Hi, i'm totally baffled as to the missing vscode-extensions.ms-python.autopep8package in the nixstore. I'm sure there has been a discussion on this, but i can't find out where.

Basically: why is it not there?

I apologize if this were to be out of topic, not exactly sure which the best room would be for this. You can just point me to whatever resource you know.

@k900:0upti.meK900Why is what not where?13:04:45

Why do we have the black-formatter vscode extension but not the autopep8 extension in the nixos packages? If you follow the link I sent it returns no results.

Has the community decided that that extension was not worth adding? And if so, is there a reason for that?

I’m trying to understand if I should spend time adding it myself: if it has been already decided by the community that it is not worth doing for some reason, then no point for me to waste time on it. And if that is the case, I would like to know what the reason is.

13:19:44
@k900:0upti.meK900 I don't think anyone decided on anything 13:20:06
@k900:0upti.meK900You can just submit a PR adding it if you want to use it13:20:12
@k900:0upti.meK900There's also a repo with an automated index of vscode extensions at https://github.com/nix-community/nix-vscode-extensions13:20:40
@k900:0upti.meK900You can just pull it from there13:20:58
@zgypa:beeper.comToe Knee MagniAh! That explains it. Thanks.13:23:35

@ryantm:matrix.orgryantm raitobezarius: No, not really. It's been an idea for a long time to have grouped package updates like that, but it hasn't been implemented. 16:52:21

@evils:nixos.devevilsoof that's a subtle link underline19:24:50
@evils:nixos.devevils(i was looking at the page :)19:25:02

@evils:nixos.devevilsok, why do all KiCad update attempts end in "Do not update GNOME during a release cycle"?19:30:21

@artturin:matrix.orgArtturinthe check here is wrong https://github.com/ryantm/nixpkgs-update/blob/8fedf8f6f29280578e335bf4483c9f88d4bcdbaa/src/Skiplist.hs#L15119:45:39
@artturin:matrix.orgArtturinjust a naive grep19:45:49
@artturin:matrix.orgArtturin maybe a better way would be to check for teams.gnome.members 19:47:29
