By providing a regex in allowedVersions, users of genericUpdater,
gitUpdater, directoryListingUpdater, or httpTwoLevelsUpdater can exclude
versions that don't match the regex. This can be simpler to express than
constructing the complement regex in ignoredVersions.
- This information is availabe from environment variables defined by
maintainers/scripts/update.nix
- Renamed the shell script to generic-update-script.sh
- Add a new optional argument (representing the package name) to the
shell script
- The version lister is called with a new optional
argument (representing the package attribute path)
That way gitUpdater could be used to extract most recent published
releases for .nix files that don't use git directly to define builds.
An example is iproute2 package which does not have a single place
to lookup most recent release.
- Add the 'gitUpdater' helper function to update git based packages, using the
'genericUpdater' function.
- Rework argument passing to the `list-git-tags' and 'list-archive-two-level-versions' scripts.
- Replace 'genericUpdater' plus 'list-git-tags' by 'gitUpdater'
