Awesome, thanks!

Might make sense to dump this into a script (or a comment in the worst
case) along with the derivation.

A little sidenote ;). I want to make easier to create new or update
existing Go apps and its dependencies with tools like go2nix.
I need a feedback for my proposal
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/13819#issuecomment-214992581
There'e a PoC of 2 packages generated with modified go2nix that shares same
dependencies in json file.

Re: [Nix-dev] upgrading packer

Sorry, I made it sound more easy that it was. For some reason I thought
they had vendored all the dependencies.

I took a stab at the update yesterday and here is the PR:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/15426/files

What I had to do was checkout packer at the specific tag, run `godep
restore` and then `go2nix save`. Copy the generated `default.nix` to
overwrite the `deps.nix` file. And then the tricky part was to get packer
to build properly using all of this since they have a custom build pipeline.

Re: [Nix-dev] upgrading packer

[Samuel]

What do you mean by upgrading packer itself? If I just bump the packer
reference in deps.nix, that cannot update the rest of the dependencies
(they are part of the expression, so they need to be evaluated before
building). Am I misunderstanding your suggestion?

[zimbatm]

Did you try just upgrading packer itself? I believe those dependencies are
included during the build now

[Nix-dev] upgrading packer

[Samuel]

Hi,

I took a brief look into upgrading packer in nixpkgs, but it seems
that it has a long list of hardcoded dependencies
(https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/tools/packer/deps.nix).
Is there any automation to bump those or is it a manual process?

In the meanwhile I've written an expression that downloads the
official binaries:

https://github.com/samuelrivas/monorepo/blob/packer/nix/pkgs/development/tools/packer/default.nix

But I assume that's not a change that I should pull request. Just let
me know otherwise.

Best
