it's true on cross-compilation and in some package sets even when not cross
you can enable it when not cross if you want

I see.
The problem I have is that I use coreutils-full in systemPackages. But most of my flakes override this with coreutils because it's a common dependency and it's added to PATH before /run/current-system/sw/bin. | 17:02:42 |
| mr-qubo | Long PATH also makes zsh completion slow. | 17:04:45 |

I can't find how to enable it in flake. | 17:13:12 |

I can't find how to enable it in flake. it's a buildInputs and such is a mkDerivation thing | 17:15:36 |
| Artturin | not a flake thing | 17:15:39 |

| Artturin | the dependecy attributes ate mkDerivation things | 17:16:38 |
| Artturin | * the dependency attributes are mkDerivation things | 17:16:42 |
| mr-qubo | There's a nixpkgs.config option strictDepsByDefault, but no idea how to use it in flake. | 17:16:44 |
| Artturin | that'll rebuild almost all of your packages | 17:17:13 |
| Artturin | it's a nixpkgs config thing not a nixos system thing | 17:17:23 |
| mr-qubo | But isn't it possible to set this option only in one flake, and not entire system? | 17:18:46 |
| Artturin | it's not a flake thing | 17:19:14 |
| Artturin | you can set it in one package | 17:19:19 |
| Artturin | * you can set it in one package with overrideAttrs | 17:19:22 |
| mr-qubo | But I want to have it for all packages. I already set strictDepsByDefault in my nixos configuration.nix, and the rebuild was fast, as everything was downloaded from cache.
But I think it's not being applied to flakes. | 17:21:21 |
| Artturin | Using flakes for packages is outside of your systems nixpkgs instance so the config options aren't applied | 17:22:02 |
| Artturin | you'll have to use overlays | 17:22:09 |
| Artturin | * you'll have to use overlays to import the packages from other flakes if you want the config to apply | 17:22:22 |
| Artturin | What is your exact problem | 17:23:10 |
| Artturin | You're maybe looking in the wrong place | 17:23:44 |

| 17:24:03 |
| mr-qubo | So in simpler words, I don't want dependencies in my PATH. | 17:27:12 |

| zoopli | Hi, I have a newbie question. I've been going along with some tutorials on how to switch to flakes for my nixos system. And in the flake the configuration.nix is imported as module.
Is it possible to define your system config entirely in the flake.nix without needing a configuration.nix at all? | 17:38:07 |

So in simpler words, I don't want dependencies in my PATH. Seems like I'm not using flakes intended way in the first place and I should use something like https://github.com/numtide/devshell. | 17:38:40 |

| mr-qubo | But why would you want to do this? | 17:43:10 |
| zoopli | Just wanted to know if it's possible. I'll try it out. I'd rather tweak one file for my sys config than two files. Maybe I'll split it out again if it gets bigger. | 17:47:15 |
