hey, we would want to automate updates of vimPlugins.*. we already have a script that does that and after https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/364001 it can be run by a bot

what would it take to run nix-build -A vimPluginsUpdater && ./result/bin/vim-plugins-updater update using r-ryantm every month?

The bot has already picked up vimPluginsUpdater because it is python which has a default updateScript, need to change it so it uses itself as the updateScript and pass the update command. The bot is running other package updates in parallel so would be good to not saturate the connection to github. Because of ofborg problems updates have been slow for the last couple of months, once the backlog clears it'll be running every week, approximately.

Hello, I tried to use nixpkgs-update to update svelte-language-server from version 0.17.7 to 0.17.8. But I couldn't figure out why its not making commit of the changes.
I am not using hub, instead I have set GITHUB_TOKEN with token from gh auth token. And here is the log.

Thank you for your time!

why this update didn't work (there is a new version since april)? running locally nix-update python312Packages.eval-type-backport works
https://nixpkgs-update-logs.nix-community.org/python312Packages.eval-type-backport/2024-12-15.log

EDIT: looks like this update causes some build failures, weird that it is not displayed in the log

In reply to @zowoq:matrix.org
Not sure why but the package updateScript thinks the current version is the newest version.
