 Anton | Am I interpreting the logs correctly, that aerc's updateScript has been executed by r-ryantm 5 times in 2025 with those ~14 days between each execution? Or are there additional attempts not being logged? | 16:31:12 |
 hexa | all attempts get logged | 20:21:21 |
| Anton | Thanks! I was wondering about the frequency of attempts. | 20:55:54 |
| hexa | me too 🙂 | 22:48:42 |

 Gaétan Lepage | It is a bit annoying that the bot automatically substitutes ${version} with ${src.tag} in meta.changelog.
Is this made on purpose? If not, where should I send a PR to disable this? | 10:20:09 |

It is a bit annoying that the bot automatically substitutes ${version} with ${src.tag} in meta.changelog.
Is this made on purpose? If not, where should I send a PR to disable this? It is more accurate in some cases, and wrong in others. Would be good to disable, in my opinion. PR probably to the nixpkgs-update repo? | 20:45:00 |
| Gaétan Lepage | Yes, as there is no clear consensus on which one is best, I don't think that the update script should enforce one of them. | 21:11:56 |
| Gaétan Lepage | I'll have a look | 21:12:26 |

nixpkgs-update automatically fetches new releases from packages published on GitHub without an explicit passthru.updateScript set.

I didn't know that! I thought that specifying updateScript was necessary for the bot to work. (except for python packages where this is set by default). | 21:16:58 |
| SigmaSquadron | As far as I understand, that's what the documentation means by "It uses package repository information from Repology.org, the GitHub releases API, and the package passthru.updateScript to generate a lists of outdated packages." (emphasis mine)
I'm not exactly sure if that's for some internal "list of outdated packages" or the actual update itself, so take this with a grain of salt. | 21:20:14 |
| SigmaSquadron | I'm just more concerned about making such reviews for first-time contributors; we can merge a package as-is, and add non-essential improvements later on. | 21:21:28 |

(ditto for using lib.cmakeBool, since that library is really only used in situations where the boolean isn't always true or false. The string flag is fine.) | 21:23:14 |

It’s not necessary for the bot, but can be helpful for maintainers running the update scripts in repo | 12:23:10 |

| xenos76 | Hi,
I'm facing the following problem while updating hplip:
error: builder for '/nix/store/3szdhxqbxk0npbf1ihqkdhqb7qidv6gj-hplip-3.24.4-plugin.run.drv' failed with exit code 1;

In my understanding, the issue should was already addressed with:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/391727
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/391529
but today's update from 24.11 failed: how can I check if the patch made it to the stable branch? Am I missing something else?

that PR targets the master branch, so it will not hit the stable channels ever. (you can see its progress towards e.g. nixos-unstable at https://nixpk.gs/pr-tracker.html?pr=391529)
I've now tagged it for backport to 24.11, so a backport PR has been automatically created: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/395044
however, this will still need to be manually merged and make its way through hydra before it's available in e.g. the nixos-24.11 branch | 00:18:53 |
