| zuckerberg | Judson: you might want to consider using flakes | 19:00:54 |
 Judson | Flakes might be the right approach. Good excuse to play with them. | 19:01:38 |
| zuckerberg | i recommend this video if you are just starting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXUlhnhuRX4 | 19:02:23 |

toonn: if i have drv X how can i get list of all derivations that i need to build before that derivation? to build X? and all of that inside nix language itself? do you mean recursively or just the direct dependencices? | 00:39:27 |
|  samueldr changed their display name from samueldr to . | 00:46:02 |
| samueldr changed their display name from to samueldr. | 00:46:31 |
 Melg8 | mvnetbiz: recursively and without building actual stuff intrested only in env + builder + args from .drv files | 00:49:39 |
|  craige joined the room. | 04:18:22 |
 utdemir | Melg8: If you have the .drv file, you can run nix-store -qR /nix/store/blah.drv to see the build dependencies. (You can get the .drv file via nix-instantiate). | 05:15:19 |

| Melg8 | utdemir: yes, my problem is, i need that tech to be inside of nix itself. because i use it to get some files aggregated as derivation, and to have some additional setup files, also in derivation. And i can generate them in nix quite easy, using it's nixpgs lib functions. But same thing outside of nix will be harder for me to achieve. | 12:49:11 |
| Melg8 | i think i'll just give up on idea of running it in sandbox for now and use nix-store/nix-instantiate/nix to do the thing, later if project has any good outcomes me, or somebody else would figure much better solution | 12:58:13 |

 Chinchilla Optional | Does anyone have any ide recommendations for nix/nixpkgs? | 05:37:37 |
| emily | I don't know if anything has fancy enough Nix integration to count as an IDE. there's a work-in-progress LSP implementation, it seems? | 05:47:34 |
| emily | my choices for navigating and editing nixpkgs are fairly brute force: I find where stuff is with ripgrep, then poke at it with kakoune | 05:48:16 |
| emily | finding stuff by name is also useful, because it's impossible to guess where any package will be categorized :p | 05:48:49 |
