Rebased onto current master. Created hydra jobset: https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixpkgs/gcc-9 Already built firefox and its dependencies successfully. This might be an easy bump. \o/ |
Some tests don't work well with gcc9 atm, those tests use CC from `buildPackages.stdenv.cc` which had to be modified for Aarch64 as well.
Newer `iasl`-versions disallow strings within certain declarations[1] which breaks the virtualbox build as it relies on exactly this behavior[2]. This should be removed again when updating virtualbox to 6.1. [1] https://acpica.org/node/172 [2] https://hydra.nixos.org/build/108774352

The Hydra builds look good. Is there an intent to merge this in the coming days? Both this branch and staging-next seem ready, so depending on how we merge we will need to do at least one more rebuild of either. |

@FRidh Yup, that was our intention. There are still some minor packages that are failing but are difficult to fix. The maintainers have to take care of those. Since I'm not involved in the current staging processes, when would be the best time to merge in your opinion? We wanted to do another master-merge and eval since we wanted to test if the go aarch64 build fail is finally fixed. |
