 @trofi:matrix.org | No, CA derivations don't have it as a prefix:
nix-repl> hello.outPath

 Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | So what's there to check that it's just /$sha256? | 13:14:27 |
| @trofi:matrix.org | "^/[A-Za-z0-9]{52}.*" | 13:18:42 |
| @trofi:matrix.org | Proposed the nixpkgs workaround as https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/377007 | 15:38:08 |
| Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | Ngl i kinda dislike it | 15:39:57 |
| Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | It gets rid of a lot of strictness just to support an experimental feature that almost nobody uses and that is implemented pretty badly | 15:40:42 |
| Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | You shouldn't punish the vast majority of nix users just because CA paths are represented stupidly | 15:41:20 |
 emily | why are they not rooted in the store anyway? | 16:05:17 |
| emily | using a path that might exist, in a namespace not owned by Nix, seems weird. | 16:05:29 |
| @trofi:matrix.org | They are invalid paths anyway :) | 16:16:51 |
 @aloisw:julia0815.de | In reply to @emilazy:matrix.org
using a path that might exist, in a namespace not owned by Nix, seems weird. If they are unpredictable, they're very unlikely to exist. | 17:19:04 |
| @aloisw:julia0815.de | (Unlike, say /__corepkgs__ if you really want to fool Nix.) | 17:19:18 |
| emily | do I want to know what /__corepkgs__ is for? | 18:10:22 |
 jade_ | In reply to @emilazy:matrix.org
do I want to know what /__corepkgs__ is for? hack for implementing <nix/fetchurl.nix> being resolved | 18:19:03 |
| emily | ew. | 18:19:16 |
| jade_ | we can probably deprecate it or implement it some other way eventually but yeah :/ | 18:20:08 |
| jade_ | it's kind of the least of the problems in the evaluator | 18:20:23 |
 puck | In reply to @emilazy:matrix.org
using a path that might exist, in a namespace not owned by Nix, seems weird. it's /, followed by the nixbase32 encoding of sha256(nix-upstream-output:{store path hash of the drv}:{drv name}{"-" + output name, if not "out"}); i'm not really sure why it's /-prefixed when e.g. builtins.placeholder isn't | 18:37:43 |
| emily | huh. builtins.placeholder "x" is /-prefixed for me. I never realized it used that format though | 18:38:17 |
| puck | oh, wait, dangit, yeah, it is | 18:38:29 |
| puck | oops | 18:38:35 |
| puck | i assume it's to avoid accidentally matching the middle of a path string? but still | 18:39:05 |
| puck | 22d6e31fc6a9de2ee424984e629ccd2e394ba512, gives no clear reason as to why, so who knows | 19:22:12 |

 elikoga | I think there was a regression with nix flake remove, a test that was previously possible to write is now no longer possible to write.
See https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/12380 for the regression and
For the previous test: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/79801c7de0c931825546cd4bd9c61aada4e995a0/tests/nix-profile.sh#L65
Which is not possible now: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/68f3b56b183ca12b64b7fcf0f31dffd62adfcf55/tests/functional/nix-profile.sh#L65
Both are part of https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/8956 which was approved Sept 2023, but not merged
Anyone have any clues on how I can write the test line anyways? Maybe I missed something.
