kinda wish the flake.nix parser want so limited, but /shrug I literally just use flakes for lockfiles. Almost all my flakes are just stubs around unlocked default.nix/package.nix/shell.nix | 20:52:49 |

 David Lee | so hey, I've got a nice flake setup for nixos. buut if I wanted to have a "not flake but not channels" setup, maybe like https://jade.fyi/blog/pinning-nixos-with-npins/ says .. is there anything else to show how to actually go about it? | 22:28:07 |

 ekler | what are you stuck on?
| 00:41:20 |
| David Lee | actually not stuck at all: https://github.com/davidlee/nix-config/blob/main/nix-config/PORTING-NOTES.md
rebuilds without drama. Pleasantly surprised to find I can just symlink to my flakes so I can port them one at a time if I decide to commit
just gotta try an actual switch now | 04:36:52 |
| David Lee | well, damn. worked without a hitch. fast, too. | 04:42:10 |

 FireFly | nice, that's pretty much what I arrived at as well (although I called my symlink /etc/current-nixpkgs) | 08:38:35 |
| FireFly | actually, one question about this: I ended up resorting to setting enviornment.sessionVariables.NIX_PATH since as far as I could tell the nix.nixPath is provided by the channels module and disabled if you set nix.channel.enable = false;.. unsure why it seems you didn't run into that? | 08:43:51 |
 aloisw | Interesting how many possibilities people have figured out to do that thing. There's also setting the nix-path config option. | 08:43:59 |
| piegames | My home config says I must have run into at least some issues here https://git.darmstadt.ccc.de/piegames/home-config/-/blob/master/modules/generic.nix?ref_type=heads#L54-57
But it somehow works in the current configuration | 08:46:32 |
| piegames | Be aware of nix.settings.nixPath vs nix.nixPath | 08:46:42 |
 Coca | At least when I was doing this change myself I didn't have any difficulties with nix.nixPath and nix.channel.enable = false; together | 08:48:04 |
| FireFly | 🤷 | 08:49:48 |
