 mvnetbiz | I think your idea of it potentially being useful to just having a checked in file with information that doesn't need to be highly processed (by nix) to read is valid though. | 23:48:50 |

 David Arnold (blaggacao) | Yeah, 100%! I like the blanking since it also tells the (attentive) reader a story. It is somewhat obvious that we don't car about its nixpkgs dependency although, we ourselves might depend on it. | 00:49:05 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | In the Unofficial Flake Roadmap that I formulated some time ago, I had the idea of input groups that are mapped to outputs, so that the usage of any specific output can have a better view on the direct inputs required. | 00:50:02 |

| mvnetbiz | You can have multiple flakes in 1 git repo and reference lower ones from a top level flake.nix, I think I saw an example of this already somewhere | 01:15:55 |
| mvnetbiz | That might already suit that use case and not require more complicated flake implementation | 01:16:35 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Yeah, this is a good idea! I tried to do that myself, as well. It feels a bit heavy handed, if it's just for a devShell or a checks implementation of the top level flake that depends on some extra depeendencies. But maybe the vision for flakes is to be super slim. | 13:38:14 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | ... if that's the case though, we could as well argue the outputs should be limited to a single output. | 13:38:49 |

| David Arnold (blaggacao) | https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/4641 is making quite some good progress! If CitadelCore where in this room, my expression of thankfulness could reach them directly. | 22:17:29 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | niksnut: maybe you can have a look at it? It's quite an annoying bug that precludes from effectively aligning the starts when trying to use the follows notation. I think a lot of people just move on and are secluded from harnessing the true powers of follows, so I find it extremely refreshing that CitadelCore has taken on the task. | 22:19:20 |

 Las | Does anyone know if there's a way to verify commits in inputs? | 08:56:00 |
 matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Can somebody tell me if there's a way to do this better, or if we need to add it to the flake schema? | 22:04:03 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I need to use git describe on some sources. | 22:04:13 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | The flake lock outputs lots of things, but I can't actually use git describe on a given source, because in order to do that I'd need to download the git index, which is highly impure! | 22:04:46 |
