 vczf | Upon further investigation, this is a lix-only bug
The cppnix pipe-operators implementation doesn’t break docs for lib.trivial.pipe, but the lix implementation does
I’m guessing there’s a name collision between lib.pipe and the pipe operators because Value::isPrimOp() is true
But this is my first time diving into the nix code and I don’t really understand | 01:48:09 |
 raitobezarius | Can you open an issue in the tracker with these details? Thanks! | 07:12:34 |
 Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | is there an example of a flake dependency in a sprinkles project | 09:25:11 |
 K900 | That's not really a thing | 09:26:11 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | cause, for example, for home manager or impererance or even disko | 09:26:58 |
 thubrecht | You can just use the non-flake entrypoints of those repos | 09:28:55 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | what if they don't expose such | 09:29:26 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | can it take npins then? | 09:33:32 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | I saw it mentioned | 09:33:39 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | flake compat? | 09:36:51 |
 Coca | hopefully nothing you have to use would be flake only | 09:37:36 |
| Coca | I think I've only seen it once ever and it was for niri I think? | 09:38:05 |
| Coca | Though I'm sure someone has thrown out some other example | 09:38:30 |
| Coca | You can also take a look at https://nilla.dev/ as well for this | 09:39:21 |

what if they don't expose such At least home-manager and impermanence have entry points that work without flakes. No entirely sure if they're official, but I haven't seen them break either. | 09:43:11 |
 toonn | I do use flake-compat for some Flake-only project. | 09:59:46 |
 delroth | (this discussion is imo precisely why flakes has won and why any flakes alternative without explicit compatibility support for flakes is doomed to fail) | 10:03:44 |

You can also take a look at https://nilla.dev/ as well for this Looks neat! Although I kinda agree, so much as I personally dislike Flakes, would backwards compatibility be crucial for its success, I think.
Thanks for showing us this! | 11:49:50 |

(this discussion is imo precisely why flakes has won and why (again, imo) any flakes alternative without explicit compatibility support for flakes is doomed to fail) I mean flake-compat exists, not sure why keep asking about compat tools that already exists | 11:52:33 |
| piegames | * I mean flake-compat exists, not sure why keep asking about compat tools that already exist | 11:52:41 |
| piegames | I first-class integration what people want? One could add a flake input type to npins probably if that's what people want | 11:53:31 |
| piegames | * Is first-class integration what people want? One could add a flake input type to npins probably if that's what people want | 11:53:46 |
| delroth | I mean, I know I would want it if I were to use npins, but I don't use npins other than when I contribute to a project that uses it | 11:54:11 |
| delroth | so I'm probably not the right person to ask, or at least not via point-questions like this since most likely this isn't the only feature that stops me from using npins personally | 11:54:53 |
| piegames | I mean npins is fairly feature complete by now and in need of a successor, so I'm interested in hearing your show-stoppers for using it | 11:56:13 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | vs npins? | 11:56:33 |
| piegames | Fixes won't land in npins, but will help inform any efforts at building a successor | 11:56:58 |
