lon: oh you deleted, (hehe), I actually didn't even think about it and had completely forgotten nixpkgs didn't have CUDA 13 yet (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/437723)

Thanks for looking into it all the same

Looks okay for me, some other problem? CUDA build?

I've been using this one-liner while cobbling it together

git show cc6098112333e5ac645aa14f2ea9f70878d8fe22:pkgs/development/python-modules/vllm/default.nix \
> pkgs/development/python-modules/vllm/default.nix \
&& git diff pkgs/development/python-modules/vllm/default.nix \
&& ./pkgs/development/python-modules/vllm/update.sh \
&& git diff pkgs/development/python-modules/vllm/default.nix

cc6098112333e5ac645aa14f2ea9f70878d8fe22 being the Nixpkgs revision with vLLM v0.10.2, you can also test it with other revisions corresponding to other semantic versions. I almost went to town writing tests, but I'd have enough fun by then

yeah, see https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Nixpkgs/Update_Scripts

and you use e.g. passthru.updateScript = ./update.sh

(apparently), it's my first time writing one, will have to wait and see if @r-ryantm uses it
