timokau[m]: I was wondering about strategies for doing it, AFAICT it's not being done at all on stable versions...
<samueldr>
main issue with regards to strategies: can we somehow stop breaking changes? unlikely :/

samueldr: But we generally don't update other packages on stable versions either, so why should we update vim plugins?
<timokau[m]>
At least the way we currently do it updating vim plugins would be especially risky, since the testing being done is pretty thin to non-existant
<samueldr>
we do try to backport updates to software
<timokau[m]>
Only if they're security relevant right?
<samueldr>
not only
<samueldr>
ideally, it would be anything not breaking, but it's actually hard to follow all updates
<samueldr>
in a semver ideal worldr, it would be anything at the patch level
<timokau[m]>
samueldr: Yeah, I think there is no real way to practically do that for vim plugins
<timokau[m]>
Especially since they usually don't even have tagged releases and are updated in bunch
<samueldr>
yeah
<samueldr>
pretty much what I thought when exploring the vim plugins infra in nixpkgs
<timokau[m]>
I think its best to just keep them at the version they were when the release was cut, except for security updates (which I assume are not very frequent for vim plugins)
<timokau[m]>
Personally I think backporting non-security changes is not very high priority anyways, but it can't hurt

Hey there. How to properly make an overlay for adding new Python 3 packages? It doesn't seem to work for me for some reason.
