 🐰 xiaoxiangmoe | * I want to switched to a source build when I have free time | 15:27:21 |
 bumperboat | why does it fail to update if repology hasnt updated to the version in master yet? https://nixpkgs-update-logs.nix-community.org/rbw/2025-01-06.log | 15:29:04 |
| bumperboat | seems like a lot of wasted cycles if there is a small bump released, waiting for a build to make it into unstable, then for repology to pick it up so nixpkgs-update will then bump again | 15:31:54 |
| bumperboat | oh i see https://github.com/nix-community/nixpkgs-update/issues/38 | 15:47:12 |

| 🐰 xiaoxiangmoe | Can we add a button or API to trigger @r-ryantm | 05:41:54 |
| 🐰 xiaoxiangmoe | 🤔 I found some package can update but the r-ryantm's regular check update schedule has not yet arrived. | 05:43:18 |
 Ramses 🇵🇸 | In that case, you can just run the update script locally and create a PR. With the gh tool it's very quick | 12:28:02 |
| 🐰 xiaoxiangmoe | But If this is created by me, it can't auto merged by my comment | 12:39:15 |
| Ramses 🇵🇸 | Yeah that's true. PRs made by or approved by the package maintainer, often get merged pretty quickly though (I often go through that list to merge the uncontroversial version bumps) | 14:17:38 |

 asymmetric | hey, is any action needed on nixpkgs-update's part when repology changes the name of a package?
pebble had a name clash between two separate projects, which was causing build failures. now they've renamed the two projects to different names, and pebble doesn't exist anymore: https://repology.org/project/pebble/versions

| 09:29:11 |
| asymmetric | so basically, we should be tracking this one: https://repology.org/project/pebble-acme-test-server/versions | 09:30:01 |

 zowoq | Setting null for updateScript doesn't work (and can sometimes break the bot).
This should work for the updateScript:
passthru = lib.optionalAttrs (app-type == "main") {
updateScript = writeShellScript "update-rquickshare.sh" ''
${lib.getExe nix-update} rquickshare
sed -i 's/version = "0.0.0";/' pkgs/by-name/rq/rquickshare/package.nix
${lib.getExe nix-update} rquickshare-legacy
'';
};
Would also need to add rquickshare-legacy to https://github.com/nix-community/nixpkgs-update/blob/main/src/Skiplist.hs, currently it isn't otherwise possible to tell the bot to ignore the legacy version without splitting them into separate packages.
| 01:34:52 |
| zowoq | I didn't notice that there were links in the topic. I keep https://nix-community.org/update-bot/ updated with links for the bot but I'll need to get someone to update the topic or give me permissions. | 01:43:13 |
| zowoq | No, shouldn't need to do anything as the package versions will be correct after the rename. | 01:49:23 |
