 David Lee | so 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 | what are you stuck on?
| 00:41:20 |
| David Lee | actually 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 now | 04:36:52 |
| David Lee | well, damn. worked without a hitch. fast, too. | 04:42:10 |

 FireFly | nice, that's pretty much what I arrived at as well (although I called my symlink /etc/current-nixpkgs) | 08:38:35 |
| FireFly | actually, one question about this: I ended up resorting to setting enviornment.sessionVariables.NIX_PATH since as far as I could tell the nix.nixPath is provided by the channels module and disabled if you set nix.channel.enable = false;.. unsure why it seems you didn't run into that? | 08:43:51 |
