 olivia | oh and a corresponding lix isssue and CL :) | 23:08:36 |
| olivia | hmm... the CL is merged though | 23:09:00 |
 KFears (annoying) | There's this:
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/8977
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/8976
And this:
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9173
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/9143 | 23:10:33 |
| olivia | oh nvm I missed that the CL is just a workaround for lix's CI or similar | 23:10:42 |
| KFears (annoying) | I'm trying to understand what's the difference between those, hmmm | 23:10:44 |
| KFears (annoying) | Ah, okay, the first seems to be the issue you're hitting, and the second is some weird special case with inputs.foo.inputs.bar.url | 23:15:27 |
| olivia | that's my understanding as well | 23:16:13 |
| KFears (annoying) | I'll see if I'm able to fix this | 23:16:16 |
| KFears (annoying) | I'm a little hesitant if that should be fixed, because that's part of the flake quasi-stable interface, but it should be fine? The part that experiences issues is CLI, and it's thankfully a lot less design-tied than other things | 23:17:39 |
| KFears (annoying) | And not updating transitive inputs is probably a lot more broken than doing it :/ | 23:18:08 |
| olivia | I cannot imagine a situation where the current behavior would be desirable | 23:18:21 |
 aidalgol | It's certainly very confusing. | 23:18:28 |
| aidalgol | Semi-related to this: I found that you can nix flake update input-a from repo B when input A points to a local checkout with uncommitted changes, and repo B will now be pointing to the uncommitted changes in your local repo A. | 23:19:58 |

I cannot imagine a situation where the current behavior would be desirable Me neither, but with flakes, better safe than sorry :P
Still, it's like a CLI issue and I would expect people to run into actually insane breakages due to old transitive inputs, it just doesn't help anyone, and it's thankfully isolated to CLI I think | 23:20:05 |
| aidalgol | It was somewhat useful, but it's also a bit of a footgun. | 23:20:21 |

Semi-related to this: I found that you can nix flake update input-a from repo B when input A points to a local checkout with uncommitted changes, and repo B will now be pointing to the uncommitted changes in your local repo A. Wait wut, can you give an inputs example for it? Does it work only for path, or for git+file too? | 23:22:06 |
| aidalgol | IIRC, I was using git+file. | 23:22:29 |
| olivia | cursed | 23:22:38 |
| KFears (annoying) | No way, that sounds broken | 23:22:41 |
| KFears (annoying) | Eww | 23:22:48 |
| olivia | I would expect that to work with path: but not git+file | 23:22:52 |
| KFears (annoying) | Wait, so what does ref and rev give you in the lockfile in that case? | 23:23:18 |
| aidalgol | I ran into it while working on https://github.com/aidalgol/valheim-server-flake and https://github.com/nix-community/steam-fetcher, when I needed to change something in steam-fetcher but test it via valheim-server-flake. | 23:23:49 |
| aidalgol | This was before I switched to Lix, though. Let me see if I can make it happen again. | 23:24:02 |
