| 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 |
| Jez (he/him) | It fails with the following: | 20:30:07 |

 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 |

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 it's not an option with flakes... Yeah, that's not supported with flakes. | 17:57:09 |
| Jez (he/him) | What's the programs.sqlite thing? | 19:13:10 |
 andi- | It is for the programs-not-found handler that tells you which package(s) a binary might be in that isn't in your PATH. | 19:21:09 |
| tomberek | ls /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/programs.sqlite -alh | 19:22:25 |
| Jez (he/him) | Ah! I assumed it was an attribute set from configuration.nix 🙃 | 19:28:06 |
| Jez (he/him) | programs.sqlite.enable = true; 😉 | 19:28:28 |
