nix-update ========== Update nix packages likes it is 2020. This tool is still in early development. Dependencies ------------ - python 3 - `nix-prefetch <https://github.com/msteen/nix-prefetch/>`__ Features -------- - automatically figure out the latest version of packages from: - github.com - gitlab.com - pypi - update buildRustPackage's cargoSha256 - update buildGoModule's modSha256 - build and run the resulting package (see `--build`, `--run` or `--shell` flag) Installation ------------ `nix-update` is included in `NUR <https://github.com/nix-community/NUR>`__. To use it run without installing it, use: :: $ nix-shell -p nur.repos.mic92.nix-update To install it: :: $ nix-env -f '<nixpkgs>' -iA nix-update To run it from the git repository: :: $ nix-build $ ./result/bin/nix-update Note that this asserts formatting with the latest version of `black <https://github.com/psf/black>`__, so you may need to specify a more up to date version of NixPkgs: :: $ nix-build -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/nixpkgs-unstable.tar.gz $ ./result/bin/nix-update USAGE ----- First change to your directory containing the nix expression (Could be a nixpkgs or your own repository). Than run ``nix-update`` as follows :: $ nix-update attribute [version] This example will fetch the latest github release: :: $ nix-update nixpkgs-review It is also possible to specify the version manually :: $ nix-update --version=2.1.1 nixpkgs-review To only update sources hashes without updating the version: :: $ nix-update --version=skip nixpkgs-review TODO ---- - ☐ optionally commit update - ☐ add tests - ☐ update unstable packages from git to latest master
