There was a problem hiding this comment.
Looks like parenthesis mismatch.
closes NixOS#248 By checking the package list without aliases, we can make it more likely that people do not introduce new aliases into `nixpkgs` without removing them from the repository. Aliases are supposed to be for backward compatibility. Also, we can make sure this configuration option continues to work for people. Noteably, this configuration option is used by r-ryantm/nixpkgs-update to avoid submitting duplicate pull requests for the package and its alias, and to use the correct (non-alaised) name in the pull request.

@grahamc Do you think this would be ok in terms of resource usage, given that it adds an extra evaluation to each merge event? |

I think yes, let's see how it goes. We can change the architecture of this process if we need to. This is something we should check, since it prevents problems from reaching Hydra. |
