Wednesday triaging session

Attendees: @edolstra @roberth @ericson2314

Triaging

Darwin builds forking off processes never finish · Issue #8232 · NixOS/nix · GitHub

Approved a solution to be implemented. Not assigned.

Track parsing and evaluation activities by jfroche · Pull Request #7247 · NixOS/nix · GitHub

  • @edolstra: reminds me of a conversation about OpenTelemetry standard logging.
  • @roberth: could be useful in NixOps4 too
  • We’d like Nix to emit native OpenTelemetry JSON
  • Needs to be reviewed for usefulness in the other loggers, such as the progress bar
  • Would be sufficient to lower their level if it adds too much noise
  • @edolstra: We might have added some similar activities since this was opened
  • Needs to be reviewed that the spans cover the right processes

Assigned to @edolstra

Remove overly-strict ref check by amarshall · Pull Request #5871 · NixOS/nix · GitHub

We use libgit2 for most things now, so we only have to audit a git clone/fetch call.

Labeled for review

Add a tarball of the manual to Hydra build outputs · Issue #9275 · NixOS/nix · GitHub

Approved, assigned to @fricklerhandwerk

  • @ericson2314: Now that we have a more broken-up build, it is unclear to me if we need a tarball, or would just downloading the store path as is (via NAR etc.) work fine. It doesn’t matter — @fricklerhandwerk can do whatever is easiest — but just including the thought here for posterity.

Discussion and Review

Support fine-grained database schema migrations by edolstra · Pull Request #11668 · NixOS/nix · GitHub

Adding @Mic92 to the team, welcome!
