Update Nixpkgs to something less ancient

Open Atemu opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Currently, robotnix still uses 21.11:

We should update that to at least 22.11 which is the last release with python2 which is still used in quite a few places here.

which is the last release with python2

python2 still exists on nixpkgs master and has been updated quite recently https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/256132.

It's just been marked as insecure, because it's EOL upstream for some years now, but it's still getting (3rd party) updates, so IMHO this shouldn't hold us back from using a nixpkgs newer than 22.11.
