 woobilicious | Is there any policy around packaging non-system specific derivations? what should I use for the "system" parameter? | 07:25:14 |
| woobilicious | Like if I'm shipping media or config files. | 07:29:12 |
 tomberek | I would usually mark it with the system that produced those files. | 07:32:53 |
| woobilicious | I guess the other thing is to use the target sandbox as a "system" for portable code. | 08:08:25 |

 dramforever | can you just ship the same thing with all the systems | 15:39:42 |
 @mewp:nurupo.pl | https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/language/derivations.html says that derivations have a system attribute. changing it will change the hash, and not changing it would prevent one from building locally | 16:06:33 |
| @mewp:nurupo.pl | * https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/language/derivations.html says that derivations have a system attribute. changing it will change the hash, and not changing it would prevent one from building locally | 16:07:05 |
| @mewp:nurupo.pl | so I don't think you can ship the same derivation on all systems | 16:07:28 |
| tomberek | You can ship a derivation of any system to other places. You may lose some niceties like tab completion on the CLI, but nothing prevents it from being done. | 16:09:34 |
| @mewp:nurupo.pl | as I understand it, if you do, you won't be able to build it on such a system locally. am I wrong? | 16:10:33 |
| @mewp:nurupo.pl | (because nix will see that the builder is supposed to execute on a different system than the current one) | 16:11:17 |
| tomberek | Correct, for building. So for these kinds of things I tend to just make one for each system. | 16:13:45 |
| tomberek | But in that case, if it needs to be built (not just substituted or fetched) then there is a natural system to pick, the one used to build it. | 16:14:35 |
