# nixp-meta
|
|
|
|
General purpose meta tool for all things nix.
|
|
|
|
## Currently implemented modules
|
|
|
|
|
|
### PR tracking
|
|
|
|
Using `nixp-meta track <pr>` on can see which nixpkgs branches a pull requests has reached, to gauge if updating is worth it yet.
|
|
|
|
### Live PR diffs
|
|
|
|
If you cannot wait for a PR to be merged, or just want to test it while it's still being worked on, this module is for you.
|
|
|
|
`nixp-meta add-pr <pr>` Downloads the diff for the specified PR to a folder (default `./patches/PR`) and updates a tracking file(default `pr.txt`).
|
|
`nixp-meta update-prs` then uses that tracking file to update all prs contained.
|
|
|
|
Then using below module one can alter nixpkgs to use these patches
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
{
|
|
inputs,
|
|
...
|
|
}:
|
|
{
|
|
flake = {
|
|
nixpkgs-patched =
|
|
let
|
|
system = "x86_64-linux";
|
|
pkgs = import inputs.nixpkgs { inherit system; };
|
|
in
|
|
pkgs.stdenvNoCC.mkDerivation {
|
|
name = "Nixpkgs with patches from open PRs";
|
|
src = inputs.nixpkgs;
|
|
dontConfigure = true;
|
|
dontBuild = true;
|
|
doCheck = false;
|
|
dontFixup = true;
|
|
installPhase = ''
|
|
cp -r ./ $out
|
|
'';
|
|
patches =
|
|
if builtins.pathExists ../patches then pkgs.lib.filesystem.listFilesRecursive ../patches else [ ];
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
}
|
|
```
