 John Ericson | the current 2.24-maintenance commit becomes ee1ce... Eelco :) | 16:13:24 |
| John Ericson | Now we just need an ee1c0... to do better, once we hit that, Nix is complete! | 16:14:09 |

| binarydigitz01 | Hi, I wanted to try out the experimental feature "recursive-nix", and could not find a way to pass sets like pkgs.emacs and even pkgs itself. I tried building my emacs configuration using nix recursive method:
https://bpa.st/GXXA
Could anyone tell me if its possible to pass sets to nix-instantiate some other way?
| 14:26:01 |
| binarydigitz01 | If there isn't a way currently, I was thinking there could be a nix function that takes a derivation and the arguements needed to build the derivation, then call the nix-initialise itself and pass the arguements via sockets | 14:30:40 |

 Lisanna | FWIW, recursive nix is slated to be removed soon. You may also want https://matrix.to/#/#users:nixos.org for future support, this is a development channel ^-^ | 17:45:32 |

| John Ericson | Eelco: I forgot about https://github.com/edolstra/nix-serve | 16:40:07 |
| John Ericson | that is the other perl consumer | 16:40:22 |
 hexa | I'd argue nix-serve is fairly obsolete | 16:40:45 |
| hexa | with nix-serve-ng and harmonia | 16:40:49 |

| hexa | Redacted or Malformed Event | 16:41:00 |
| John Ericson | yeah | 16:42:46 |
| John Ericson | harmonia I guess does everything it does? (I am not very famliiar` with the binary part of haronia, just the underlying libraries) | 16:43:17 |
| hexa | expose the local /nix/store as a binary cache with signing | 16:47:09 |
| hexa | is what both of these do | 16:47:14 |
| John Ericson | OK | 16:51:39 |
| John Ericson | makes sense | 16:51:41 |
| John Ericson | I am gona vibecode nix-serve into c++ for fun :) | 16:52:02 |
| John Ericson | and then Eelco can choose what he wants to do | 16:52:19 |

harmonia I guess does everything it does? (I am not very famliiar` with the binary part of haronia, just the underlying libraries) It's feature complete as far as I can tell. | 17:06:42 |

I am gona vibecode nix-serve into c++ for fun :) I tried many years ago. But there was no nice c++ Webserver... Maybe there is a decent c one? | 17:08:00 |
