@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanwhy would that happen..20:36:56
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanthis is me, trying to make my PR to make the image builder kernel configurable20:41:18
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanIt's quite a minimal PR 20:41:41

@drsensor:matrix.org૮༼⚆︿⚆༽つ / wildan joined the room.20:46:17
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughan Oh.. it's because my config for the thing I'm building an image for actually modifies the nixpkgs.hostPlatform of the disko image builder.. 21:30:45
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanit's a bit too intertwined I think21:30:50
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughandisko's image builder should not care about the nixosConfig as much as it does, it inherits too much21:31:18
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughani.e it needs its own pkgs instance, uneffected by the nixosConfig's overlays and stuff21:32:15
