is there something in the flake spec that allows the flake author to specify a cache? https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/4189 ? | 05:13:09 |
| bew | There's also https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/3824 | 05:38:56 |
| bew | Which adds the loading of a local nix.conf file | 05:39:22 |

https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/4189 ? that was merged to master in Nov, awesome! | 19:16:11 |
| edrex | is there a doc describing the Nix branching strategy somewhere? (wondering how commits to master make it to a release) | 19:16:47 |
| edrex | i imagine lots of cherry picking | 19:17:06 |
 Roos | IIRC, you open an MR against master and if you want it backported you open an MR against the release branch. | 19:44:09 |
| Roos | I imagine that release branches never get merged back to master and master is forked prior to ZHF upon the next release. | 19:44:57 |
| edrex | are release branches tagged directly off current master? | 19:50:26 |
| edrex | err, branched rather | 19:50:34 |
| edrex | it looks like releases are tagged off the latest-release branch, which seems to keep a persistent history parallel to master | 19:56:46 |
| edrex | ah, i think it starts from master with each new minor release, ie
git show $(git merge-base master origin/latest-release) -> Sep 4 2019 | 20:01:10 |

 David Arnold (blaggacao) | Releases are actually "release tracks" which can suffer continous bugfixing and the likes, hence they are modled as branches. | 22:57:42 |

| TyberiusPrime | hey guys. I want to refer to a .nix file inside nixpkgs from my flake with callPackages | 14:36:57 |
| TyberiusPrime | what's the magic syntax for that ? | 14:37:18 |
| Roos | In a NixOS configuration you can do something like this: https://gitlab.com/roosemberth/dotfiles/-/blob/master/nix/machines/tests/base.nix#L3 | 14:41:03 |
| TyberiusPrime | which leads to the question how I get the modulePath in this case... all I have is a flake input, whatever that is :) | 14:42:00 |
| TyberiusPrime | (outPath is promising) | 14:42:36 |
| TyberiusPrime | indeed "${nixpkgs.outPath}/pkgs/development/r-modules/generic-builder.nix" get's me a new exciting error message | 14:44:42 |
| Roos | I would try to toString the nixpkgs argument and access the subpath. | 14:45:16 |
| Roos | It's progress \o/ | 14:46:14 |
 ilkecan | toString drv and drv.outPath is the same | 14:51:15 |
