Missing git tags for flakes inputs

[dafitt]

New issue to not disturb #177:

@dafitt:

flake.nix inputs (versions i am using):

hyprland = { url = "github:hyprwm/Hyprland/tags/v0.40.0"; inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs"; };
hyprland-plugins = { url = "github:hyprwm/hyprland-plugins"; inputs.hyprland.follows = "hyprland"; };

@fufexan:

@dafitt perhaps hyprland-plugins has a newer version that no longer works with hyprland 0.40, since hyprland-plugins main follows Hyprland's main branch.

I would like to keep using the stable version of Hyprland (because its my daily driver). Is there instead a way to pin hyprland-plugins to v0.40.0? This would be possible with a tag, but hyprland-plugins does not have any tags. Maybe add those?

dcbdc9a08d1df753d6799bab823486f1fff5b8e6 should work, as it's the next commit after the 0.40.0 release. We'll try to cut tags starting with the next release, right @vaxerski?

[vaxerski]

cut tags?

[fufexan]

Yeah, like a release but without artifacts. Or you can also make releases if you want.

[vaxerski]

I dont understand

https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Tagging

GitHub releases automatically create a tag with the same name as the release. You can see them in your https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/tags, for example. It's just a “tag” on a particular commit.

If you don't want to make a release on Github, you could do it via:

git tag v0.40.0 dcbdc9a

git push origin v0.40.0
# or
git push origin --tags

oh now I get it, why "cut", "cut" means "remove" tf fufexan.

Anyways why not reset to the pinned commit in hyprpm.toml?

[dafitt]

Yes thats certainly possible via url github:hyprwm/hyprland-plugins/dcbdc9a. But with semantic versioning we on NixOS could then use more automated tools like https://github.com/snowfallorg/thaw.

idk I, saw the terminology somewhere.

[fufexan]

@dafitt I've added the plugins to Nixpkgs' hyprlandPlugins package set. They will be updated along with Hyprland (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/321575).

I've also created a 0.41.1 tag if you still need that.

[dafitt]

Thank you @fufexan! This is very helpful. I will use your hyprlandPlugins from now on.
