# nix-update
Currently interesting files `ups.sh, up.sh, check-result.sh`.
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/ryantm/nix-update.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/ryantm/nix-update)
1. get a list of oudated packages
Scripts to try to update nixpkgs packages. Uses `hub` to automatically make PRs.
# Instructions
1. Clone this repo:
```
git clone https://github.com/ryantm/nix-update
```
2. Get a list of oudated packages and place them in a `packages-to-update.txt` file in the root directory of this repository.
```
git clone https://github.com/ryantm/repology-api.git
cabal2nix --shell --hpack . > shell.nix && nix-build shell.nix && result/bin/repology-api > packages-to-update.txt
```
2. Prepare a nixpkgs git repository where you want to do the updates. It expects `origin` to be where you want to push your updates. It clobbers any changes in that directory with `git reset --hard`. USE THIS ON A NEWLY CLONED REPO ONLY FOR THIS PURPOSE.
3. copy list of ones you want to update into `ups.sh` ARGUMENTS variable
4. delete update arguments that seem wrong. (Weird version strings, versions that don't seem like an update, the update version doesn't look like it would work with nixpkgs)
5. Be in the directory of your update git repository. run `ups.sh` if it succeeds, it will make commits and push updates to the `origin` remote!
3. `./ups.sh`
