Maintainer scripts
This folder contains various executable scripts for nixpkgs maintainers, and supporting data or nixlang files as needed. These scripts generally aren't a stable interface and may changed or be removed.
What follows is a (very incomplete) overview of available scripts.
Metadata
get-maintainer.sh
get-maintainer.sh [selector] value returns a JSON object describing
a given nixpkgs maintainer, equivalent to lib.maintainers.${x} // { handle = x; }.
This allows looking up a maintainer's attrset (including GitHub and Matrix
handles, email address etc.) based on any of their handles, more correctly and
robustly than text search through maintainers-list.nix.

}
The maintainer is designated by a selector which must be one of:
handle(default): the maintainer's attribute name inlib.maintainers;email,name,github,githubId,matrix,name: attributes of the maintainer's object, matched exactly; seemaintainer-list.nixfor the fields' definition.
Conventions
sha-to-sri.py
sha-to-sri.py path ... (atomically) rewrites hash attributes (named hash or sha(1|256|512))
into the SRI format: hash = "{hash name}-{base64 encoded value}".
path must point to either a nix file, or a directory which will be automatically traversed.
sha-to-sri.py automatically skips files whose first non-empty line contains generated by or do not edit.
Moreover, when walking a directory tree, the script will skip files whose name is yarn.nix or contains generated.
