fresh install: "✨ devenv 1.0.3 is out of date"

[mx00s]

I tried running the Getting Started directions and ran into a confusing message:

> sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --no-daemon  # for WSL2 (Windows)
> nix-env -iA devenv -f https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tarball/nixpkgs-unstable
> git init demo && cd demo
> devenv init
> devenv test
...
✨ devenv 1.0.3 is out of date. Please update to 1.0.4: https://devenv.sh/getting-started/#installation
...

The update directions linked by the message are the exact ones I just followed to install devenv, so it's odd that it claims it's outdated.

According to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/a0c9e3aee1000ac2bfb0e5b98c94c946a5d180a9/pkgs/by-name/de/devenv/package.nix#L32, the current version on nixpkgs-unstable is 1.0.3, the one I have.

This repository's releases show the more recent 1.0.4 is the latest as of ~16 hours ago. Apparently the nixpkgs-unstable just hasn't been updated yet.

To mitigate future user confusion, would it be worth ...?

1. changing the install directions to depend directly on this repo's releases instead,
2. using the latest version from the chosen installation source as the source of truth, and/or
3. minimizing the duration between releases in this repo and bumping the version in nixpkgs-unstable

Hey @mx00s, nice to see you around here 👋

The easiest to do right now is to bump .latest-version once nixpkgs-unstable hits, we could even automate this.

Thanks for bringing this up!

@domenkozar same now: 1.0.8 in nixpkgs-unstable vs 1.1 in github repo

✨ devenv 1.0.8 is out of date. Please update to 1.1: https://devenv.sh/getting-started/#installation

I am new in Nix, so I'm afraid to make any manual changes/updates - I will receive new version from nixpkgs-unstable when it's there/ready.
For me it would be great if I could disable this check/warning, but it seems impossible, right?

@aimestereo we've released 1.1 when it hit nixpkgs-unstable

@domenkozar wow, maybe I'm checking it wrong, I use

[domenkozar]

@aimestereo that's nixos-unstable, not nixpkgs-unstable.

@domenkozar 🤦 thanks! solved my issue!
