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
Autogenerating packages is one step further. But it would be nice if there
was one source where you could get more of such data from. Maybe
https://libraries.io/ some day?
To come back to the main topic, autogenerated lists in Nixpkgs. I could
imagine it would be nice if we would have also, next
I personally think that "autogenerating" packages is the next huge step
to be taken. This requires a database and dependency information for all
information.
Then all distros can benefit, not just nixos.org

Hi,
Autogenerating lists with urls and hashes has been discussed before
[1,2,3], but I like to bring it up again as I'm working on autogenerating a
list with urls and hashes for Python's PyPI packages along with other meta
data [4].
At this point I chose to only retrieve data for specific
