Self-merging a huge rebuild directly to the master branch?

[vcunat]

What was the basis for this decision for merging directly to master? No explanation, no reference.

[alyssais]

I think the decision referred to was here.

this is a blocker for neovim nightly for over 2 weeks now

Current nixpkgs master contains everything that was on staging branch 10 days ago, so I'm not sure where this "over 2 weeks" comes from.

So far I'm inclined to say it's basically the same as Emacs packages, even with a large overlap in the rebuilt package sets at a quick glance:

I don't think you understood. neovim-nightly does not build without this tree-sitter version.

I decided to send it to master after discussing with a couple of other nixpkgs comitters/maintainers/contributors in the Matrix channel about it. They said that if since these PRs were usually sent to master (previous tree-sitter updates) and that almost all of the rebuilds are just text editor plugins then it should be fine. I can defer though.

Big tree-sitter rebuilds merged to master recently? I failed to find them quickly, but maybe I searched wrong

For example: #225148

That was in my listing. But that was a year ago which doesn't match my "recently".

I let it pass. But I'd really dislike such merges to become common, at least unless we have evidence that they really are cheap for the infra (I don't think they are).
