 ultranix | yeah so you need to use rakeLeaves per user to import? | 18:31:31 |
| ultranix | ah no, there's a use of rakeLeaves ./users under nixOS | 18:32:27 |
| ultranix | just trying to figure out where to add homeManager suites, it makes sense suites are in flake.nix | 18:35:16 |
 @timdeh:matrix.org | yeah, it's good to know how rakeLeaves looks for files. It recurses directories looking for *.nix files and includes any it finds as a profile. In the special case where a file is named default.nix, the recursion stops on that branch and only the default.nix file get's imported in that directory | 18:36:56 |

| ultranix | ah, good to know. thank you | 18:37:23 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | hmm, it seems fixing the home-manager module is a bit more complex since it doesn't have a nix.package equivalent 🤔 | 18:40:53 |
| ultranix | so its an issue? | 18:43:47 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | sorry, this is in response to d4hines issue. I'm trying to recreate this nixpkgs PR in home-manager, but I need access to the currently install nix package to inspect it's version | 18:44:42 |

 @d4hines:matrix.org | If I use an overlay I don't need to do a version check, right? | 18:45:18 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | no, you would just remove _nix from nix-zsh-completions. I just need the version in the more general case, so that completions work for users of both stable and unstable when they pull the module | 18:45:53 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | You would just need to copy this override to your overlay essentially:
https://github.com/nrdxp/nixpkgs/blob/6dbf8c04097c8961bb1cb9cb319fee42eb19ab7a/nixos/modules/programs/zsh/zsh.nix#L288-L293 | 18:46:42 |
| @d4hines:matrix.org | So I've written the overlay, but how do I "apply" it? https://github.com/d4hines/beth/blob/master/flake.nix#L8-L18 | 19:06:32 |
| @d4hines:matrix.org | I'm getting the same error, obviously because I'm not telling home-manger "use this new nixpkgs" | 19:07:08 |
| @d4hines:matrix.org | * I'm getting the same error, obviously because I'm not telling home-manger "use this new nixpkgs" (there could be other mistakes too thought 😅) | 19:07:33 |

| @timdeh:matrix.org | so I think the overlay should go in channels.<your-channel>.overlays | 19:08:16 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | based on whichever channel gets forward to home-manager | 19:08:28 |
| @d4hines:matrix.org | In reply to @timdeh:matrix.org
so I think the overlay should go in channels.<your-channel>.overlays Would you happen to have a link to docs describing this? | 19:08:53 |
| @d4hines:matrix.org | I have trouble finding nix flake docs. | 19:09:09 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | this is a digga feature, so it should be documented here: digga.divnix.com | 19:12:21 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | oh wait, it looks like you are not using mkFlake | 19:12:50 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | so maybe not | 19:12:52 |
| @d4hines:matrix.org | Right. I want to do this without libraries first, then refactor as necessary. | 19:13:08 |
| @d4hines:matrix.org | Still trying to wrap my head around nix, flakes, etc. | 19:13:20 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | so by pulling pkgs from the module are here:
https://github.com/nrdxp/nixpkgs/blob/6dbf8c04097c8961bb1cb9cb319fee42eb19ab7a/nixos/modules/programs/zsh/zsh.nix#L288-L293
You are overiding the pkgs you declared in your let binding earlier | 19:13:42 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | * so by pulling pkgs from the module args here:
https://github.com/nrdxp/nixpkgs/blob/6dbf8c04097c8961bb1cb9cb319fee42eb19ab7a/nixos/modules/programs/zsh/zsh.nix#L288-L293
You are overiding the pkgs you declared in your let binding earlier | 19:13:51 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | does home-manager have a way to override the global pkgs? I doesn't look like it from the docs. In that case, it looks like you'd wanna throw your overlay in nixpkgs.overlays | 19:16:17 |
| @d4hines:matrix.org | In reply to @timdeh:matrix.org
does home-manager have a way to override the global pkgs? I doesn't look like it from the docs. In that case, it looks like you'd wanna throw your overlay in nixpkgs.overlays There's an attribute called overlay in the flake schema. I don't put it in there? | 19:18:29 |
