Hi Michael Raskin,

Can you change your script so that
- its using set -e
- it prints a usage hint if you run it without parameters
  Its enough to show this:
  "usage: update-upstream-data.sh pkgs/..../package/default.nix"

I feel like Eelco Dolstra that I dislike adding many additional files.
But it works and is useful :)

Still I'm not sure whether this script should be contained in nixpkgs.
The release cycle of it should be independent of nixpkgs even if its
only for adding set -e

I'd like to draw your attention to the gitorious project which should
collect various useful scripts for nix* related projects:
http://gitorious.org/nixpkgs-dev-utilities

I created it for this reason only.

Do you want to join ?

Marc Weber
