The default profile used by nix profile is $HOME/.nix-profile ,which, if it does not exist, is created as a symlink to /nix/var/nix/profiles/default if Nix is invoked by theroot user, or ${XDG_STATE_HOME-$HOME/.local/state}/nix/profiles/profile otherwise. | 14:34:21 | |

Hello there, I stumbled recently on https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/pull/304 which seems to indicate that the DetSys's Nix installer does not support channels anymore, if I am not wrong, this installer is supposed to become the default for the official Nix installer. Is there a plan to remove channels support by default at installation time in the future? | 19:30:30 | |

In reply to @graham:grahamc.comI just read this and it mentions the channel thing | 19:34:33 | |
The Nix Team said they’d be interested in the project using the determinate nix installer as a base to start with upstream. If that happens, probably would require implementing some code to change the determinate nix installer to match what they want | 19:35:58 | |
I’d be surprised if the determinate nix installer was adopted exactly as is, and I don’t this this wg has the authority to choose that stuff | 19:36:50 | |
Got it, thank you for the clarification! | 19:44:37 | |
Yep! | 19:45:48 | |

In reply to @graham:grahamc.comSorry I missed last week - reviewed the notes and it mentions abathur might create the fork? I'm happy to pitch in some with maintenance as well | 22:16:16 | |
It was more of an open question about the scope of work we're talking about to "pull" the detsys installer towards nix | 22:53:11 | |
I was the only non-detsys person in attendance, so I framed the work in terms of whether it was something I could do in 15 minutes or whether we'd need substantive fresh work | 22:54:15 | |
Iirc the answer is roughly that, if we were willing to take all of the "opinions" as-is it might not be much work, but that we'll need fresh work to do things like support channels, which the detsys installer doesn't set up | 22:56:24 | |
I have a mostly full plate atm, but am hoping that it'll be easier to drum up interest in filling these gaps if we have a framework and firm decisions from the nix team on what features stay/go | 22:59:26 |
