 hexa | the package uses a custom update script which is basically an unstable git updater | 00:08:38 |

| Nindouja | Hello ! I'm kinda new to nix and started contributing to a package already released in nixpkgs. the thing is it was once added to nixpkgs but the version never got updgraded.
I'm looking to automate this process as part of the package release process and I'd like some insight as to what's is the regular way of doing such a thing ?
I found no github actions "wrapping" nixpkgs-update". But I'm not familiar with github actions either (I'm a Gitlab every day user) and maybe i'm going the wrong way there. Any pointer into the correct direction will be welcomed ! | 18:57:35 |
 nim65s | Nindouja: you can look at https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#var-passthru-updateScript | 20:26:51 |
| Nindouja | Ho I see; so if I understand correctly, as the package is hosted on Github, uses Github releases and is declared with a simple call to rustPlatform.buildRustPackage (nothing fancy).
Then I should be able to simply add passthru.updateScript = nix-update-script { }; to the package declaration and the package should be auto-updated. And that's all ? | 20:33:15 |
| Nindouja | It looks too easy, but it make a lot of sense. | 20:33:38 |
| nim65s | yes, but maybe if the default is good enough, there is no need to set it. what package is it ? | 20:37:13 |

| Nindouja | Omg nice ! | 20:38:54 |
| Nindouja | I got confused because i thought the previous version was missing. Where it fact there was no intermediate version I was looking for.
But it made me think it was not auto updated | 20:39:47 |
| Nindouja | Thanks a lot for your help ! | 20:39:57 |

 asymmetric | hey, any ideas why new go-ethereum releases are not being picked up? i don't see any logs, so it's not a failure to update. is it just that the builders have a long backlog?
cf. https://nixpkgs-update-logs.nix-community.org/go-ethereum/ -- there have been two releases since the last run | 12:27:30 |

notion-app is created on Jan 6, but never trigged by update-bot. Is there anyway to trigger it manually? | 12:50:19 |

 linj | maybe the bot ignores unfree pkgs? | 12:54:49 |
| 🐰 xiaoxiangmoe | No | 12:55:38 |

| 🐰 xiaoxiangmoe | this is another unfree software, but not ignored by bot | 12:56:09 |
| 🐰 xiaoxiangmoe | Every commit created by maintainer can't merged by merge-bot, so I think I need some mechanics to trigger update-bot manually. | 12:58:40 |

 sorrel | the answer to this, I think: the fflogs derivation no longer works for the latest fflogs version, and nixpkgs-update is unhelpfully printing a message about unfreeness rather than The Actual Error Message. fixing the derivation then running nixpkgs-update locally works juuuust fine. | 17:14:19 |

| Anton (he/him) | 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 (he/him) | Thanks! I was wondering about the frequency of attempts. | 20:55:54 |
