Now, when I've done some package upgrades and downgrades, I really like the idea of a separate srcs repo. I'd like to contribute 3 ideas.
1. Use some of monitor.nixos.org logic for srcs updating 2. Autoextract src information from nixpkgs to srcs 3. Add meta.updateSrcsScript or meta.listAllSrcs in cases where monitor.nixos.org heuristics are not smart enough 24 квіт. 2016 8:34 пп, користувач "Freddy Rietdijk" <[email protected]> написав: > Autogenerating packages is one step further.
