@amjoseph-nixpkgs I really don't appreciate your tone on these issues.. Anyways this is indeed a duplicate of #257748.

I mean do you want to read what's shown in the screenshot above?

I sorta don't appreciate the way the pkgs/by-name checks have morphed into a gatekeeping mechanism, and I'm particularly peeved about the fact that we spent ~2 hours on IRC discussing how to make all of this deterministic and not github-dependent -- a discussion where we clearly seemed to agree on the way forward. Then you just sort of ignored all of that, implemented the checks in github-ese, and didn't let me know or even request a review.

So yeah, there are a lot of things I don't appreciate about what's going on with the pkgs/by-name checks.

That's no reason to be double-tracking issues though. But also this is now fixed since #267048
