Motivation for this change
  • common-updater: add update script to all-packages
  • xfce: use updateScript from pkgs

See also #84292.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Why not just use common-updater-scripts?

Why not just use common-updater-scripts?

common-updater-script is lower level. It does not help looking for newer versions at upstream. The new version should be passed as a command line argument.

update-script.nix is capable of searching for available versions upstream. Internally it calls common-updater-script, though.

It can be used in a derivation like this:

  passthru.updateScript = pkgs.updateScript {
    inherit pname version;
    attrPath = "xfce.${pname}";
    versionLister = xfce.archiveLister category pname;
  };
  passthru.updateScript = pkgs.updateScript {
    inherit pname version;
    attrPath = "xfce.thunar-dropbox-plugin";
    versionLister = xfce.gitLister src.meta.homepage;
  };
  passthru.updateScript = pkgs.updateScript {
    inherit pname version;
    versionLister = "${pkgs.common-updater-scripts}/bin/list-git-tags ${sr.meta.homepage}";
    odd-unstable = true;
  };

That is very nice. Though maybe a name like genericUpdateScript or genericUpdater might be better to avoid name clashes.
