 νεολαμπής [he/him] | Just maybe a faster experience and better errors is at most what you'll notice with your needs | 13:58:44 |
 K900 | I do agree that we should probably have a quick list of features, at least | 13:59:18 |
| K900 | Now that we have things to put on there that users will actually notice | 13:59:42 |
 522 it/its ⛯ΘΔ | "actually telling people why they depend on a failing derivation" is a big feature imo | 14:03:37 |
| 522 it/its ⛯ΘΔ | where the previous solution was "uhhh --show-trace and read the vomit?" | 14:03:50 |
| 522 it/its ⛯ΘΔ | that's probably the biggest immediately visible feature i'm aware of | 14:04:15 |
 tebriel | Oh! I'm happy to move to another thing, what provides lixPackageSets? | 14:08:26 |
| K900 | It's in nixpkgs | 14:08:42 |
| K900 | Just set nix.package = pkgs.lixPackageSets.latest.lix | 14:08:50 |
 just1602 | It'll also give you cached build, so no more build time for lix. | 14:10:05 |
| tebriel | thanks very much! so also no more lix flake input too | 14:32:03 |
|  XYenon joined the room. | 14:41:19 |
 Psentee | <puts end user hat on> pkgs.lixPackageSets.latest seems to be still on 2.93, lix-project/nixos-module haven't been tagged for 2.94, is there a recommended way to run current release? | 15:44:46 |
| K900 | Wait for nixpkgs to update | 15:45:28 |
| just1602 | You can track this PR: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/455756
There's a commit to upgrade the git build and there's a commit to update latest to 2.94. | 15:58:54 |
| Psentee | Oh, I was looking for a PR to hit "refresh" every 7 seconds, but didn't look through older PRs O_o | 16:15:20 |
| just1602 | CI is already running, it should land in a couple of days, tho | 16:16:07 |
 Blastboom Strice | Ok umm thanks for the answers, I got before, Im gonna do the jump to lix | 20:13:55 |
| Blastboom Strice | Will just add the code snippet and hope for the best | 20:14:11 |
| Blastboom Strice | Btw my machine is on nixos-unstable, which channel should I pick for lix to match the nixos-unstable channel? | 20:21:03 |
 whispers (it/fae) | wdym? lix is available in both nixos-unstable and nixos-25.05, you can use whatever | 20:22:59 |
| νεολαμπής [he/him] | He means whether to use lix stable or latest | 20:23:29 |
| whispers (it/fae) | they should be the same on unstable iirc, but probably latest | 20:23:46 |
| whispers (it/fae) | aiui stable exists so that the lix version for 25.05 can stay 2.91 while latest updates | 20:24:20 |
| whispers (it/fae) | * aiui stable exists so that the lix version for 25.05 (and future stable releases) can stay 2.91 while latest updates | 20:24:29 |
| whispers (it/fae) | * aiui stable exists so that the lix version for 25.05 (and future stable releases) can stay 2.91 (or whatever is out when the release is made) while latest updates | 20:24:46 |
| Blastboom Strice | Cool cool:)
(I also noticed that nixos-unstable uses the unstable version of nix) | 20:24:47 |
| Blastboom Strice | Cool cool | 20:24:52 |
| whispers (it/fae) | * aiui stable exists so that the lix version for stable nixos (currently 25.05) can stay the same through a full nixos release cycle (currently, lix 2.91) while latest updates | 20:25:15 |
| Blastboom Strice | Pressing upgrade/rebuild😳 | 20:25:51 |
