The nixpkgs documentation mentions how to update out of tree plugins but
one problem is that it requires a nixpkgs clone.
This makes it more convenient.
I've had the need to generate vim plugins and lua overlays for other
projects unrelated to nix and this will make updates easier (aka just
run `nix run nixpkgs#vimPluginsUpdater -- --proc=1` or with the legacy commands:
`nix-shell -p vimPluginsUpdater --run vim-plugins-updater`.
I added an optional "nixpkgs" argument to command line parser, which is the path
towards a nixpkgs checkout. By default the current folder.
update-luarocks-packages: format with black
This change adds a flag --slow to hydra-report.sh get-report which
causes it to fetch the cheap evaluation overview endpoint (which only
contains build ids and meta data). The gathered information is then used
to request each build's status individually instead of in bulk which is
very slow, but useful as a last resort if the bulk endpoint times out.
Since every failure in the jobset means one request to get the log when
generating the list of newly broken packages, we need to add an option
to disable log requesting in case a lot of new breakage needs to be
entered.
If we want to push only one branch, we'll have to specify branch and
remote explicitly. Pushing to origin doesn't work for everyone, since
some of us have a origin remote that can't be pushed to. Using plain
`git push` has the problem that it'll try pushing all checked out
branchs which fails e.g. if some branches (staging, staging-next, …) are
behind their remote counterparts.
The solution is to require everyone to configure a per branch pushRemote
for haskell-updates which will then be used by merge-and-open-pr.sh.
* update.py: introduce subparsers for plugin updaters
This is preliminary work to help create more powerful plugin updaters.
Namely I would like to be able to "just add" plugins without refreshing
the older ones (helpful when github temporarily removes a user from
github due to automated bot detection).
Also concerning the lua updater, we pin some of the dependencies, and I
would like to be able to unpin the package without editing the csv
(coming in later PRs).
* doc/updaters: update command to update editor plugins
including vim, kakoune and lua packages

cabal-install 3.10 has some quirky new logic for config, cache, …
directory discovery. We reimplement this in this simple bash script,
additionally respecting the CABAL_DIR environment variable.
This update adds support for $CABAL_DIR as well as the new
$XDG_CACHE_HOME location of the hackage db.
Since we maintain hackage-db, having the latest version always is nice
even though it has more reverse dependencies than the other libraries we
maintain.
