 @aynish:sealight.xyz | hello, im trying to update to 21.11 but when i change the pinned version of nixpkgs i get this error:
`error: value is null while a set was expected

 @teutat3s:pub.solar | That's because digga needs an update, too | 12:57:23 |
| @aynish:sealight.xyz | dang, so i can't update just yet? | 12:57:40 |
| @teutat3s:pub.solar | You could try
nix flake lock --update-input digga
| 12:58:12 |
| @teutat3s:pub.solar | then make the change to the nixos input -> 21.11 release branch in your flake.nix like here https://github.com/divnix/devos/pull/403/files#diff-206b9ce276ab5971a2489d75eb1b12999d4bf3843b7988cbe8d687cfde61dea0 | 12:59:19 |
| @teutat3s:pub.solar | and maybe after that just:
nix flake update
This will update the flake.lock for all inputs
| 13:00:22 |
| @aynish:sealight.xyz | oooh i'll try, thank you very much :) | 13:00:33 |
| @teutat3s:pub.solar | the last cmd is sufficient actually and makes the first one I mentioned redundant (it'll update the digga input as well), but I find it a handy cmd to surgically update inputs | 13:01:53 |
| @aynish:sealight.xyz | hmmmm, not quite? this is the error i get now. seems like digga didn't update?

| @teutat3s:pub.solar | are you using the latest devos changes in your Repo? | 13:09:25 |
| @aynish:sealight.xyz | yeah, i made all the changes here: https://github.com/divnix/devos/pull/403/files#diff-206b9ce276ab5971a2489d75eb1b12999d4bf3843b7988cbe8d687cfde61dea0 | 13:09:43 |
| @aynish:sealight.xyz | but i didn't pull the repo | 13:09:54 |
| @aynish:sealight.xyz | i mean, i didn't change flake.lock by hand, just ran nix flake update | 13:12:13 |
| @aynish:sealight.xyz | which hash should digga be locked to? | 13:17:10 |
| @teutat3s:pub.solar | "locked": {
"lastModified": 1638227261,
"narHash": "sha256-CbleULqH3NRnnLdwqHqi0qk1sEmhyXE8ZOzjofilGM4=",

},
| 13:19:51 |
| @aynish:sealight.xyz | same issue :/ | 13:22:37 |
| @aynish:sealight.xyz | i think i figured it out. im on an older version of devos it seems... should really keep my branch up to date | 13:44:35 |
| @aynish:sealight.xyz | thank you for your help teutat3s :) | 13:44:44 |
| @teutat3s:pub.solar | aynish: you’re welcome | 14:31:40 |

| David Arnold (blaggacao) | https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/5709 | 15:22:10 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Now, how do we make sure, that we actually use them? | 15:22:26 |
|  janus joined the room. | 16:01:14 |
| janus | you cant open PRs to nix or what? j/w | 16:05:43 |
| janus | Hello all, does anyone know of examples with deploy-rs to spin up a bunch of qemu nodes for testing p2p stuff our or something similar? | 16:10:41 |
| @teutat3s:pub.solar | In reply to @blaggacao:matrix.org
Now, how do we make sure, that we actually use them? Probably by pinning to a nixpkgs commit with nix nixUnstable pre-2.5 that has those changes? | 16:56:08 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | The thing is, that we can't really force a nixpkgs version down peoples throat since that coupling has no legit basis. | 17:06:00 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | we could resort back to shipping our pinned nix version again, but that brings us also back into the realm of "bootstrapping nix" problems (potentially). | 17:06:53 |
