.org changed their display name from This LEGO© Worm™ is licensed under the terms of the he/him or they/them pronouns, at your choice to This LEGO® Worm™ is licensed under the terms of the he/him or they/them pronouns, at your choice. | 09:13:09 |
| leona | With a merge 1 or more days before branch-off would be good to let hydra complete eval in time. Otherwise i might just delay branch-off for a few hours. | 09:13:17 |

| Yureka (she/her) | Hi!
I wanted to ch | 10:46:32 |

| Yureka (she/her) | (if any at all) | 10:46:55 |
| leona | this was my idea to have a beta period while still before branch-off. This is not really sensible anymore with the current timing also it might confuse tooling to have a pre->beta->pre switch on master. beta will now be with the branch-off as with the previous release | 10:48:47 |
| leona | We might need to search for something better for the next release | 10:48:55 |
| Yureka (she/her) | So, now the beta will start with the branchoff? | 10:49:15 |
| leona | ye | 10:49:21 |
| leona | * yes | 10:49:22 |
| Yureka (she/her) | thanks! In case anyone else was confused about it, could you add back a row "start of beta period (moved from 2025-05-dd)" in the table? | 10:51:30 |
| leona | will do | 10:51:43 |
 Grimmauld (any/all) | Now that staging has unrestricted changes, PRs need backport staging-25.05, no? We do not have that branch/tag yet | 14:56:43 |
| leona | Good question. The release-wiki says that the staging-25.05 branch will be created with branch-off. But I agree that this feels off | 15:14:19 |

 Sandro | Any thoughts about https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/404514 ? | 12:17:13 |
 Alyssa Ross | Doesn't look like it has any release management impact | 12:17:55 |
| Sandro | I didn't know if it could have breaking impact | 12:22:26 |
| Sandro | Works for me on my few machines but no idea if it is too late | 12:22:39 |
| Alyssa Ross | Looks very unlikely to be breaking | 12:27:30 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | Its optional and defaults to old behavior, so even if it were breaking noone would be using it yet. Looks fine. | 13:04:06 |
