 Enzime | yeah definitely looks like gitlab: and github: are built with the fundamental assumption that gitlab:A/B B can't contain slashes | 00:31:13 |
 bew | yeah that's because the flake ref syntax is git{hub,lab}:org/repo/branch?options | 00:57:42 |
 tomberek | gitlab allows for sub-organizations, i'm not dealing with any right now, but this assumption may not work in those cases...... can we just tweak the parsing or spec of the flake ref syntax? | 00:59:30 |

I think git+https is the best you can do :/ as he said, that's the only way to use a repository at an arbitrary url | 01:00:52 |

 colemickens 🏳️🌈 | Can you url-encode the slash in the repo name? | 01:06:31 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | I guess urlencoding it might just pass it through the url that way which might not work either, idk. | 01:06:52 |

Can you url-encode the slash in the repo name? $ nix flake check "gitlab:veloren/dev%2Fveloren?ref=yusdacra/chore/nix"

| Enzime | seems to be working | 01:09:35 |
| Enzime | 😆 | 01:09:41 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | pretty sure I just remember that from some random matrix/discourse post, glad it worked! | 01:14:42 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | yay for capriciously designed urls that were designed primarily with a single platform in mind! | 01:15:14 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | * yay for capriciously designed vanity "uris" that were designed primarily with a single platform in mind! | 01:15:23 |
| tomberek | what! wow! that should probably be noted somewhere: https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-flake.html#examples maybe | 01:34:21 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | are the fetchers implemented in just nix? it would be cool to see them pulled out and maybe used instead of flake refs and it being built into nix | 01:40:48 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | (if there aren't weird layering problems that would arise) | 01:40:58 |
| tomberek | right here: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/tree/master/src/libfetchers | 01:42:16 |
| tomberek | One benefit of that instead of the nixpkgs fetchers (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs/build-support/fetchgit) is that one can more easily utilize credentials and have fewer FODs. | 01:45:42 |
| tomberek | There was some work on experimenting with other fetchers: https://github.com/target/nix-fetchers | 01:46:32 |

Heh, neat trick. Thanks everyone for figuring it out! | 10:08:35 |
