@jade_:matrix.orgjade_* we had to do effectively the same change in lix 2.93 because it turns out it was ill-designed from the beginning and the previous behaviour was severely broken in a very hard to fix way that caused eval to be nondeterministic (which seemed like a bigger sin). the issue i have is not that the output path changed; i don't particularly care about that; but it needs to be in the Breaking Changes section and done on purpose like it is in lix.01:45:35
@jade_:matrix.orgjade_ btw now that we fixed nixpkgs to not break when you put an overlays.default shaped overlay that overrides pkgs.nix, you should write an equivalent document to https://wiki.lix.systems/books/lix-contributors/page/lix-beta-guide 01:48:19
@jade_:matrix.orgjade_ this is the foundation of lix's QA processes and is one of the main reasons, besides generally immediately prioritizing regressions on main, that lix has relatively few bugs. 01:52:40
