 p10r | In reply to @legendofmiracles:matrix.org
can either this channel or nix offtopic have another picture? It's hard to distinguish them I vote for B&W Nix logo for this room.
Down to the basics. | 05:01:28 |
| p10r | Or an 80's neon themed excessively vibrant and saturated one.. | 05:01:57 |

 Jez (he/him) | is it possible to do variable interpolation directly in a path, or do i need to append an interpolated string to a path to do this? | 11:21:29 |
 Alyssa Ross | I think you need to append a string | 11:22:12 |
 sterni (he/him) | the latter, but note that the path becomes a string then | 11:22:13 |
| Alyssa Ross | no it doesn't? | 11:22:42 |
| Alyssa Ross | nix-repl> ./test + "${toString builtins.currentTime}" | 11:22:50 |

| sterni (he/him) | oh you're right | 11:23:02 |
| Jez (he/him) | thanks 👍️ | 11:23:54 |
| sterni (he/him) | I was thinking of derivations | 11:24:12 |
 kevincox | I know that grahamc (he/him) gave some sort of standardized logo to other rooms (like #dev:nixos.org ). maybe we can start with one of those? Maybe "lang" as the text at the top? | 11:47:03 |
 grahamc | bring it up in #matrix-suggestions:nixos.org and cc samueldr please :) | 11:47:24 |

 Melg8 | Hi, if i have derivation drv, and i call drv.drvPath in other derivation, why it tries to build whole derivation drv? how can i avoid it? i need only path string and .drv file to be present in /nix/store - to do my thing and don't want it to try to start full build of it? | 13:02:26 |
 toonn | Melg8: The main channel's (#nix:nixos.org) actually more appropriate for that question. You'll find more eyeballs there : ) | 13:56:56 |
| Melg8 | @toons thanks. @sterni gived me answer which i think is what i'm looking for. It is builtins.unsafeDiscardStringContext drv.drvPath - yes it unsafe, but it at least doesn't try to build it. | 14:05:48 |
| toonn | Melg8: I think usually you'd get the drv path from the expression's .out, that's the path of least resistance. | 14:13:07 |
| Melg8 | 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? | 14:15:17 |
