 Alyssa Ross | wow, you can't define a flake for nix code from somewhere else? | 08:05:09 |

Would you accept a PR? I guess I could maintain a simple fork if not Maybe. I'm not the maintainer. We just don't really use flakes (yet).
Might give it a try (again) at some point, idk. | 08:08:44 |

wow, you can't define a flake for nix code from somewhere else? you can use a non-flake git(hub) repo as a non-flake flake input | 08:55:42 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | That could be a sensible alternative path. | 08:56:12 |

Would you accept a PR? I guess I could maintain a simple fork if not We could merge the PR but we wouldn't maintain the file. If it got out of date, somebody else would have to take care of it | 09:46:41 |

2 questions:
Could you create a flake with both nixstore-lib and harmonia itself?
AND
Are you based in Finland or Germany?

wow, you can't define a flake for nix code from somewhere else? I made a flake for some code I hadn’t written by cloning the repo and writing the code myself | 16:40:41 |

Because the org is named Helsinki... and GitHub say their location is Germany 😅 | 16:40:50 |
| schuelermine | Ah! | 16:40:57 |
| Alyssa Ross | that confused me as well | 16:41:02 |

I made a flake for some code I hadn’t written by cloning the repo and writing the code myself So basically forking? | 16:41:36 |

So basically forking? I made a flake for a Haskell CLI tetris game that wasn’t available in Hackage; yeah, I forked it

| @ulrikstrid:matrix.org | Yepp, I'm willing to do that as well, but if they accept PRs I don't have to keep it up to date with upstream and just test the flake from time to time when I need it | 16:44:05 |

that confused me as well It has confused a lot of people. Maybe we should've gone with a different name 🤷♂️ | 16:44:10 |

| @anarres:catgirl.cloud | We're currently setting up Hydra for our projects. I have a project with a flake.nix and flake.lock checked in a git repository which builds on all required systems. However, Hydra shows me the following error:
error: cannot write modified lock file of flake 'git+ssh://git@<repository>' (use '--no-write-lock-file' to ignore)
I couldn't find anything helpful on the web. Does anyone have any idea? We have another project on the same Hydra that seems to be fine.

 Rick (Mindavi) | Update the lockfile? | 16:07:47 |
| Rick (Mindavi) | It sounds like it mismatches with the flake.nix | 16:08:01 |
| Rick (Mindavi) | What happens if you build it locally? Does it update the file? | 16:08:22 |

It sounds like it mismatches with the flake.nix That was my first impulse as well. nix flake update doesn't give me any difference though. | 16:08:43 |
| @anarres:catgirl.cloud | In reply to @rick:matrix.ciphernetics.nl
What happens if you build it locally? Does it update the file? No, it doesn't change the lock file if run it locally | 16:09:10 |
| Rick (Mindavi) | That's all I can think of. Maybe auth issues, but then the error message is bad :) | 16:10:43 |
| @anarres:catgirl.cloud | If that's the case then it would in deed be a bad message :) I don't think so though. We're updating the server soon, so maybe it's just a fluke that will resolve itself. Thanks for you help | 16:11:47 |

 tilpner | anarres: desperate guess, but can you run nix flake lock? | 16:34:12 |
| tilpner | for a while, the flake resolver needed (needs?) multiple iterations to arrive at a stable state if using lots of follows | 16:34:45 |
