 vczf | Is there a reason why the following is not an officially recommended way of installing lix?
nixpkgs.overlays = [(final: prev: {
nix = pkgs.lixPackageSets.stable.lix;
})];
I did this to force disko to use lix and I haven’t run into any broken tooling so far. It sees like a dumb fix that actually works pretty well | 03:47:57 |
 whispers [& it/fae] | there is certain software that breaks with that because it links into e.g. libnixstore | 03:49:00 |
| whispers [& it/fae] | * | 03:49:33 |
| whispers [& it/fae] | but that is something you can do and to my understanding that is what the nixos-module does (https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/nixos-module/src/branch/main/overlay.nix) (though that module is only intended for lix-on-main users) | 03:50:49 |

| flippette | hi all, home-manager recently switch to using nix profile add instead of nix profile install, is Lix going to support this soon, or is there a way to work around it for now? | 13:51:07 |

 K900 | We can probably pick that change | 13:53:53 |

 WeetHet | Isn't all work on nix3 and flakes frozen until flakes are out of core? I thought that was the plan for 2.95? | 18:02:32 |
| K900 | I mean this feels like the kind of change that is very cheap to pick | 18:03:01 |
| K900 | And somewhat expensive to not | 18:03:04 |

 raitobezarius | Currently, I am out of time and we want to merge preparations to extract Flakes for 2.95, whether this happens is dependent on my load of work in Lix (and my free time)
It's a bit annoying to continue to have CLI breakage, especially on something like nix profile... | 18:24:49 |
