 David Arnold (blaggacao) | btw, I did the same for bud: https://github.com/divnix/bud/blob/ed67004ac9929bb418f5eedacc50901f6787dba0/module.nix#L90-L94 | 04:56:26 |
 colemickens 🏳️🌈 | I don't know how a projects disk location could possibly be a good thing to specifically provide to what is supposed to be a reproducible hermetic environment. | 07:51:47 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | What you're asking to do is specifically what Nix sets out to avoid. | 07:52:03 |
 Las | In reply to @elonsroadster:matrix.org
Right. The reason for this is that is rather not worry about the scripts in my dotfiles being out of sync with what I have put in my nix store. I realize that this is sort of a dumb concern, and that any new dependencies that these scripts have would still need associated system updates, but it just feels a bit heavy weight to need to do a system update every time I tweak or add a new user script. The switch-to-configuration script is hardly a "system update" | 07:55:32 |
| Las | Even if you have an extremely complex system configuration on an underpowered machine, evaluation + switching should not take more than a minute. What I do to test e.g. mpv with a new configuration is that I have a wrapper for it that adds the necessary config files, then I rebuild just that if I want to test just that. | 07:56:42 |
| Las | Specifically, I do nix build conf#play | 07:57:01 |

| Jez (he/him) | I have a flake.nix with devShell as it's only output, and the derivation keeps getting rebuilt for no reason, presumably because it gets garbage collected | 20:12:32 |
| Jez (he/him) | Is there a way to create a gcroot for this devShell? | 20:12:53 |
| Jez (he/him) | Should nix build .#devShell.x86_64-linux work? | 20:13:39 |
| Jez (he/him) | * I have a `flake.nix` with `devShell` as its only output, and the derivation keeps getting rebuilt for no reason, presumably because it gets garbage collected | 20:24:26 |

 tomberek | Jez (he/him): can you publish your flake repo somewhere? | 23:26:43 |

| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | Jez (he/him): stick an ".inputDerivation" there on the end of that ;) | 04:51:38 |
 j-k | Is there a nice way to build aws AMIs using flakes?
I've been reading this https://github.com/nh2/nixos-ami-building but I'm not sure how to cleanly do it with flakes | 11:05:14 |
| j-k | ami = import "${nixpkgs}/nixos/release.nix" {
configuration = ./my/file/configuration.nix;
};
λ nix build .#ami.amazonImage.x86_64-linux
λ ls ./result
nix-support nixos-amazon-image-21.11pre130979.gfedcba-x86_64-linux.vhd
is promising
| 11:16:44 |
| j-k | ahh I can do nix build .#nixosConfigurations.HOSTNAME.config.system.build.toplevel -> nix build .#nixosConfigurations.HOSTNAME.config.system.build.amazonImage if I add the nixos/maintainers/scripts/ec2/amazon-image.nix module, not just the nixos/modules/virtualisation/amazon-image.nix | 11:32:16 |

| elonsroadster | Is there a way to ignore the flake.lock file of a flake that you are using as an input completely? | 05:20:36 |
 balsoft | People who manage their nixos desktops with flakes: how do you handle the programs.sqlite thing? It used to be distributed together with channels, but now it isn't... | 11:59:44 |
