yeah that was essentially the motivation for the project in the first place. I noticed a lot of patterns were getting redesigned over and over so tried to see if maybe we could get some consensus going. did you guys end up doing anything about repo mixing? that is a repeating pattern i have seen a ton of | 00:01:31 |
 @timdeh:matrix.org | perhaps, what do you mean by repo mixing exactly though 😅 | 00:03:25 |
| 6aa4fd | mainly using unstable packages in your configuratino | 00:04:29 |
| 6aa4fd | like at a basic level | 00:04:47 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | oh yeah that is a thing | 00:04:55 |
| 6aa4fd | you guys have a good way of dealing with it? | 00:05:09 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | This overlay essentially get's imported from an alternate nixpkgs:
https://github.com/divnix/devos/blob/main/overlays/overrides.nix | 00:05:47 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | I was wondering if we should expand this at some point to allow for more than a single override source | 00:06:06 |
| 6aa4fd | pkgs-unstable = import inputs.nixpkgs-unstable {
system = config.nixpkgs.system;
config = { allowUnfree = true; };
};
| 00:08:15 |
| 6aa4fd | this is what i use, i use a let statement, then i can just add stuff from here directly | 00:08:28 |
| 6aa4fd | which i like because then i don't have to figure out how my package set is "polluted" when i am just quickly upgrading my version of a program | 00:09:12 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | That's kinda what's going on under the hood, the overlay is just the input for the import essentially | 00:18:42 |

I was wondering if we should expand this at some point to allow for more than a single override source That's already possible. You can override from any "channel" 😁 | 01:13:08 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | perfect, yeah my perspective on the project is quite stale by now unfortunately 😅 | 03:10:53 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | maybe I should run through the current features and update the docs 😄 | 03:12:05 |
|  yusdacra changed their profile picture. | 15:49:09 |

| yusdacra | I was running someone through devos starting docs, this command in start's index.md seems to not work, and errors with "not a git repository":
nix-shell https://github.com/divnix/devos/archive/core.tar.gz -A shell \
--run "flk get core"
this also doesnt work, says flk is not found:
nix-shell https://github.com/divnix/devos/archive/main.tar.gz -A shell \
--run "flk get main"

| David Arnold (blaggacao) | bud get might work... frommain branch | 03:20:29 |
 @gytis-ivaskevicius:matrix.org | https://github.com/divnix/bud/blob/main/flake.nix#L4 | 03:22:10 |
| @gytis-ivaskevicius:matrix.org | What's up with these? | 03:22:18 |
| @gytis-ivaskevicius:matrix.org | Never seen it being documented anywhere | 03:22:29 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | It's not, but it works in recent nix... It's dumb,but self-documenting. | 03:23:16 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | (without flakes enabled, one would have a hard time getting thus far) | 03:23:55 |
| @gytis-ivaskevicius:matrix.org | What's not self documenting is substitutes scope - it is probably global? | 03:24:15 |
 tomberek | https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/master/src/libexpr/flake/config.cc#L32 | 03:24:22 |
| tomberek | i don't think it will have any effect | 03:24:56 |
| @gytis-ivaskevicius:matrix.org | Also maybe fup should set experimental features like that instead via module? | 03:25:12 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | whitlist refers to "trusted" (no dialogue) | 03:26:08 |
| tomberek | or rather, it gets added to ~/.local/share/nix/trusted-settings.json | 03:26:23 |
