 @penguincoder:matrix.wolfie.pw | is it possible to use flakes to build multiple other git repos but use the source checked out on my machine, not necessarily what has been committed to the repo?
example: I have a meta-repo called nix-techstack and it checks out a bunch of other repos under nix-techstack/src/ and in nix-techstack/flake.nix I am trying to define all of the packages/apps/devShells for all of the other repos in src/. will I have to put a flake.nix anywhere I want to build or can I keep it in my meta-repo?
| 17:12:48 |
| @penguincoder:matrix.wolfie.pw | would I need to add the other repos as submodules? | 17:18:02 |

 lxsameer | hey folks, I have the following default.nix file and flake.nix file in my root:
default.nix:
let
nativePkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
system = import ./system.nix { pkgs = nativePkgs; };
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> system;
llvm = pkgs.llvmPackages_16.override { stdenv = pkgs.llvmPackages_16.libcxxClang; };
libcxxClangOverlay = final: prev: {
stdenv = prev.stdenv.override { stdenv = llvm.libcxxClang; };
};
finalPkgs = import <nixpkgs> system // { overlays = [ libcxxClangOverlay ]; };
in {
pkgs = finalPkgs;
#pkgs.stdenv.override { stdenv = llvm.libcxxClang; };
}
flake.nix
{
inputs = {
toolchain = import ./.;
};
outputs = inputs@{ toolchain, ... }:
{
inherit (toolchain) pkgs;
};
}
now when I load the flake in the repl I get this err message: error: expected a set but got a thunk at ... what am I doing wrong here?
| 18:02:38 |
| lxsameer | that toolchain.pkgs seems to be a thunk, but can't tell really why. In a repl it works just fine (default.nix I mean) | 18:18:40 |

probably can't be a import | 01:41:08 |

 @rick:matrix.ciphernetics.nl | Probably use --impure on the command line | 18:36:43 |
| lxsameer | thanks I figured it out | 18:38:00 |

 @antifuchs:asf.computer | hrm, so I use flake.parts with direnv-nix, and using watch_file **/flake-part.nix, it seems like a "small" reload is happening when I update something in a flake-part.nix file; but in order to get updated definitions of things (e.g. numtide/devshell commands) affecting the dev shell, I still have to manually direnv reload. | 15:23:43 |
| @antifuchs:asf.computer | the automatically triggered reload seems to do something, but it definitely doesn't make the updated commands available on the devshell I'm in | 15:24:15 |
 @petrichor:envs.net | is the watch_file before or after the use flake line? | 15:55:38 |
| @antifuchs:asf.computer | I tried either - the reloads they trigger (and they do trigger something) both do not pick up changes to the script | 17:09:23 |
|  @ek_is_anika:tchncs.de left the room. | 19:04:36 |
| @antifuchs:asf.computer | Found it: nix_direnv_watch_file **/flake-part.nix does reload the whole dev shell if something changes, if it happens before use flake | 23:45:21 |

 mr-qubo | It seems like not only buildInputs but also it's dependencies are added to PATH, is this a known issue? | 16:24:45 |

it's true on cross-compilation and in some package sets

| Artturin | * they're added when strictDeps is false
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 |
