Hi, noobie here. I got my app on the nixpkgs and I’m wondering how can I bump r-ryantm to do its PR?
I know it will get there eventually, but according to nixpkgs-update queue I’m 11000th in the queue… Which at this point it would be faster to do the update PR manually.
So is there a way to manually bump up the priority or do I need to do a manual update pr?
I think it’s not possible to change the bot’s queue.
yes, nix-shell maintainers/scripts/update.nix --argstr package <yourpkgname> can be used to update your package.
Keep in mind that PRs from the bot can be merged by the maintainer even if they’re not a committer, but manual PRs cannot (those require a committer).
Except for one targeting derivation not in pkgs/by-name sadly. However i try to keep an eye for failling ryan-tm notices to merge them manually 
Welp. Already made one with nix-update.
Next time I’ll use that.
Still think it would be nice for app developers as when releasing a package, we want to have it available as soon as possible, and the pr will be dismissed pretty fast instead of stalling until a maintainer comes to merge it
You can PR yourself as maintainer and in the future merge the bot PR yourself.
That was already done. I just wanted the PR in the first place so that I could actually merge it
