I think it’s this issue that has been fixed, but I think a new version of colmena including it hasn’t been released yet

https://github.com/zhaofengli/colmena/issues/202

hi, im configuring colmena, whats the significance of meta.nixpkgs namley the system i choose? the docs say:
The pinned Nixpkgs package set. Accepts one of the following:

A path to a Nixpkgs checkout
The Nixpkgs lambda (e.g., import <nixpkgs>)
An initialized Nixpkgs attribute set

This option must be specified when using Flakes.

yet it complains if i pass anything other than an initialized nixpkgs attribute set

Hey, when using colmena with nixosConfigurations, as suggested in this Issus:https://github.com/zhaofengli/colmena/issues/60, where do i put the `deploment.targetUser` and `targetHost` properties?

      colmena = {
        meta = {
          # Figure out the default nixpkgs to use for each node.
          nixpkgs = import inputs.nixpkgs {
            system = "x86_64-linux";
            config.permittedInsecurePackages = insecure-packages;
          };

Hi, I am overriding package version via overrideAttrs. colmena build works fine, however applying the build throws this error:

error: cannot add path '/nix/store/dpxhgkc31n0yh7mv7a47x5p9j4rmk3gz-foundationdb73' because it lacks a signature by a trusted key

Is there a way to bypass the check?

I tried putting it in the package and it doesn't seem to be picking it up.

      colmena = {
        meta = {
          # Figure out the default nixpkgs to use for each node.
          nixpkgs = import inputs.nixpkgs {
            system = "x86_64-linux";
            config.permittedInsecurePackages = insecure-packages;
          };

Putting it as config. in various places get the error where you can't configure a setting and a service in the same (unknown boot or services depending on where).

get the error where you can't configure a setting and a service in the same (unknown boot or services depending on where).

I'm not sure what that means

get the error where you can't configure a setting and a service in the same (unknown boot or services depending on where).

I'm not sure what that means

config.permittedInsecurePackages = ["dotnet-sdk-6.0.428"];

       error: Module `:anon-1766:anon-1' has an unsupported attribute `boot'. This is caused by introducing a top-level `config' or `options' attribute. Add configuration attributes immediately on the top level instead, or move all of them (namely: boot deployment environment networking services sops system time) into the explicit `config' attribute.

nixpkgs.config.permittedInsecurePackages = ["dotnet-sdk-6.0.428"];
