Linux Hackerman: something along this in flake outputs?

    colmena.defaults = {
      system.nixos.version = "nixos-${nixpkgs.shortRev}";
    };

that is, if I use meta.nodeNixpkgs it will deploy using the nixpkgs I want it to, but have an incorrect version string

Is there a way to pass the flake inputs on to all machine configs? I'd like to do things like imports = [ "${inputs.nixos-mailserver}/default.nix" ]; in my machine configs.

In reply to @zhaofeng:zhaofeng.li
You can pass the inputs using either meta.specialArgs.inputs = inputs; or _module.args.inputs = inputs; in a node config

[zhaofengli/colmena] JCapucho opened issue #50: Nixpkgs fails to build on unstable

Hi, I'm using colmena with a flake to build a node that uses the nixos-unstable branch of nixpkgs (commit is https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/689b76bcf36055afdeb2e9852f5ecdd2bf483f87), but it's failing to build.

In the start of the log I see a warning with

capucho-nixos | trace: warning: The following Nixpkgs configuration keys set in meta.nixpkgs will be ignored: path

Which leads me to believe that the issue might be caused by ignoring the path attribute introduced in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/153594

Here's the log of running colmena build --show-trace --verbose log.txt

In reply to @linus.heckemann:matrix.mayflower.de
maybe specialArgs doesn't have that problem though? I'll give it a try

In reply to @linus.heckemann:matrix.mayflower.de
I tried the latter, it resulted in infinite recursion in combination with imports = [ inputs.nixos-mailserver ];

{ config, pkgs, inputs, ... }:

{
  imports =
    [
      inputs.nixos-mailserver.nixosModule
    ];
