 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 |
| j-k | well for python most things are standalone right? like the package has it's own src. rather than a mega sources.json that gets mapped out to many packages? | 14:54:31 |
| hexa | yep | 14:55:33 |

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 do you mean, pulling it out of nixpkgs/pkgs/development/node-packages into nixpkgs/pkgs/development/foo/bar and make a derivation using buildNpmPackage instead? | 15:02:01 |
