IMHO, I don't think we need an entry for all of the binaries, just the 'main' binary of the package (where it makes sense). For instance, if I want to "run" package redshift-wlr, I would like it to run the redshift binary inside, if I wanted to access to any of the other binaries, I'd enter a shell. That's still a lot of app entries | 07:53:32 |
 Roos | Yes, but I don't think that's a flakes problem, I think that's a nixpkgs problem. | 07:53:59 |
 colemickens 🏳️🌈 | Doesn't nix shell pull the pkgs deps in too though? | 08:44:26 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | isn't that like the whole issue | 08:44:40 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | * isn't that like the whole issue - why people try to use run and then wind up resorting to nix shell -c... | 08:45:08 |
 Dee | There's already meta.mainProgram that you can use in Nixpkgs, and Nix actually checks that | 09:10:21 |
 tomberek | The new ‘nix shell’ does not pull in build deps. | 15:43:19 |
 figsoda | From my understanding, nix-shell becomes nix develop, nix-shell -p becomes nix shell, and nix run a special case for nix shell -c | 17:30:50 |

| tomberek | figsoda: roughly yes, but there are lots of edge cases and slight differences. Getting that design right and making decisions have been difficult. | 20:23:48 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | David Arnold (blaggacao): did you figure out a way to expose/use multiple devShells from a flake? | 23:48:34 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | I guess this works: nix develop .#devShell2.x86_64-linux | 23:49:38 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | kind of annoying that it doesn't get autocoerced from .#devShell2 in that scenario thoug | 23:49:50 |
 David Arnold (blaggacao) | I think there now is self.devShells so I guess, nix develop python should do self.devShells....python | 23:50:05 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Not tested, just a bookmark in my head. | 23:50:55 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | okay, I'll add a note to try that | 23:51:19 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Tell me if it works 🙂 | 23:51:19 |

| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | David Arnold (blaggacao): aight, it's outputs.devShell + outputs.devShells.foo | 00:15:17 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | I think it ought to be outputs.devShells.{default,foo,bar...} but whatever | 00:15:43 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | this is more than fine | 00:15:47 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | David Arnold (blaggacao): nix develop github:colemickens/nixcfg#devenv => https://github.com/cole-mickens/nixcfg/blob/ac2b89e9715c1daa730fda9308e0ed1abe941392/flake.nix#L118 | 00:16:41 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Nice! | 00:37:26 |
 TyberiusPrime | perhaps a stupid question, but how would I interactivly install a flake? like "nix-env -i .." | 08:32:15 |

perhaps a stupid question, but how would I interactivly install a flake? like "nix-env -i .." Maybe https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-profile-install.html#synopsis but I assume most people use a flake.nix with nix develop or home-manager depending on the use case | 09:58:20 |
| moritz.hedtke | If you don't want to install but just use nix shell afaik | 09:58:49 |
