nix-update does not check all tags for versions on github

[raspher]

Hi, an example package i've tried to update: quickwit which have a lot of tags. However none of tags were found on first page (?) and it gives up.

modified a little update script to use regex

src = fetchFromGitHub {
    owner = "quickwit-oss";
    repo = pname;
    rev = "v${version}";
    hash = "sha256-stlm3oDMQVoMza3s4JApynXbzhrarfXw3uAxGMZQJqs=";
  };
[...]
  passthru.updateScript = nix-update-script {
    extraArgs = [ "--version-regex" "v([0-9.]+)" ];
   };

And i've got this after nix-update -u quickwit inside root of nixpkgs repository.

--- SHOWING ERROR LOG FOR quickwit-0.6.4 ----------------------

not all versions/tags were listed here, probably didn't check more tags

nix-update uses this feed to check for tags: curl https://github.com/quickwit-oss/quickwit/releases.atom

It's unclear to me why it doesn't contain those version tags in it.

[Mic92]

Ah. I think what happened here is that they spammed a lot of tags to there repository so that actual releases are no longer included.

This is probably fixed by #246 because that only lists releases, not tags
