 David Arnold (blaggacao) | Gytis Ivaskevicius: I've to win you over for divnix/bud where we could land the users within the editable directory (if it's a custom pkg). Or we could even boostrap an overlay to modfy upstream in the appropriate local place. | 19:24:25 |

Gytis Ivaskevicius: I've to win you over for divnix/bud where we could land the users within the editable directory (if it's a custom pkg). Or we could even boostrap an overlay to modfy upstream in the appropriate local place. what is exactly the goal of it? | 19:25:07 |
| @gytis-ivaskevicius:matrix.org | one could mount overlayfs over /nix/store and make it editable 😀 | 19:25:24 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Like:
- "I want to modify my firefox"
nix-j firefox- profit!
| 19:25:48 |
| @gytis-ivaskevicius:matrix.org | And how are you expecting to do that? | 19:26:12 |
| @gytis-ivaskevicius:matrix.org | you are aware of nix-store --verify, right? | 19:26:38 |

(not sure what's the command for diffpath)

(not sure what's the command for diffpath, but you get the idea)
| 19:28:35 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Ah, no, wouldn't work. 🤣 | 19:29:08 |
| @gytis-ivaskevicius:matrix.org | im interested in the editing part | 19:29:23 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | ANyhow, it would be nice if we could make it wirk somehow... | 19:29:24 |

| @gytis-ivaskevicius:matrix.org | one could make fancy nix shell which just copies existing derivation and throws you into a shell | 19:29:41 |
| @gytis-ivaskevicius:matrix.org | that would be simple and useful | 19:29:49 |

im interested in the editing part in divnix/bud we have FLAKEROOT wich is guarantted to be the editable root of the system flake. | 19:29:55 |
| @gytis-ivaskevicius:matrix.org | yeah, but werent you talking about editing any package? (like firefox) | 19:30:29 |

in divnix/bud we have FLAKEROOT wich is guarantted to be the editable root of the system flake. regardless wether you are in a devshell or in a nixos system | 19:30:38 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | In reply to @gytis-ivaskevicius:matrix.org
yeah, but werent you talking about editing any package? (like firefox) In addition, we'd have to copy that over into the correct place within the flake repo. | 19:31:08 |

| @gytis-ivaskevicius:matrix.org | I can see it being useful for debuging, not for long term use tho | 19:31:59 |
 @teutat3s:pub.solar | PR is out, feeback welcome https://github.com/divnix/digga/pull/93 | 19:32:26 |
| @teutat3s:pub.solar | What would be the way to test my changes locally? I guess somehow convincing digga to use my PR's branch instead of develop? | 19:35:40 |
| @teutat3s:pub.solar | I'll try digga.url = "github:pub-solar/digga/fix/merge-or-append-nix-extraOptions"; | 19:37:30 |

| David Arnold (blaggacao) | I guess I found the cause for my infinite recursion loop: access to self.inputs seems not always to be cool. | 19:46:13 |

I guess I found the cause for my infinite recursion loop: access to self.inputs seems not always to be cool. Seems that was only one infinite recursion, the other one was: https://github.com/divnix/digga/commit/b121e7d9ecec9531d6fd90022c6cf9310bb9ecda | 20:20:52 |
