Hello again, last time we bumped the packages count to a round 100k, but this might happen again in the future and the original issue is about the value being hard-coded.

Any plan to integrate a script to automatically bump package count on both search.nixos.org & nixpkgs? I proposed a simple script on the issue, which can surely be improved.

I don't know anything about elm, and I am unsure on what to exactly do to help, so your help would be appreciated to sort this out!

I managed to simplify my script a lot by using the auto redirect link, now it outputs a json of both package and options count.

#!/usr/bin/env nix-shell
#!nix-shell -i bash -p curl jq brotli

function parse_unstable_json() {
    local url="https://channels.nixos.org/nixos-unstable/$1.json.br"
    echo $(                \
      curl -L "$url"       \
      | brotli -d --stdout \
      | jq "$2")
}

pkg_count=$(parse_unstable_json "packages" ".packages | length")
opt_count=$(parse_unstable_json "options" "length")

echo "{ 'packages': $pkg_count, 'options': $opt_count }" | tr "'" '"'

which gives { "packages": 111413, "options": 18524 }

thilobillerbeck (avocadoom): Would it be ok to merge https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage/pull/1399 as it is now ... and you open new PR with more cleanups? Just to save you time on rebasing and resolving conflicts.

I'm too tired by this all, so I don't know if I'll send a PR, but considering perma-banned individuals are conspiring and staking FUD on the subreddit, I think that demoting it wasn't sufficient... it is a bad look to leave this on the official page imo

Either way do we even have redditors who might be suited for that task?
