| @ThorHop:matrix.org | So how do you check for updates on a flake based system? Also, how do you update? | 02:25:00 |
 @2xsaiko:tchncs.de | hopland: update: nix flake update
check for updates, run it after nix flake update but before building the system: nix store diff-closures --derivation /run/current-system .#nixosConfiguration.$HOST.config.system.build.toplevel (this is at least one way) | 02:55:46 |

 @ronnypfannschmidt:matrix.org | is there any easy way to have a flake refer to its incoming location and/or its store copy in a safe manner - im on a host system with fedora that shares a multi-user nix store with my nixos root and i want to automate a nixos-enter jump that invokes nixos-rebuild boot with the flake (so i can install system updates on my nix from my fedora)

 @petrichor:envs.net | so i've noticed that for a flake version-controlled with git, only files that are tracked by git are copied to the store, but if i use mercurial all files are copied regardless of whether mercurial knows about them or not | 13:08:49 |
| @petrichor:envs.net | is git the only "fully supported" dvcs in this way, or are there alternatives? mercurial is the only other one listed in the flakes manual as valid for a flake url | 13:11:28 |
| @petrichor:envs.net | i guess what i really want to know is: how can i tell nix that there are certain files in a flake on my local disk that should never be copied to the store, regardless of what vcs i'm using (or none)? | 14:13:21 |
| @ronnypfannschmidt:matrix.org | i wonder if .hgignore is respected, for git all added files are copied over , but mercurial doesnt have a index | 14:26:07 |
| @petrichor:envs.net | nope, sadly .hgignore is ... ignored ☹️ | 14:38:00 |
| @petrichor:envs.net | mercurial has no index, but it does have a concept of tracked/not tracked (aside from explicitly ignored files) | 14:38:25 |
| @ronnypfannschmidt:matrix.org | i presume its just not implemented for the nix integration then, unfortunately im no longer using mercurial | 14:50:28 |
| @petrichor:envs.net | nix doesn't truly respect the git index either, because it will include edits to a file that haven't be either staged or committed, as long as the path itself is staged or committed | 15:01:00 |

| @ronnypfannschmidt:matrix.org | In reply to @petrichor:envs.net
nix doesn't truly respect the git index either, because it will include edits to a file that haven't be either staged or committed, as long as the path itself is staged or committed my understanding is that this is intentional for development, the index is used to inform of the set of files, and mercurial is simply not matching that design or integrated | 09:31:56 |
| @ronnypfannschmidt:matrix.org | anyone aware if a way to declare a nixos system thats getting crosscompiled instead of build on binfmt? my x86_64 laptop is a tad slow on building stuff for my rpi andi wonder if i can build it faster that way | 09:57:46 |
