# nix-update
|
|
|
|
Currently interesting files `ups.sh, up.sh, check-result.sh`.
|
|
|
|
1. get a list of oudated packages
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
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!
