07:38 <joepie91> added a point to the pad about a short-term goal being inventorying current approaches

07:38 <joepie91> of plugins in nixpkgs

13:55 <pie_> joepie91, not sure if its in scope but i was just going over some older notes and i had an idea tha tiw ould be nice if upstreams had some kind of machine checkable interface for getting version information or somesuch, to automate updating nixpkgs better

13:57 <joepie91> pie_: not sure if it's in scope either, but ryantm has some amount of auto-PR tooling for software updates

13:57 <joepie91> so if we want to add that to scope, might want to bring him in

13:58 <joepie91> I feel like maybe it's more a nixpkgs concern than a Nix(OS) concern though

14:16 <pie_> ok in hindsight i dont know why i thought it made sense at all -

14:37 <joepie91> pie_: well, it's a form of integration of third-party software :) just integrate with nixpkgs, not Nix

14:37 <joepie91> integration*
