This workflow / script is already doing more than must labeling: it's
already auto-closing package request issues.
Since we're going to migrate the nixpkgs-merge-bot into this workflow,
we'll rename things to a more generic name.
To be able to disable the pr.yml workflow on GitHub, we need to rename
it to a different name. Let's use the long name for consistency with
merge-group.yml. This only affects the GitHub-internal name, not the
visible name in the PR checklist, which is still "PR". This visible name
is also used by nixpkgs-review, so that won't break.
Instead of setting the maintainer-related labels based entirely on Eval
results, this uses the new maintainer map from the target branch. This
allows labeling PRs correctly, that had been created *before* a
contributor became a maintainer of the respective package.
Some PRs are empty on purpose, for example the yearly notification about
the election for voters. We should not close these because the merge
commit is empty - only if there was a change intended, but the merge
commit *becomes* empty, we should act.
If the change of a PR has already been merged to the target branch
elsewhere, the PR will not be auto-closed by GitHub - and will still
show the same original diff. Still, the temporary merge commit is
actually empty. This causes all kinds of strange CI behavior, from not
showing rebuilds to not pinging maintainers.
We check the merge commit during labeling anyway, to see whether a merge
conflict is present. It's easy to just look a the number of affected
files in this merge commit - and if there are none, we can just
automatically close the PR as no longer relevant.
This allows the labels workflow to support issue management in two ways:
- New package request can potentially created with a `4.workflow:
auto-close` label immediately and be closed automatically this way.
- Existing package requests can be bulk-closed by adding this label.
This has the advantage of posting the explanatory comment at the same
time, which is not possible with regular bulk operations.
It has only happened once, but the GitHub API suddenly returned a
workflow run from a few weeks back. This lead to quickly hitting the
rate limit for search requests.
Prevent this from happening by going back a day max for the "recently
updated" case. After roughly a day, every PR will have been touched by
the regular batch processing anyway.
Also save a few API requests, by taking bigger chunks of the search
result.
Since all github-scripts need to be written in commonjs, we now default
to it by not setting package.json. Support from editors for .js files is
slightly better than .cjs. To still allow using module imports in the
test runner script, we trick node into loading the script itself as a
module again via `--import ./run`.
