As a Nix and Renovate user, I am frustrated when Nix Docker image update merge requests show up with no useful information about what changed. There's no indication whether the update is important (such as a security fix), or how to find more information. A quick search of the repo main page shows no relevant hits for words like "release" and "change".
I was able to find some release information like this:
- Search for "nix versions" - the only relevant hit on the first screen seems to be a third party one from 2020.
- Search for "nix releases" - shows a link to the 2.22 release as the first hit. It looks like the "latest" link is not being prioritised by search engines.
- Manually replace "2.22" in the URL with "latest" on a whim, which redirects to the latest index where I can find the link to the latest release.
- Notice that there doesn't seem to be any release notes for patch releases, such as 2.25.2.
Describe the solution you'd like
- A web feed (Atom seems to be the go-to solution these days) would be useful to be able to keep track of releases in almost real time.
- Change log entries compatible with Renovate would enable much more useful merge request descriptions.
