 Mic92 | https://github.com/NixOS/experimental-nix-installer/releases/tag/3.11.3 Did a session with Jeff and now we have a new rebased version | 23:33:16 |
| Mic92 | tpw_rules: ^ do you want to test. | 23:33:37 |
| 22 Nov 2025 |
| Mic92 | Okay. Just tested in on macOS. What can I say, works as intended. | 00:18:09 |

 Matthew Kenigsberg | Nice! Do you think we should mark that as latest and start pointing people at https://artifacts.nixos.org/experimental-installer? | 14:40:41 |
| 25 Nov 2025 |
| Mic92 | Feel free. Here what i think we should do next: test it on all platforms we want to support, than create an unforked version of the repo as nix-installer with a new Readme at nix-installer because otherwise pull requests go to the wrong place. Document the installer from experimental as beta in this readme to invite more people to test. | 07:55:21 |

| Jens Petersen | May I ask (a few) distro install related questions here? :) | 11:43:19 |

 hexa | you probably want #nix-dev:nixos.org | 11:52:49 |
| hexa | * you probably want #nix-dev:nixos.org instead | 11:53:12 |
| Jens Petersen | (sure, tho' my current questions really about the /nix dir tree) | 12:09:59 |
| Mic92 | Jens Petersen: I can answer the question here, but in general the other matrix channel has more nix core dev reading. | 12:36:02 |
| Mic92 | * Jens Petersen: I can answer the question here, but in general the other matrix channel has more nix core dev members reading. | 12:36:15 |
| Jens Petersen | Okay no worries makes sense - let me try that first then, thanks! | 12:37:01 |
| Mic92 | Just ping me there as well. | 12:37:18 |
| Jens Petersen | Mic92: my question was just if/why /nix/var/nix/builds shouldn't be setup - it seems the current upstream nix/nixos installer doesn't but determinant and maybe your new experimental one does perhaps? | 12:39:28 |

| hexa | builds were previously happening below /tmp | 12:42:01 |
| hexa | but nix should be defaulting to /nix/var/nix/builds from 2.30.0 | 12:42:15 |
| hexa | (via https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nix-2-30-0-released/66449) | 12:42:36 |
| Jens Petersen | Ahh I see thank you so it is relatively new | 12:42:39 |
| Mic92 | We strongly recommend this for security because we had several issues related to other processes that might be able to create or take over build temporary directories in /tmp | 12:43:18 |
