Metadata messed up in nix-prefetch-git etc

[davidak]

I noticed that for some packages the metadata is messed up.

https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=20.09&show=nix-prefetch-git&from=30&size=30&sort=relevance&query=nix

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-20.09/pkgs/tools/package-management/nix-prefetch-scripts/default.nix

• The License is missing, so the maintainer is displayed.
• Instead of the maintainer, the description is displayed
• The description is displayed as "Not specified" (which is wrong)
• For long version, there is nothing. here "Not specified" would be correct

#261 re-does this interface. Meaning that, while this is valid, it won't be fixed as-is.

And yes, what is happening is that empty fields "disappear", following values go up once. This is why implementing a <table> like layout without using an actual <table> can sometimes be hard :). Here I believe the homepage field is the one that's missing.

ah, yes. sure

i tested it there

Homepage is not displayed there which is OK

Version and License is just empty which looks broken

I think problems like this or #269 are not on the UI side but in the python script we're using to populate the ES. Good catch. Definitely something that should be higher on our priority list to fix.

Edit: actually this like was just a bad display logic, apologies.
