 Sigmanificient | Nixpkgs has grown so much since | 13:38:37 |
| Sigmanificient | 143734 entry in packages.json | 13:39:00 |
 leona | And actually it doesn't come with a week of delay. We schedule for a week before the end of the month so we can release within the month. Here, there a scheduling problems because of the work hydra.nixos.org does. Hopefully we can improve its capacity sometime in the future. | 13:40:48 |
 jopejoe1 | We also explilictly moved the planned a release date some days before the end of the month, so that if some comes up, we would still have a buffer to release it in the month corresponding to the release versikn. | 13:41:02 |

| leona | There were quite some releases that released in December (the 35th November) ;) | 13:41:38 |
| jopejoe1 | * | 13:41:48 |
| leona | There are some discussions of supporting releases longer, but tbh in the current state of the community and infra we probably cannot do this right now | 13:42:20 |
 emily | it's best to start getting ready for a release during the beta period | 14:05:45 |
| emily | or even pre-deploying it | 14:06:04 |
 hexa | personally, I start migration steps directly after branch-off | 14:06:48 |
| emily | the post-branch-off period is to allow people to get ready and test in advance (and it should also be comparably stable for deployment to the final) | 14:06:46 |
| emily | I don't think anyone likes the delays though :) | 14:07:08 |

 vcunat | The last staging-next is in nixpkgs master now. (just for reference; many of you know already) | 10:19:35 |
| vcunat | The big channels will catch up in about a day, I hope. But note that this iteration sadly also contained some breaking changes, as the schedule was a bit tight and didn't align too well. | 10:20:14 |

| hexa | nixos container tests are currently broken after the staging-merge. | 00:58:55 |
| hexa | honestly, one should be added to the tested set | 00:59:06 |

| hexa | this is now fixed and we're adding it to the tested set for unstable and unstable-small | 12:09:10 |
| hexa | kudos to zowoq for picking all that up | 12:09:21 |
