 Guilhem | If I understand correctly:
nix-update is a tool that takes a package inside nixpkgs and try to find a newer upstream versionnixpkgs-update a bot which run nix-update or other update scripts for you and open PR on nixpkgs

This appears to be a nix-update bug https://github.com/Mic92/nix-update/issues/271 "bug", more that upstream is not tagging things properly and nix-update does no semver comparison, so it could be more a feature request | 09:23:13 |

"bug", more that upstream is not tagging things properly and nix-update does no semver comparison, so it could be more a feature request How is upstream not tagging things properly? In the case of Stargazer, I am upstream as well, so if I could be doing something better I'd like to know about it. | 18:57:33 |
| Sandro 🐧 | IIRC the project did tag a release as latest which wasn't really latest | 18:58:01 |
| Sandro 🐧 | so I would think avoid mixing releases and tags, too | 18:58:21 |
| Sashanoraa.gay (she/her, ze/zir) | I use Sourcehut which doesn't have "releases" like Github does | 18:58:58 |
| Sashanoraa.gay (she/her, ze/zir) | I also don't think there's a way to specificy which release is the "latest". At least not that I'm aware of. | 18:59:31 |
| Sashanoraa.gay (she/her, ze/zir) | It is true that the latest release wasn't the most recent tag, but that's because I tagged the backport releases after the latest one. | 19:01:00 |
| Sandro 🐧 | sounds like a limitation of there platform and nix-update needs semver sorting | 19:25:49 |

 asymmetric | hey, i've deployed a bot that allows you to subscribe to build error notifications on matrix. it's at @nixpkgs-update-notify-bot:matrix.org. feel free to try it out by sending help, still beta quality so feel free to send bug reports my way :)
the code is at https://github.com/asymmetric/nixpkgs-update-notifier

it's not answering me | 14:34:15 |
| Guilhem | symphorien: did you wait for it to join the room before asking help ? | 14:37:05 |
| symphorien | according to the timeline of my home server, yes | 14:46:05 |
| symphorien | but I tried again just in case, and I got no answer | 14:46:22 |

sent an image. oh it's because you have encryption enabled in that room.. atm the bot doesn't handle any encryption. i should definitely mention this, and potentially revisit that decision. it didn't seem important to have e2ee for such a bot, and it made implementation way easier.
anyway, let's move to dms 🙂
| 14:49:32 |
| symphorien | oh my bad, that the default setting | 14:50:01 |

Good idea, this method can also be used for hydra failures | 16:34:40 |
 linj | iirc, hydra can send email notification already | 16:36:15 |
| linj | just isn't enabled | 16:36:34 |
| aleksana 🏳️⚧️ (force me to bed after 18:00 UTC) | In reply to @me:linj.tech
just isn't enabled There's an obvious reason for that | 16:37:35 |
| linj | ah, so you mean a opt-in notification | 16:38:19 |
| linj | not just notification | 16:38:29 |
| linj | * ah, so you mean an opt-in notification | 16:39:27 |

Good idea, this method can also be used for hydra failures yeah, i've thought of that as well.. bit of a larger project, but doable | 18:56:02 |
| asymmetric | someone over at discourse posted about nix-review-tools, which i didn't know about, and already does some of the polling of hydra evals | 18:57:31 |
