why would that be non-standard? a lot of the packages i'm using do that There is no standard to expose functions in Flakes yet | 17:04:45 |
| k0kada (he/him) | Even output.lib is non-standard | 17:04:55 |
| k0kada (he/him) | * Even outputs.lib is non-standard | 17:05:02 |

There is no standard to expose functions in Flakes yet ah, yeah nothing i use exposes functions | 17:05:24 |
| k0kada (he/him) | BTW, package/packages should expose derivations, not functions either (so our usage is non-standard too) | 17:05:32 |
| ribosomerocker | except yknow, nix-doom-emacs which uses a function for package | 17:05:34 |
| ribosomerocker | yeah i know lol | 17:05:42 |
| ribosomerocker | hmmm... how about an overridable package? isn't that close to what your default.nix does or no? | 17:06:34 |
| k0kada (he/him) | So what I am thinking to do is:
outputs.packages will expose a proper full derivation of NDE (probably useless because it will use a default config or something, but I think it serves as a playground for people to test)outputs.mkNixDoomEmacsDrv (name TBD) will expose the default.nix as a proper functionoutputs.hmModule will stay since there is no standard for this

hmmm... how about an overridable package? isn't that close to what your default.nix does or no? Actually this is a good point | 17:07:48 |
| k0kada (he/him) | As long this doesn't cause another weird IFD I can try | 17:08:30 |
| ribosomerocker | i don't see a reason why it does :P | 17:08:43 |
| ribosomerocker | * i don't see a reason why it would :P | 17:08:51 |
| k0kada (he/him) | (Probably not because nixpkgs.lib.mkOverridable should exist) | 17:08:51 |
| k0kada (he/him) | Ah oh, forget what I said | 17:09:56 |
| k0kada (he/him) | It is a pkgs.callPackage | 17:10:02 |
| k0kada (he/him) | Huh.... | 17:10:04 |
| k0kada (he/him) | Well, let's hope for the best :P | 17:10:15 |
| ribosomerocker | what would you say are the suggested ways to install NDE? #1 flakes + hm, #2 non-flake + hm, #3 flake/non-flake nixos without HM? | 17:12:15 |
| k0kada (he/him) | #1 and #2 looks correct | 17:14:45 |
| k0kada (he/him) | #3 would be standalone usage in general | 17:14:55 |
| k0kada (he/him) | Could be NixOS/Nix-darwin/nix-shell/etc. | 17:15:15 |
| k0kada (he/him) | (You don't need to write every one of them, just give an example of derivation that works everywhere) | 17:15:40 |
| k0kada (he/him) | * (You don't need to write every one of them, just give an example of .nix that works everywhere) | 17:15:53 |
| ribosomerocker | 👍️, though i'm not sure how it'll turn out, so i'll wait until you get the implementation done to see how to do it | 17:18:25 |
| ribosomerocker | also, i wonder... can't you make the emacsPackagesOverlay into a list instead of overlay? I think it might be more understandable and usable to everyone | 17:21:52 |
| ribosomerocker | emacsPackagesOverlay = self: super: {
idris2-mode = self.trivialBuild {
pname = "idris2-mode";
ename = "idris2-mode";
version = "0.0.0";
buildInputs = [ self.prop-menu ];
src = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "idris-community";
repo = "idris2-mode";
rev = "4a3f9cdb1a155da59824e39f0ac78ccf72f2ca97";
sha256 = "sha256-TxsGaG2fBRWWP9aas59kiNnUVD4ZdNlwwaFbM4+n81c=";
};
};
};
would turn into
emacsPackages = [
{
idris2-mode = self.trivialBuild {
pname = "idris2-mode";
ename = "idris2-mode";
version = "0.0.0";
buildInputs = [ self.prop-menu ];
src = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "idris-community";
repo = "idris2-mode";
rev = "4a3f9cdb1a155da59824e39f0ac78ccf72f2ca97";
sha256 = "sha256-TxsGaG2fBRWWP9aas59kiNnUVD4ZdNlwwaFbM4+n81c=";
};
};
};

| ribosomerocker | because as I see it, one of the other non-standard things NDE does is use an overlay to add additional packages rather than just a list of packages | 17:24:57 |
| ribosomerocker | e.g. zsh uses a list of derivations for plugins in home-manager | 17:25:11 |
