 asymmetric | hey, i'm planning on building a simple external service that:
- exposes a matrix bot for people to subscribe to nixpkgs-update build failures for a package
- periodically (and infrequently, e.g. once a day) parses new logs from https://nixpkgs-update-logs.nix-community.org/
- if there are new errors for a package, notifies people who have subscribed
i think this is the best way to validate the idea, and maybe one day it can be better integrated/upstreamed into nixpkgs-update, if need be

| asymmetric | i'll be using the user agent "asymmetric", in case you want to track usage | 12:19:55 |
 Philip Taron (UTC-8) | I'm quite interested. Thanks asymmetric. Please feel free to use my handle as an assigned tester. | 16:17:19 |
 Mindavi | I'm interested in that too | 17:02:54 |

i'll be using the user agent "asymmetric", in case you want to track usage better yet, the url to the project repo 🙂 | 22:39:12 |

better yet, the url to the project repo 🙂 but naming is so hard 🙈 nixpkgs-update-notify-bot? 😅 | 07:38:26 |

 shawn8901 | Is there a way how to disable r-ryantm to update a specific package? I was trying to disable vmagent for being updated (as we build it out of VictoriaMetrics package via override).
I was trying to add # nixpkgs-update: no auto update being added as comment.
https://github.com/r-ryantm/nixpkgs/blob/a9e94032782cc6f89c5fabcf5d9433b45578cad1/pkgs/by-name/vm/vmagent/package.nix#L5 Thus it did still create a PR ( https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/331673 ). I would have assumed that I would just create a PR for VictoriaMetrics now, does somebody know what is wrong? | 10:40:08 |
