Just built and tested on NixOS 17.09 too, both packages passed with flying colours.

Can you rename both commits the following way:

• atom: 1.21.2->1.22.0
• atom-beta: 1.22.0-beta1->1.23.0-beta0

I shall if you teach me how to. My knowledge of git is fairly rudimentary.

$ git clone git@github.com:fusion809/nixpkgs
$ git checkout patch-3
$ git rebase -i HEAD~2 # opens an editor

• replace pick with reword in front of each commit line; save & close your editor
• Now git will start for both commits your editor with the title and gives you the opportunity to edit message
• since you have changed history, you need to use the --force flag when pushing changes:

git push --force origin patch-3

I did this in GitHub, this repo is over 600 MB in size so I'd rather not have to git clone it.

Github does not offer rebasing yet in its. I can also do the rewording. But people are sometimes offended, if I change there commits.

I suppose I'm likely to request a bump again sometime in the future. So I cloned it and pushed it.
