Release blog post by the infamous “please remove my packages from NixOS” developer: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/consider-to-avoid-adding-library-dependencies-from-frenck/315185/20
That looks like a cherry picked starting point. Read the whole thread for the full context.
fwiw, I don’t think anyone comes out looking particularly good. However, attempting to describe Frenck as infamous here and now is a bit rich. That minor disagreement all happened during the pandemic and I’m sure we have all passed a lot of water since then.
Feels like there’s a lot of context missing in both your post here and where you link.
Well, early days, but after doing a full backup I went with the update and this appears to be doing ok so far. My recorder is working, my history and energy dashboard still exist unlike any of the .7 releases.
This allowed me to upgrade Alarmo (which had a dependency above .6) and fixes a disarm bug.
Hoping HA for me is back fully functional!
