Admins will be upgrading ORNL GitLab Servers on Saturday, 16 May 2026, from 7 AM until 11 AM EST. Repositories will experience intermittent outages during this time.
- The default packages in `services.jenkins.packages` have been dropped, since not every Jenkins installation needs any package at all. It's more reasonable to leave it empty and let users configure what they need.
- The `pie` hardening flag has been removed and will now error, after being deprecated in 25.11. Compilers are expected to enable PIE by default, as has been common practice since 2016 outside of Nixpkgs. If a package needs `pie` disabled pass `-no-pie` in `CFLAGS`. It is unlikely this will be necessary in many cases; due to the prevalence of default PIE toolchains, most packages incompatible with PIE already pass `-no-pie`.
