 @jade_:matrix.org | (but they are probably the same boehmgc as the upstream one) | 02:58:06 |
| @jade_:matrix.org | (guessing they are mostly exposed for debug purposes but if we just use pkgs.boehmgc we don't need it) | 02:58:24 |
| @jade_:matrix.org left the room. | 03:00:06 |
 K900 | Try restarting it | 09:23:58 |
 Arian | Nix-tree doesn't with work Lix :/ | 13:33:05 |
| Arian | (seems to crash on nix path-info output) | 13:33:28 |
 emily | fixed in staging-next | 13:34:40 |
| emily | I ran into this literally yesterday :P | 13:34:45 |
| emily | Nix broke compatibility of the output format and nix-tree handles both but I guess there was a regression at some point | 13:35:13 |
| emily | didn't investigate further | 13:35:18 |
 Charles | Why does nix-env --set ... try to do network access | 19:51:59 |
| Charles | I'm trying to nixos-install a system closure I have built already to a mounted system, with one complication: the system in question is my router so I have no internet | 19:53:17 |
| Charles | Okay I was able to recover by connecting my desktop directly to the modem but this still seems really weird to me | 20:23:21 |

Nix broke compatibility of the output format and nix-tree handles both but I guess there was a regression at some point How often are they gonna break this format. Holy moly | 21:12:42 |
| emily | I believe it only broke once? | 21:13:03 |
| emily | by regression I mean in nix-tree | 21:13:05 |

Why does nix-env --set ... try to do network access I dug down this rabbit Hole before. Iirc it will set up channels if they haven't been found as a side effect | 21:13:13 |
| Charles | fun | 21:13:52 |
| Arian | Do multiple things and so them poorly | 21:13:56 |
| Arian | * Do multiple things and do them poorly | 21:14:04 |
| emily | maybe nix profile avoids that? | 21:14:18 |
| Charles | one would think that passing --no-channel-copy to nixos-install would prevent that from happening but i guess not | 21:14:19 |
| Arian | nix profile is the wrong command | 21:14:49 |
| emily | you can set a system profile with it | 21:15:00 |
| Arian | But `nix build --profile` will do the same | 21:15:05 |
| emily | I think. | 21:15:12 |
| Arian | No you can't. It will create this weird manifest.json file | 21:15:15 |
| emily | actually yeah no I'm wrong | 21:15:18 |
| Arian | Nix profile can only be used in imperative mode. | 21:15:25 |
| emily | wow that is a weird interface. | 21:15:41 |
