 Rene | I don't even have a cargo-1.79 entry in /nix/store, I have no idea why the error says that | 14:20:24 |
| Rene | Here's what I have found so far. If I revert the changes to the crate versions, the flake will start the devShell, with cargo-1.86. From what I read, I need at least 1.87 to fix the broken crate. | 16:34:46 |
| Rene | but I'm on the latest nightly, why would Cargo be from back in Feb? | 16:35:09 |
| Rene | In case it helps anyone, it turns out that the cargo-c crate has a (somehow) embedded Cargo. The fix was to move to nixpkgs-unstable, where cargo-c has a version of Cargo compatible with the base64ct crate. | 20:01:28 |

| cortsf | Hello. Can I have some help? I'm trying to publish a flake (using haskell.nix) into nixpkgs. Not sure if using builtins.getFlake is ok, since there is no derivation using it apparently. | 01:09:25 |
| cortsf | https://github.com/cortsf/hympd | 01:09:47 |
| cortsf | This seems to work locally.
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
let
hympdFlake = builtins.getFlake "github:cortsf/hympd?rev=ea295556192e4c436917313da11211d8b1d47299";
hympdPackage = hympdFlake.packages.${pkgs.system}.default;
in
pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
pname = "hympd";
version = "1.0";
src = ./.;
buildInputs = [ hympdPackage ];
# buildPhase = ''
# echo "Using my-package from the other flake: ${myPackage}/bin/some-command"
# '';
installPhase = ''
mkdir -p $out/bin
cp ${hympdPackage}/bin/hympd $out/bin
'';
}

 ipsavitsky234 | cortsfnot sure what you mean by "publish a nix flake to nixpkgs", can you elaborate pls? | 09:56:16 |
| cortsf | ipsavitsky234: I just made a simple program and I'd like it to be available on nixpkgs, if possible. | 11:06:28 |
 dramforever | no, builtins.getFlake is not okay, nor is any other way to download external code during evaluation in nixpkgs | 11:07:27 |
 @gabyx:matrix.org | In reply to @cortsf:matrix.org
ipsavitsky234: I just made a simple program and I'd like it to be available on nixpkgs, if possible. people can use your program also when its an output in a flake.nix | 11:08:02 |
| dramforever | generally you want to check how some similar thing is packaged in nixpkgs, and just copy what they do | 11:08:17 |
