Automatic update of submodules
Some of the submodules here are slightly out of date. I was wondering if we perhaps want a GitHub Actions workflow that keeps the submodules pointing to the latest?
Something like https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-web/blob/gh-pages/.github/workflows/submodule.yaml, or use an action from the marketplace, or something.
I'm not sure if that's necessarily desirable. It could be under development and therefore unstable, or worse. The situation as it is right now means I can confidently say that none of these do anything suspicious because I trust that whoever merged it personally gave it a quick look.
I suppose an action that opened a PR once a month or so would be alright as far as the suspicious behavior goes.
That's a good point. I'll try to think of something. (Sooner or later 🙂) (we have PR-opening automation in xmonad as well so I know where to start)
Right, it could still be in an unstable state though, currently presumed as pinned to a stable state here. I presume that people may not diligently use tags for little plugins. But perhaps I'm overthinking it.
Automatic MR's can be created with Renovate. Renovate can also be configure to look for git tags and update to a newer tag accordingly.
