| Lordie | Hi, I see that in the wiki there's an easy way to update the node packages in nixpkgs, by running ./pkgs/development/node-packages/generate.sh, however, running that script is not automated and I couldn't find a issue for it | 14:45:43 |
| Lordie | But I imagined that there's a reason for it not being automated yet | 14:45:50 |
| Lordie | I don't know if running that script would fit into this project | 14:46:20 |
 j-k | the script takes fooooreeeeeveeeeer to run.
I think nixpkgs-updates avoids any of the big language attributesets like JS & haskell AFAIK | 14:49:16 |
 hexa | it works for python packages, which is kinda big | 14:53:13 |
| hexa | but if you care about a package within nodePackages, and it uses packages-lock.json (aka npm), convert it to use buildNpmPackage and use nix-update as the updateScript | 14:53:56 |
