Commit e424a29 cannot be backported because it breaks haskellPackages.gi-vips.

What can we do to unblock this? A straightforward solution would be to update haskellPackages.gi-vips to 8.0.6 which fixes the build failure, but it seems the haskell package set is a bit special since the derivations seem to be automatically generated with a bunch of scripts (?).
The only change in gi-vips from 8.0.5 to 8.0.6 is fixing this build failure, so I believe it's fine to backport: https://github.com/haskell-gi/haskell-gi/commits/master/bindings/Vips

Another solution could be to override the vips version in the immich derivation directly and leave the vips package at 8.16.1.

What's the problem with leaving 25.05 on 140.1?

[diogotcorreia]

@dotlambda The mobile app has compatibility issues when connecting to older versions of the server. Given that most people have app auto-update enabled on their phones (it's the default for the Play Store and I believe it's also the case for Apple's App Store), this could cause issues.

Upstream has highlighted this in the latest release notes, for example:

From 1.143.0:

If you're still experiencing issues with remote assets or albums not showing up on the mobile app, please ensure that your server is updated to the latest version. If you are still having issues, try logging out and back in.

From 1.142.1:

For the new timeline to pull the correct information, please consider updating your server to the latest version. We have seen reports that the timeline isn't working because it was connecting to an older version of the server

PS: I don't mind helping with this backport, just let me know the preferred approach regarding vips and I'll open a PR.

Another solution could be to override the vips version in the immich derivation directly and leave the vips package at 8.16.1.

Let's do this. We should introduce a new package vips_8_17 on 25.05.
