 Winter (she/her) | so i use colmena exec to reboot all the machines in my hive, and it always exits with an error because it's not able to call nix(?); says it exits with an error code of 255
why would it be trying to run nix? and is it trying to do it on the remote machine which is probably down by the time it tries to run it...? | 03:17:21 |

Oh right, I should change the error message from "Nix exited with error code" to "Child process exited with error code." It's misleading in this case. | 04:04:25 |

would the child process be ssh in this case? Yeah, I presume it was because of the remote host disconnecting. I should really add a --reboot feature so there is no need to do a colmena exec after activation | 04:35:48 |

#62: nix-eval-jobs patch causes build failure with nixos-21.11 nixpkgs
If you use a flake of colmena and do inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";, it fails to build:
error: builder for '/nix/store/2sikwzzkkzggxi7snbml0sc7sv4wkzn2-nix-eval-jobs-0.0.1-colmena.drv' failed with exit code 1;

For full logs, run 'nix log /nix/store/2sikwzzkkzggxi7snbml0sc7sv4wkzn2-nix-eval-jobs-0.0.1-colmena.drv'.
In general, I like to run my systems on stable nixpkgs as much as possible.

#63: apply_local: Fix nixos detection from os-release
This fixes apply-local not detecting the system as NixOS due to the changes in the format of the os-release file.
Details on the changes made to the os-release file can be found in the following commit https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/bae181d3f0f453d9a23cf5e899c2cb0f96e91fef.
I'm new to Rust so let me know if I've missed anything, thanks!
