 @rdfg77:kde.org | ryantm: I put the script into the same directory as update.nix and use pkgs = import ./../../default.nix { };. I got
vscode 0 1
vscode-extensions.ms-python.python 0 1
vscode-extensions.vadimcn.vscode-lldb 0 1
vscodium 0 1
The vscode-lldb is not auto updated, either.

 hexa | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/200075/files | 20:15:56 |
| hexa | can someone review this? | 20:16:01 |
| hexa | not sure how referencing the shell script is supposed to work here | 20:16:24 |
| ryantm | @hexa you can test it with nix-shell maintainers/scripts/update.nix --argstr package zigbee2mqtt | 20:21:40 |
| hexa | ah great | 20:22:02 |
| hexa | wasn't sure, but that makes it error out because the script relies on being in the correct path 🙂 | 20:22:34 |

 j-k | I generally use -I nixpkgs=./. since it's being executed at the nixpkgs root. Rather than ../../../../ from where the file is | 09:53:19 |
| hexa | we cd to dirname $0 now, so not an issue | 11:55:44 |
| hexa | it gets executed from the root when nix-shell is run, but cds to the package dir to do the work in there | 11:56:26 |
| j-k | you can't cd to dirname $0 before the nix-shell shebang which is what I'm referring to | 11:56:27 |
| hexa | which is why he dropped -I nixpkgs= entirely | 11:56:48 |
| j-k | I much prefer knowing which versions of packages the update script will use, but to each their own | 11:57:36 |
| hexa | it will mostly be updated by r-ryantm now, so 🤷 | 11:58:06 |
 Sandro 🐧 | In reply to @j-k:matrix.org
I much prefer knowing which versions of packages the update script will use, but to each their own unless you have areally old nixpkgs channel/flake registry entry then this should not matter to much | 12:30:52 |
| Sandro 🐧 | but if you are using master there is a higher chance you need to build dependencies | 12:31:16 |

| hexa | we are going to want changelogs in package bump commit messages soon | 17:00:01 |
| hexa | via https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/200922 | 17:00:09 |
| hexa | nix-update has added support today and it will be included in its upcoming version | 17:00:24 |
| hexa | would be nice if nixpkgs-update would catch up 🙂 | 17:00:41 |
| hexa | it's evaluating meta.changelog already if I'm not mistaken | 17:01:16 |
| ryantm | @hexa we had this feature at one point, but it was removed because of a fear that it made the commits too big. | 17:01:19 |
| hexa | the commit messages? | 17:01:35 |
| ryantm | Yeah, sticking the GitHub changelog into the commit message. | 17:01:55 |
| hexa | no, just the URL | 17:02:05 |
| ryantm | Oh, okay sure. | 17:02:26 |
| hexa | the rationale should be pretty straight forward, but it's in that PR up there 😛 | 17:02:51 |
