@GrahamcOfBorg eval

Would you mind rebasing this branch on to master? That will clear the ofborg-internal-error error, now that I fixed the bug I was seeing while evaluating this PR.

Hello, I'm a bot and I thank you in the name of the community for your contributions.

Nixpkgs is a busy repository, and unfortunately sometimes PRs get left behind for too long. Nevertheless, we'd like to help committers reach the PRs that are still important. This PR has had no activity for 180 days, and so I marked it as stale, but you can rest assured it will never be closed by a non-human.

If this is still important to you and you'd like to remove the stale label, we ask that you leave a comment. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". But there's a bit more you can do:

If you received an approval by an unprivileged maintainer and you are just waiting for a merge, you can @ mention someone with merge permissions and ask them to help. You might be able to find someone relevant by using Git blame on the relevant files, or via GitHub's web interface. You can see if someone's a member of the nixpkgs-committers team, by hovering with the mouse over their username on the web interface, or by searching them directly on the list.

If your PR wasn't reviewed at all, it might help to find someone who's perhaps a user of the package or module you are changing, or alternatively, ask once more for a review by the maintainer of the package/module this is about. If you don't know any, you can use Git blame on the relevant files, or GitHub's web interface to find someone who touched the relevant files in the past.

If your PR has had reviews and nevertheless got stale, make sure you've responded to all of the reviewer's requests / questions. Usually when PR authors show responsibility and dedication, reviewers (privileged or not) show dedication as well. If you've pushed a change, it's possible the reviewer wasn't notified about your push via email, so you can always officially request them for a review, or just @ mention them and say you've addressed their comments.

Lastly, you can always ask for help at our Discourse Forum, or more specifically, at this thread or at #nixos' IRC channel.

finally, I've carried this in my fork and it has made every rebase slightly more painful so looking forward to seeing this merged :)

cc @Mic92 too

Can you document the overlay approach in the vim section in the manual?

I think the following overlay should work

final: prev: {
          vimPlugins = prev.vimPlugins.extend (
            final2: prev2: {
              octo-nvim = prev.buildVimPluginFrom2Nix {
                pname = "octo-nvim";
                version = "2021-05-06";
                src = prev.fetchFromGitHub {
                  owner = "pwntester";
                  repo = "octo.nvim";
                  rev = "d92a7352516f06a457cbf8812b173abc319f7882";
                  sha256 = "1xvj3p32nzcn8rv2hscmj8sn8bfm1s2r5j1cwwnkl4zbqdbd4k5f";
                };
                meta.homepage = "https://github.com/pwntester/octo.nvim/";
              };
            }

          );
        };

but as soon as I uncomment it nix crashes:
/run/current-system/sw/bin/nixos-rebuild: line 474: 2329477 Segmentation fault (core dumped) nix "${flakeFlags[@]}" build "$flake#$flakeAttr.config.system.build.toplevel" "${extraBuildFlags[@]}" "${lockFlags[@]}".
So I would be tempted to merge now and I will add the doc once those crashes go away ?

I've added some logging feature ( update.py --debug INFO) 'cos update.py sometimes fail and it's not straightforward to know what plugin triggered the failure.

Going ahead to avoid countless rebasing. I will update the manual once nix stops crashing.

I think the following overlay should work

final: prev: {
          vimPlugins = prev.vimPlugins.extend (
            final2: prev2: {

                pname = "octo-nvim";
                version = "2021-05-06";
                src = prev.fetchFromGitHub {
                  owner = "pwntester";
                  repo = "octo.nvim";
                  rev = "d92a7352516f06a457cbf8812b173abc319f7882";
                  sha256 = "1xvj3p32nzcn8rv2hscmj8sn8bfm1s2r5j1cwwnkl4zbqdbd4k5f";
                };
                meta.homepage = "https://github.com/pwntester/octo.nvim/";
              };
            }

          );
        };

Maybe a stackoverflow (because of infinite recursion)?

@Mic92 it works now, I've opened #126633
