 Emma [it/its] | hm, is there a way to parallelise a flake update? | 02:04:30 |
| Emma [it/its] | given that -j doesn't seem to be applicable here | 02:04:58 |
 Coca | I thought flakes updated concurrently already but that's probably not true | 02:15:57 |
| Emma [it/its] | they dont (can check with -v) | 02:19:21 |
| Coca | Hm, that makes npins the only pinner that's concurrent then in the nix ecosystem then I think | 02:20:56 |
| Coca | Weird nobody has done it before | 02:21:17 |

 neobrain | Is there any inherent reason that Lix doesn't indicate percentual progress when fetching flakes but instead only shows an absolute in-progress download size? | 20:42:41 |
 delroth | yes-ish as there's a freeze on any development related to flakes in Lix which makes it unlikely for such improvements to get done, but other than that probably not? it might use a different download infrastructure from the rest of the downloads in Lix because flakes code tends to be a bit weird and sectioned off | 21:19:14 |
| neobrain | Aw, fair enough. Do the non-flake code paths show a percentual progress? It didn't actually occur to me that flakes might be different and just used the term as a shorthand for "fetching [e.g.] nixpkgs" | 21:29:58 |
| neobrain | * Aw, fair enough. But are you implying that the non-flake code paths already do show a percentual progress? It didn't actually occur to me that flakes might be different and just used the term as a shorthand for "fetching [e.g.] nixpkgs" | 21:30:23 |
| neobrain | Redacted or Malformed Event | 21:41:35 |
| neobrain | * eh, looks like it does show the expected total size in contrast to flakes, just that the expected total size is wrong 😅

| 21:42:08 |
| neobrain | Ah well, fetching via non-flake (took me a while to figure out how to do that) indeed prints the normal git clone output and by extension a percentual progress | 21:54:47 |
| delroth | I'd recommend filing a feature request anyway - it might be it's trivial to fix and someone just needs to know it needs to be fixed, Lix is in general trying to improve the UX so this kind of feedback can always be useful | 22:32:47 |

 n3tcat | λ nix --version
nix (Lix, like Nix) 2.93.3
am I cool now | 01:17:49 |
| n3tcat | hmm does Lix change how remote deployments work? I am deploying to a sever and it looks like packages are going direct from the Nix build cache to the server. When I was on Nix I'm pretty sure it would copy them to my local machine and then copy them from my local machine to the server | 02:17:54 |
