 @n4ch723hr3r:nope.chat | i think hes asking for an opinion about flake.parts | 18:43:44 |

 hsjobeki | I'd say i don't have a general opinion.
If you develop a third party nix library that other people depend on every input that you have adds to their dependencies as well.
That is how flake dependencies behave. And everyone needs to pin nixpkgs-lib of flake-parts otherwise you get their version, which is an extra 50MB download.
Other than that if you are using it for your own project that doesn't have dependents it is in my opinion a good UX, which lets you leverage the module system to decompose the components of your flake. | 16:33:29 |
 Robert Hensing (roberth) | it now uses a small lib-only flake fwiw, but the override still makes sense to have | 16:39:27 |

| mr-qubo | I recently stumbled upon similar issue when working on home-manager. https://discourse.nixos.org/t/is-it-possible-to-define-systemd-services-in-a-submodule/39538/5
The idea is that enabling https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/options.xhtml#opt-programs.bash.enableCompletion should set environment.pathsToLink = [ "/share/bash-completion" ];.
I think that module system is missing an option to pass config options recursively up to all ancestors.
| 15:06:01 |
| mr-qubo | My idea is that nixos config could have a property extraNixosChildConfig and in home-manager bash module I could set _recurseAncestors = { extraNixosChildConfig = { environment.pathsToLink = [ ... ]; }; }. | 15:07:22 |
| mr-qubo | wdyt? | 15:07:26 |
| mr-qubo | * My idea is that nixos config could have a property extraNixosChildConfig that gets merged with the rest of the config and in home-manager bash module I could set _recurseAncestors = { extraNixosChildConfig = { environment.pathsToLink = [ ... ]; }; }. | 15:07:44 |
| mr-qubo | * My idea is that nixos config could pick up extraNixosChildConfig from childs and merge it with the rest of the config and in home-manager bash module I could set _recurseAncestors = { extraNixosChildConfig = { environment.pathsToLink = [ ... ]; }; }. | 15:08:21 |
 infinisil | Not sure about that recursive thing, that doesn't seem necessary, but yeah if there's something missing in the NixOS module for home-manager, that could be added | 15:34:09 |
| infinisil | Sounds like an issue for the home-manager repo | 15:34:16 |
| mr-qubo | Yeah, we could add it just for home-manager. But is seems like the issue is quite generic. See also https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/152785. | 15:51:50 |
| infinisil | Hmm yeah fair. I don't have the capacity to think a lot about this right now, it's a very intricate topic to wrap ones head around | 15:56:55 |
| mr-qubo | Yeah, I just wanted to bring the topic, maybe someone has some interesting thoughts. | 16:05:23 |
