@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughan Why is it git+file and not git+path 13:27:26
@toonn:matrix.orgtoonn Extension of the file protocol? 13:35:23
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanbut the argument you pass it, is a path, not a file14:27:22
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughan git+file:/home/foo is not a file, but this is necessary 14:27:35
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughan it should be git+path:/home/foo 14:27:49
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforever git calls it file https://git-scm.com/book/ms/v2/Git-on-the-Server-The-Protocols 14:32:20
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforever i think path: is a nix invention... probably 14:33:06
@toonn:matrix.orgtoonn matthewcroughan: I meant as an extension of the file URI scheme, file:///some/path . 14:34:48

In reply to @joerg:thalheim.io
by making it more specific
that’s what i was thinking
we could also iterate over the glob matches and use the first one that actually has a /bin/nix subpath as well to be a bit safer (since i really doubt the day will come where we have multiple nix binaries in the store during install)
16:51:32
@getchoo:matrix.orggetchoo* this worked before the component split in 2.29 since there would only be one main nix store path at this point, but now it matches the nix-main store path first, which doesn't have a bin dir or any of the nix binaries16:52:24
