"atom" package changed as "atom-beta" automatically

[TerkiKerel]

Hi,

I am using latest verison of nix on Ubuntu 16 64 bit.

I had installed atom package. I update my all aps by this commands:
nix-channel --update nixpkgs
nix-env -u '*'

But my atom package has changed as atom-beta without any warning or something.

Is this normal?

Thank you

Nope. That's because the name part of the name is incorrect in the Nix expression. It should reflect that it is a beta. With the current name, nix-env can't distinguish between atom and atomBeta.

Oh, until now I was not even aware there was an atom beta derivation...

Edit: I am fixing it

@domenkozar added this in 4ffa9ac.

I am executing these commands:

nix-channel --update nixpkgs
nix-env -u '*'
nix-env -i atom

but it still installs atom-beta.

How can I track when the package will update on production?

Thank you

[TerkiKerel]

It fixed. Thank you. :)
