 Aldwin | Thanks! Yeah I figured that once that problem presents itself I'll just add a second nixpkgs input. | 16:39:26 |

| Aldwin | So I did go for a single flake for the whole repo, it seems very natural | 16:42:38 |

| @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.$HOST.config.system.build.toplevel (this is at least one way) | 02:55:46 |
| @2xsaiko:tchncs.de | * hopland: update: nix flake update
check for updates, run it after nix flake update but before building the system: nix store diff-closures --derivation /run/current-system .#nixosConfigurations.$HOST.config.system.build.toplevel (this is at least one way) | 02:55:58 |

 @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 |
