Can there be a stable/latest branch to follow?

[ahayzen]

Disko have a branch that contains the latest stable release github:nix-community/disko/latest.

It would be nice to have similar for nix-flatpak as then I could use github:gmodena/nix-flatpak/latest in the flake.nix, have CI update the lock file and perform tests to ensure that things still work.

Currently I need to monitor this repo and manually update the git url to match the ref of a release.

Hi @ahayzen,

Thanks for reaching out. I am not fond of the long-lived branches workflow, so I don't see a stable branch happening. However, I think what you're asking could be addressed by simply adding a latest tag that points to the most recent tagged commit. I am not familiar with disko, but I suppose that is what they are doing: https://github.com/nix-community/disko/tags.

If this does not break the flakeHub publication workflow, I see no problem with auto-tagging with latest on release.

Took me some fiddling, but the tagging workflow is now automated.

https://github.com/gmodena/nix-flatpak/releases/tag/latest points to 8bdc254, the most recent commit tagged as v0.5.2 .

You can track the latest release with:

nix-flatpak.url = "github:gmodena/nix-flatpak/?ref=latest";

Or alternatively:

nix-flatpak.url = "github:gmodena/nix-flatpak/latest";

Awesome! Thank you for quickly adding this :-)
