 K900 | The short version is "don't" | 14:16:02 |
| K900 | The long version will have to wait | 14:16:05 |
 dramforever | as someone who thinks even the gui installer shipped in the nixos iso is a bad idea, i agree with "don't" | 15:55:00 |
 cheako | I used the nix version of codium, with the above scripts? | 17:56:14 |
| cheako | I'm unsure if I'm doing anything correctly, so if you've steps from setting up nix on a steamdeck(steamos)... I'd test them out. | 17:57:32 |
 neobrain | ah, I hadn't seen there was prior context to the topic | 18:12:04 |
| neobrain | if you enter this nix-shell manually, what does which rust-analyzer say? | 18:13:09 |

| kelp | Hello,
I could use some insight on a rust package that I have tried multiple times to package as a flake and failed --
https://github.com/BrettMayson/HEMTT
On a non-nix system, the build process is as simple as cargo build, but in a nix build env, there is a dependency, arma3-wiki, that pulls from a git repo in it's build.rs, which makes the build process fail.
Has anyone ran into a similar problem before? If so, is there a derivation I could reference?
| 11:27:55 |
| kelp | A download link for the dependency in question: http://crates.io/api/v1/crates/arma3-wiki/0.5.5/download | 11:29:14 |
 rosssmyth | Well if it unconditionally pulls it via the network, you need to patch it so it doesn't. | 18:23:44 |

 Ralith | downloading stuff from the internet in build.rs is spectacularly bad practice regardless of Nix | 02:03:40 |
| cheako | Host the files locally and specify a web proxy. | 02:07:31 |

Trying to wrap my brain around this. What is the path forward to actually using this hook if buildRustPackage shouldn't be modified? I figured that is mostly the point so that all Rust packages can be checked without manual migration of each package.

 Luke | Anyone have an example of using crane with flake-parts instead of flake-utils? I'm looking to migrate away from flake-utils | 00:27:25 |
| Luke | Never mind, did it myself | 01:13:27 |
