Sandro | but I am personal normally on unstable and for packages on master so upgrading everything is just easier and saves me time. | 14:36:41 |
ris_ | Henson: you're aware of vulnix aren't you? | 19:42:29 |
ris_ | also the whole "sniffing patch names for CVE ids" thing is a fairly well trodden path in nix | 19:44:06 |
hexa | tbh, it's why I don't rely on channels | 19:51:38 |
hexa | my servers track the nixos-$release branches via niv, and my workstations run from a git checkout of master | 19:52:11 |
hexa | can always just git log --grep=CVE... | 19:52:23 |
Henson | ris_: no I'm not aware of vulnix | 20:19:34 |
| * Henson searches for it | 20:19:48 |
ris_ | it sounds quite a lot like what you're looking for | 20:20:02 |
Henson | ris_: is it the hacklab vulnix thing, or something else? | 20:20:58 |
ris_ | https://github.com/flyingcircusio/vulnix | 20:21:22 |
Henson | ris_: awesome, I'll look into that | 20:21:54 |
Henson | hexa: have you ever encountered the need to only upgrade parts of your system (like what I described about updating sudo while intentionally keeping the rest of the system at an older NixOS version?) | 20:23:05 |
hexa | Henson: I use overlays for a few things, yeah | 20:23:33 |
Henson | hexa: thanks for the suggestion of using niv and the git checkouts. Do you incorporate niv/git into your root user's channels, or import them into the system configuration? | 20:25:38 |
hexa | Henson: using niv for my servers integrated with morph | 20:25:58 |
hexa | my workstations have a git checkout at /etc/nixpkgs (whoops) | 20:26:24 |
hexa | I'll sometimes carry patches on there | 20:27:02 |
hexa | and then rebuild with -I nixpkgs=/etc/nixpkgs | 20:27:17 |
Henson | In reply to @hexa:lossy.network my workstations have a git checkout at /etc/nixpkgs (whoops) what's the (whoops) for? | 20:30:15 |
hexa | dropping not-config into /etc 😂 | 20:30:31 |
Henson | ahhh | 20:30:43 |
Henson | ok hexa , thanks for your suggestions. Thanks ris_ for the vulnix suggestion, I'll look into these options. | 20:31:26 |
