 getchoo | i figured this was something probably fixed in an update upstream and i'd need to wait on a rebase, but the code there actually remains entirely the same https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/blob/8a7bb095d93ada552d20d2f22ffd9f1668f8e394/src/action/base/setup_default_profile.rs#L56-L69 | 04:22:07 |
| getchoo | i think this might only work because the hash part of the release nix store path happens to be sorted before the other components, while it isn't in the pre-release tarball from the artifacts i'm pushing into this lol | 04:33:40 |
| getchoo | * when dogfooding is enabled with this experimental installer option, you'll end up with an 4: Failed to execute command HOME="/root" "/nix/store/dkmylx2wyz9i6ycbmr07lpv15mph0d7y-nix-main-2.32.0pre/bin/nix-store" "--load-db"`` errori traced it back to this pretty naive snippet of code that basically just takes the first path in the store matching nix-* and runs it, with no checks for if /bin/nix-store actually exists https://github.com/NixOS/experimental-nix-installer/blob/20be610e1f29c8a127146da67ed56f879b173ac6/src/action/base/setup_default_profile.rs#L55-L70 | 04:33:57 |

| getchoo | does seem to be the case after re-rolling the hash on a new revision. reported it https://github.com/NixOS/experimental-nix-installer/issues/47 and opened up a draft of everything in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/14002. i'm pretty sure it's in a good state, minus this bug? | 06:13:53 |

| getchoo | interesting, lix's fork of the installer doesn't have this issue: https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix-installer/src/commit/e4048682396999c11069f99f9b323f1d4a333bbc/src/action/base/setup_default_profile.rs#L57 seems to go back to an earlier implementation that was removed after they forked in https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/commit/16ee60a2f7d5d172db91484729f15dd09d0e5383 | 06:28:04 |
| getchoo | ....nevermind | 06:37:04 |
 Mic92 | getchoo: should we just fix the regex? | 11:22:45 |
| Mic92 | by making it more specific | 11:23:01 |
