[!Warning] The bot does not handle encryption, so it currently might not work with Element X. Follow this issue for progress.

nixpkgs-update-notifier

A Matrix bot that allows you to subscribe to build failures for nixpkgs-update (aka r-ryantm).

Message the bot at @nixpkgs-update-notify-bot:matrix.org (link) and type help to see a list of commands.

Limitations

The bot has no access to the actual exit code of the nixpkgs-update runners, so it uses a simple heuristic to detect failures - it looks for "errory" words inside the build log. This is obviously fallible, and can lead to false positives and false negatives -- feel free to report them!

TODO

• Subscribe to packages under multiple package subsets (e.g. python311Packages and python312Packages)
• Subscribe to multiple packages at once
• Subscribe to packages by maintainer
• Subscribe to packages by team
