 zygohistomorphic glyph | is there a good way to have colmena pick up on submodules when using flakes? decided to move my secrets management to a submodule but it has proven to be a huge pain | 22:49:15 |
| zygohistomorphic glyph | 'nix build' supports submodules via nix build .?submodules=1 so I tried passing '--nix-option submodules 1' but that doesn't help. | 22:50:51 |

| zygohistomorphic glyph | i ended up solving it by using flake-compat for the hive. couldn't get rid of flakes entirely since i rely on agenix-rekey | 13:30:54 |

| Leon | Is there a way to avoid hard-coding any particular system architecture into a flake-based Colmena hive? I supply an explicit nodeNixpkgs override for every node (with system set to that node's particular architecture), but I still need to supply a value for colmena.meta.nixpkgs nonetheless. With pure flake eval, builtins.currentSystem is not available for that. Right now, I'm using some random value which I don't have binfmt setup for (powerpc64le-freebsd) to make sure that nothing actually depends on that value, but that feels more like a hack than anything else. | 01:07:09 |
| Leon | I'm a little suprised that Colmena doesn't use the de-facto standard flake output format of colmenaHive.${system} = ... (which would solve that problem). Could also be helpful for writing flakes that use IFD to generate the hive attribute set and can be evaluated cross-platform. Is there any particular reason why it doesn't work like that? | 01:10:27 |
