I'm the maintainer of copyparty, a python package with a few variants like copypart-min. r-ryantm created PRs for all the variants but didn't make a PR for copyparty:

• https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/467327
• https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/467328
• https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/467329

How do I convince r-ryantm to update copyparty but not copyparty-*? Will adding the # nixpkgs-update: no auto update work even when the meta and version attrs are in a different file?

Adding the prefix copyparty- to the skiplist is an easier option.

Hi, i'm totally baffled as to the missing vscode-extensions.ms-python.autopep8package in the nixstore. I'm sure there has been a discussion on this, but i can't find out where.

Basically: why is it not there?

I apologize if this were to be out of topic, not exactly sure which the best room would be for this. You can just point me to whatever resource you know.

Why do we have the black-formatter vscode extension but not the autopep8 extension in the nixos packages? If you follow the link I sent it returns no results.

Has the community decided that that extension was not worth adding? And if so, is there a reason for that?

I’m trying to understand if I should spend time adding it myself: if it has been already decided by the community that it is not worth doing for some reason, then no point for me to waste time on it. And if that is the case, I would like to know what the reason is.
