 mei 🌒& | * JoelMcCracken: right so, the emacs shim runs in one go, currently collecting just the package names, and it doesn't have a network connection at this point because it's in a Nix build. the package meta is put into a json file, which is the output of this derivation. next up the nix evaluator parses this JSON, and prepares the next derivation using that: reading another derivation's result is called IFD | 19:49:32 |

 JoelMcCracken | ahhhhhh | 19:50:16 |
| mei 🌒& | but the trick is we don't always get fully-qualified package paths, sometimes we just get a (package! blahblah-mode), and we have to resolve it | 19:50:38 |
| JoelMcCracken | sure | 19:50:55 |
| mei 🌒& | so that's done here atm | 19:51:55 |
| JoelMcCracken | this seems to be the key https://github.com/radian-software/straight.el/blob/master/straight.el#L3022 | 19:54:45 |
| mei 🌒& | i feel that comment on 3031 | 19:55:36 |
| mei 🌒& | so essentially we need to determine a good spot to splice Nix in | 19:56:38 |
| mei 🌒& | that ideally doesn't involve a large api surface area | 19:56:52 |
| JoelMcCracken | yeah | 19:58:12 |
| mei 🌒& | so that's about where i timed out last time after running around the room trying to read elisp | 19:58:40 |
 j4m3s | slighty related question, is it sufficient to lock doom's git version to lock package version or ? (I'm confused about the ~/.emacs.d/bin/doom upgrade | 19:59:10 |
| mei 🌒& | moooostly | 19:59:28 |
| mei 🌒& | all of doom's own packages should be pinned, but the user doesn't have to specify a pin | 19:59:50 |
| mei 🌒& | like I have all of these: | 20:00:09 |
| mei 🌒& | 
Download image.png | 20:00:10 |
| j4m3s | Yeah right, i was just confused by the fact that in the modules they're called w/o the pin | 20:00:41 |
| j4m3s | But seems like the pin is global to the repo :) | 20:00:49 |
| mei 🌒& |

| mei 🌒& | JoelMcCracken: so this is another thing to consider actually. we need to save straight's resolutions. or every package registry's, but that might not be as feasible | 20:02:42 |
| mei 🌒& | i'm tending more towards that doom2nix that saves all the source url/commit-ish/hash pins | 20:03:43 |
| j4m3s | mb then, I remembered it being empty. Thanks for the correction ~ | 20:07:46 |
| JoelMcCracken | what is doom2nix? | 21:15:16 |
| JoelMcCracken | also,
we need to save straight's resolutions
is this covered by e..g exporting them as json output?
| 21:16:07 |
| JoelMcCracken | * also,

| 21:16:16 |
| mei 🌒& | JoelMcCracken: it's a thing that doesn't exist. but it'd be a CLI that pokes the network and creates a nde-specific json lockfile for resolutions | 21:20:29 |
| mei 🌒& | the idea is we want to put as little as possible behind the hash-dependent part with the network access | 21:21:08 |
| JoelMcCracken | hmm | 21:29:12 |
| 10 Aug 2023 |
| JoelMcCracken | I imagine I could add some shim here https://github.com/nix-community/nix-straight.el/blob/master/setup.el#L20 | 03:07:07 |
