 qu4pk4 | Is there a good reason, why it doesn't/cannot work? | 20:02:02 |
| qu4pk4 | My Flake is part of a research into libs/pkgs, so I am ok with it not fitting 100% into the infra. | 20:02:50 |
| qu4pk4 | Nix doesn't seem to be used much for supporting any version of lib, but the strictness and constraints feel like a good match for that use case. | 20:04:32 |
| qu4pk4 | Especially, for research reproduceability. | 20:04:52 |
| qu4pk4 | Another thing: installCheck phase is ran when doInstallCheck is set to true according to https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#var-stdenv-doInstallCheck, but not when cross-compiling. I can't get my installCheck phase to run in a flake that uses flake-utils. Is the cross-compiling kicking in? | 20:13:20 |
| qu4pk4 | I am building with nix build '#pkg.ver' therefore I am not really thinking I am cross-compiling. | 20:13:48 |

Is there a good reason, why it doesn't/cannot work? the schema forbids it. legacyPackages lets you put arbitrary data in, which is why Nixpkgs uses it | 20:15:37 |
