Thank you.

 woobilicious | how would I do the equivent of nix build 'nixpkg/<commit>#pkg but on a local clone? ./<commit>#pkg obviously doens't work. | 09:03:11 |
| woobilicious | even better if I could do HEAD~1 | 09:05:48 |

 samasaur | i think it's nix build '.?rev=<commit>#pkg' | 17:49:29 |

| jalaziz | I'm switching from shell.nix to Flakes. With shell.nix, I could use nix-build to effectively build the derivation and store it.
With Flakes, it seems like I can do nix build ".#devShells.aarch64-darwin.default", but I need the system which is not very convenient. Is there an equally simple way to pre-build the derivation without having to specify the system and without dropping into a shell?
| 05:07:47 |
 nim65s | jalaziz: https://github.com/nix-community/nix-direnv is a solution for that I think | 10:44:45 |

 Bryan | nix-direnv does not itself present a way to fix this problem, but you can rely on it to not gc the derivation (which is at least a partial answer?) | 18:30:57 |
| jalaziz | Unfortunately that's mostly only useful for a local machine. I was trying to pre-build the derivation for CI purposes. So direnv won't work.
I found an interesting technique looking at https://github.com/numtide/devshell/blob/12e914740a25ea1891ec619bb53cf5e6ca922e40/docs/src/flake-app.md?plain=1#L7 that makes it so it's a bit easier to call nix build on the devShells derivation.

| Bryan | Abílio Costa: I missed your reply here. I am sorry for that! Both nix-direnv and flakeenv take a flake specifier for the flake you want to use: use flake /home/acosta/dev/thirdparty/nix-environments#home-assistant or use flake_env home/acosta/dev/thirdparty/nix-environments#home-assistant should work, I would think!
I wrote and maintain flakeenv and am a maintainer of nix-direnv, so if you have trouble - please ping me here or (preferably) on the repo for the tool in question :)

| jalaziz | I can and should. I'm planning on doing that, but that's part of what I am trying to solve for too.
I wanted to be able to build the devshell without entering the terminal so that I could then do things like cache it.
| 18:52:57 |
| remi-gelinas | So - at the risk of not understanding the context, why does nix build .#devshells.<system>.<name> not work? | 18:54:33 |
