ShalokShalom | * nil reports this (in Kate) while Lix is actually fine with it. | 10:39:28 |
ToxicFrog | I'm pretty sure that's a linter message, i.e. "this won't break, it's just bad form" | 10:39:34 |
ShalokShalom | and whats the correct form? | 10:40:20 |
ShalokShalom | I got it from a webpage 🙂 | 10:40:28 |
Lily Foster | only putting with pkgs; if you use attributes from pkgs in the with context? nothing from pkgs is used in that with pkgs; context | 10:41:02 |
ToxicFrog | Th with pkgs; isn't doing anything in that expression because you aren't using anything from inside pkgs | 10:41:04 |
ShalokShalom | ah, ok thanks 🙂 | 10:41:27 |
ToxicFrog | Like, where you'd usually expect to see it is so that you can write something like:
systemPackages = with pkgs; [ uzdoom doomrunner ]; rather than systemPackages = [ pkgs.uzdoom pkgs.doomrunner ]; | 10:41:40 |
ToxicFrog | But in this case you can just drop the with clause entirely. | 10:42:31 |

| CRYSTL ⬡ joined the room. | 03:22:00 |
CRYSTL ⬡ | hiii was wondering if it was possible to use lfs in flake urls ? | 03:23:15 |
CRYSTL ⬡ | got the : error: unsupported input attribute 'lfs' for the 'git' scheme | 03:23:35 |
Liyua | In reply to @crystallinefire:chat.solarpunk.moe got the : error: unsupported input attribute 'lfs' for the 'git' scheme You can use an input that links to the branch archive instead of the repo directly | 07:51:39 |
Liyua | Check the examples here: https://nixos-and-flakes.thiscute.world/other-usage-of-flakes/inputs | 07:51:59 |
Guilherme Espada | After upgrading I'm getting selinux issues - is this a known issue? | 16:07:54 |
Guilherme Espada | (fedora) | 16:08:08 |
Guilherme Espada | (restorecon+reboot fixes it, ftr) | 16:10:49 |
Guilherme Espada | * ~(restorecon+reboot fixes it, ftr)~ nevermind, only until I run nix again | 16:12:27 |
TheFuzzball | Incredible. I joined this room to ask the exact question. I want to turn LFS off though (lfs=0), and I'm getting the same error. | 17:03:37 |
TheFuzzball | git+https://forge.my.tld/hartlandia/zmq-detect?ref=main&lfs=0 looks like it matches the codeberg example ("git+https://codeberg.org/solver-orgz/treedome?ref=master&lfs=1"), but I get the same error. | 17:09:48 |
TheFuzzball | That's with Lix 2.95.1 | 17:10:00 |
kip93 | Hello, the guy who wrote a good chunk of the lfs support in nix here!
Nix added proper support for lfs in 2.27, long after the 2.18 branch off of lix.
I have an open gerrit change request to add lfs support to lix too but for now flakes and libfetchers are considered frozen and new features are not accepted, so it sits there unmerged (and probably requires a rebase by now)
| 17:11:15 |
TheFuzzball | Ah, thanks for taking the time. I'll follow the gerrit | 17:13:26 |

CRYSTL ⬡ | oh great to know thanks | 00:12:46 |
alina arielle amelie🏳️⚧️🐾 | can someone give me a hint of where to find the code for the recursing/tree traversing behavior that happens when building a derivation in nix? and if there is any stable project implementing this in rust yet, tvix seems unfinished | 09:33:51 |

alina arielle amelie🏳️⚧️🐾 | oh i think it might be lix/subprojects/nix-eval-jobs/src/worker.cc | 09:36:51 |
delroth | I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for, but that nix-eval-jobs folder is an optional part of Lix exposed as a separate program, so I suspect it's not what you want :) | 09:42:46 |
Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | In reply to @alina:catgirl.cloud can someone give me a hint of where to find the code for the recursing/tree traversing behavior that happens when building a derivation in lix? and if there is any stable project implementing this in rust yet, tvix seems unfinished Think you are looking for getDerivations? At least that’s what handles recurseForDerivations - I assume that’s what you mean by “tree traversing”? | 10:16:26 |
