Hey #nix and #nixos people!
I wrote a matrix bot for nixpkgs pull request notifications.
It‘s like the cool https//nixpk.gs/tracker.html by @qyliss, which shows you which release channels a pull request has reached.
With the bot you can subscribe and get notifications, whenever it reaches a channel instead of hammering F5 in your browser tab.
Just open a query to https://matrix.to/#/@nixpkgs-bot:maralorn.de and send "help".
Looking forward to you all stress testing it!

@solene Yeah, the main issues with that are, that a) maybe your not interested in the discussion and b) you will not know when it reaches nixos-unstable.

i had the idea to have a github bot that comments when a PR hit's nixos unstable and nixos stable
That is so cool!
I am testing it right now! Also thanks for sharing the code!

@musicmatze Well, the code ist mostly in the proof-of-concept phase. Would be nice to separate code into different files, e.g. Currently it‘s a bit clobbered.
@davidak After some consideration: I think that would increase notification traffic for regular contributors far too much
can you make the bot join the NixOS space? I use spaces a lot as an organizational tool, and that would help finding it easily
@pbsds It would be annoying to do it on opening a pull request, but yes it is totally possible to do it in the moment of merging it.
@pinpox Sorry about that, sometimes my matrix server throws an error while trying to join a room. In this case (could not finde any remote servers which know this room.)
I made the bot manually join your query, you can use it now.

If you have been issues with the bot not joining your direct message, you might want to try again. A workaround for race conditions in the matrix server has been implemented.
neat! They looks really good. What could be really useful would be a feature to automatically subscribe to all prs by a user (your own fire example) and by label, so security-discuss could subscribe to all prs labeled with security.
