@evils:nixos.devevilsso, i fixed the update script for the KiCad package, and added 2 more packages (kicad-testing and kicad-testing-small) now automatic updates seem to work, maybe too well it's doing some duplicate work by also trying to update the -small packages (or maybe the full package is the one that should be ignored, it includes a massive set of 3D models that have never failed to "build") 17:57:52
@evils:nixos.devevils * so, i fixed the update script for the KiCad package, and added 2 more packages (kicad-testing and kicad-testing-small) now automatic updates seem to work, maybe too well it's doing some duplicate work by also trying to update the -small packages (or maybe the full package is the one that should be ignored, it includes a massive set of 3D models that have never failed to "build" (but exceed hydra size limit))17:59:21
@evils:nixos.devevils though it also seems to be skipping kicad-unstable(-small) 18:03:30
@evils:nixos.devevilsah doh, the kicad-unstable attempts are probably failing because there's new dependencies, for which i have a local update, but was waiting hoping the test failure would be resolved xD18:05:47

As a maintainer of a package on nixpkgs, what should I be doing to ensure that nixpkgs-update can keep my package up to date? I guess I had expected it would create PRs even if the build is failing, and it would be my job to fix those PRs. evils recently explained that that's not the case, and reading the code, I believe they're right.

Should I just be periodically running a command like nix-shell maintainers/scripts/update.nix --argstr maintainer jfly to make sure my packages are staying fresh?

@evils:nixos.devevilsha, was considering pinging you here :)05:00:07
@evils:nixos.devevils * ha, was considering pinging you here :) i'd also love to know if there's a way to be informed05:15:48

@jfly:matrix.orgJeremy Fleischman (jfly)hmm... GitHub releases and repology don't feel actionable to me. If I get a notification from repology about a new version of some package, shouldn't I still wait (a day? two?) for nixpkgs-update to post a PR?09:05:07
