Two items in resholve's mkDerivation are causing trouble for some ecosystem tools:
I didn't pass through the original package's meta, which breaks the ability of at least nixos package search and r-ryantm to find the right source file (in the latter case breaking auto updates).
I was prepending "resholved-" to the pname, which at least nixos package search picks up as the package's name. Repology also tries to do this, but their current nix updater will prefer to get this data from the name. For now, this means changing to name will not stop repology from picking up the
resholved-<package>
names.Repology's code makes it clear that they want to use the pname/version, so I was inclined to settle with what I've got for now, but thiagokokada clarified that we aren't just waiting for nixpkgs fixes, but because Nix itself isn't exporting the pname/version in its JSON. See also:
For now, at least, I'll switch to appending "-unresholved" to the inner derivation's pname.
