So you had a very similar idea about update scripts. We should chat about that; I think there should be a system in place for derivations to specify how the next version can be found and if possible how to automatically update the version tags & hashes. Those can obviously not be executed by nix itself, but by other systems like the nixos monitor. -- Proudly written in Mutt with Vim on NixOS. Q: Why is this email five sentences or less?
