 vczf | You need flakes enabled in order to nix run nixpkgs#cowsay hello
Unless I am mistaken, that nixpkgs is a reference to the system flake registry entry for nixpkgs | 10:01:38 |
 neobrain | right | 10:29:26 |

 Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | is there something like flakes but using npins? | 13:42:21 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | near how it works but standard | 13:42:28 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | and which doesnt break every second like flakes does | 13:42:38 |
 K900 | Well it depends on which part of flakes | 13:43:45 |
| K900 | https://git.afnix.fr/sprinkles/sprinkles handles the "standardized output schema" bit but it's far less widely adopted | 13:44:05 |
 delroth | it's definitely a standard if you count something not stable and used by < 10 projects as a standard | 13:52:40 |
| delroth | I think there are ad-hoc default.nix templates that are more standard than sprinkles | 13:52:51 |
