 Charles | * for one of my very broken systems i ended up booting a live usb and:
mount /dev/disk/by-partlabel/root /mnt
mount /dev/disk/by-partlabel/efi /mnt/boot
rm -rf /mnt/boot/* /mnt/nix
nix build ...

Wiping out /nix/store and /nix/var, then using nixos-install did work | 19:39:02 |
| thou-vow | Thank you | 19:39:11 |
 brendanzab | hey, just noticed that https://lix.systems/install/ has been updated to 2.93.2 - does that mean we should upgrade to that version now? I downgraded back to 2.93.0, but had been waiting on a blog post which would let me know when to upgrade again. | 22:55:11 |

| brendanzab | oh woops, https://lix.systems/add-to-config/#flake-based-configurations, seems like its 2.93.2-1 | 22:58:40 |
| brendanzab | * oh woops, https://lix.systems/add-to-config/#flake-based-configurations, seems like it's 2.93.2-1 | 22:58:47 |
| brendanzab | was saying “unrecognized repository reference: 2.93.2” heh | 22:59:15 |

oh woops, https://lix.systems/add-to-config/#flake-based-configurations, seems like it's 2.93.2-1 2.93.2 is the Lix release version, and the -1 is the packaging version of the lix module | 06:14:03 |
| brendanzab | yeah, managed to figure that oh hehe. seems to work ok now! | 06:14:41 |
| brendanzab | is it like a sub-revision? | 06:15:04 |
 kait | does lix-installer have a way to specify --extra-conf "extra-substituters = ..." and have this placed at the end of the nix.conf? currently the extra conf gets put at the top, then overridden by the default substitutes for nixpkgs | 07:13:46 |
| piegames | In reply to @brendanzab:matrix.org
is it like a sub-revision? In a way, yes. Because the packaging might be updated without any release in the packaged software | 07:25:54 |
| piegames | Look into Arch packaging guidelines, they use this scheme for all of their packages | 07:26:15 |
 WeetHet | Is release-2.93 branch okay to use? | 08:17:02 |
|  SoSeDiK joined the room. | 08:42:37 |
 maralorn | On search.nixos.org I can find one boehmgc for every lix version. Is that something useful to users? | 09:11:33 |
| piegames | In reply to @weethet:catgirl.cloud
Is release-2.93 branch okay to use? Should be | 10:12:04 |
 hexa | not the worst issue sno has 😄 | 10:24:58 |
