Motivation for this change

While the project is still seeing commits coming in, there has not been a release in a while.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • 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 nox --run "nox-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)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Sorry, something went wrong.

  1. Please be more specific about large and noticeable fixes or features that are missing in the latest release despite being committed a long time ago — there are projects with rare releases, but by default we consider tracking releases to be the way to go.

Also, is there an upstream issue about a new release?

  1. Is it possible to pick a different commit in master to avoid need for also fetching a fix from an unmerged PR? There is always a risk that this specific commit will end up rebased or something…

  2. Is there something heavily broken in the latest release? Adding a fresh-from-VCS version requires some motivation, but your real motivation is probably enough (but should be documented). Removing latest-release version in favour of some fresh commit requires a very strong reason.

  1. dvtm releases are uncommon because the common use-case is to compile from source and apply patches as configuration. Since the last release, there are a few fixes for Darwin, and the patch added as part of this commit fixes a dirty buffer issue which makes it unusable with certain programs.

  2. No. Would you prefer I inlined the patch?

  3. The latest release doesn't work with Darwin (except with the patch I provided last time), and has dirty buffer issues in some cases. I could rejig this and submit a larger patch based of the previous release if that would be more palatable? I just thought that this was more honest...

I think Darwin support is usually a good enough reason to add an extra version (if there is no stable source URL for that extra patch yet, I guess inlining is a better solution), or to add a small-ish amount of small-ish patches.

As for complete replacement, I want to know @vrthra opinion as the maintainer.

It looks like by the previous upstream standards, there should have been a couple of releases since the last one, so maybe after merging PR-86 you could ask about that…

This should be named dvtm-<date> rather than dvtm-master: https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#sec-package-naming

Sorry, I rebased to change the commit message to reflect the name change. Additional to your comment, i also switched to using fetchpatch as per the guidelines.

Just noticed another issue — since the name is changing from dvtm to dvtm-unstable, I think this update won't be caught by nix-env -u. It might make sense to split the unstable dvtm into its own toplevel attr.

Ok, so, I'm just going to leave dvtm-0.15 in there if that is the consensus. I've added dvtm-unstable which can update faster than the release cycle. IF a new release is ever going to happen, people who use nixpkgs.dvtm will get it, but they won't get this update.

The commit message should be "dvtm-unstable: init at 2018-03-31" (sorry about all the fuss…)
