 Yifei Sun | btw cuda maintainer gaétan and i chatted a while back and he also found that the meta.nixpkgs is only used in colmena internally and you can literally instantiate with any system it’d still work | 11:37:52 |
| Yifei Sun | https://github.com/GaetanLepage/nix-config/blob/9bc50d15806536b3e8599ed8c176642e337868fd/modules/flake/colmena.nix#L21 | 11:38:25 |
| Yifei Sun | looks like this is mostly caused by the hermetic guard here: https://github.com/zhaofengli/colmena/blob/349b035a5027f23d88eeb3bc41085d7ee29f18ed/src/nix/hive/eval.nix#L89
they are only using it to use lib , get the path to eval-config.nix in nixpkgs (https://github.com/zhaofengli/colmena/blob/349b035a5027f23d88eeb3bc41085d7ee29f18ed/src/nix/hive/eval.nix#L122), and reinject overlays and configs (https://github.com/zhaofengli/colmena/blob/349b035a5027f23d88eeb3bc41085d7ee29f18ed/src/nix/hive/eval.nix#L129) | 14:30:39 |
| Yifei Sun | imo its totally possible this bootstrap is done in colmena (i.e. ask users to only pass in normal nixpkgs without instantiation and set the platform to a constant like x86_64-linux in colmena for bootstrap) so users are less confused lmaooo
or even better, we dont even need bootstrap to get overlays and configs, just create a few more meta knobs and ask users to pass overlays and configs in | 14:32:45 |

 gmacon | It's tracked at https://github.com/zhaofengli/colmena/issues/166 | 22:01:25 |
| Yifei Sun | that's only about the reboot timeout which is easily solvable by adding ssh timeout knobs to deployment.sshOptions | 22:09:47 |
| Yifei Sun | network changes during live switching is not tracked in there and imho, only addressable by adding detached activation | 22:10:40 |
| gmacon | Oops, I was reading that just in the context of the previous message, which was talking about SSH options | 22:18:48 |
| gmacon | Feel free to create an issue if there isn't already one | 22:19:09 |
