@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeve * Has anyone considered a pr to flake registries to make them just an array of objects that contain owner, repo and type instead of what we have currently? Which IMO seems to deduplicate a lot of inputs that doesn't be needed. 00:50:08
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeve * Has anyone considered a pr to flake registries to make them just an array of objects that contain owner, repo and type instead of what we have currently? Which IMO seems to deduplicate a lot of inputs that doesn't be needed like the to and from. 00:51:27
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeveLike if there is no two and from, it should automatically assume that it is the to and from.00:53:47

Sorry to cross-post, and if this is off-topic.

I'm just wondering if anyone here is able to answer my question re unsafeDiscardStringContext vs unsafeDiscardOutputDependency (and the unsafeDiscardReferences attr) in the "nix language" room?

I'm unclear on the differences, when one might choose one over the other, whether they avoid building the (un)referenced derivation, etc.

@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rb i managed to somehow hit https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/10947 19:12:53
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbill move the cache but keep the old one in case anyone wants it19:13:05
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Not sure the cache would be useful without knowledge of how it was populated, but maybe useful nontheless19:18:15
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbim fighting with kernel builds (and struggling to get this kernel to build correctly, but thats a different issue), ive done so much stuff, idk how to reproduce this mess19:39:45
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbbut i suspect that it coud be something with substituter and a unsigned path. thats the only weirdness i can think of19:40:12
