I literally just use flakes for lockfiles. Almost all my flakes are just stubs around unlocked default.nix/package.nix/shell.nix

@pktls:matrix.orgDavid Leeso hey, I've got a nice flake setup for nixos. buut if I wanted to have a "not flake but not channels" setup, maybe like https://jade.fyi/blog/pinning-nixos-with-npins/ says .. is there anything else to show how to actually go about it?22:28:07

@ekler:feel-co.orgekler

what are you stuck on?

00:41:20
@pktls:matrix.orgDavid Leeactually not stuck at all: https://github.com/davidlee/nix-config/blob/main/nix-config/PORTING-NOTES.md rebuilds without drama. Pleasantly surprised to find I can just symlink to my flakes so I can port them one at a time if I decide to commit just gotta try an actual switch now04:36:52
@pktls:matrix.orgDavid Leewell, damn. worked without a hitch. fast, too. 04:42:10

@firefly:raccoon.collegeFireFly nice, that's pretty much what I arrived at as well (although I called my symlink /etc/current-nixpkgs) 08:38:35
