I mean, that's not about flakes, but about lfs yes, there is no way to do this with flakes | 11:31:42 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | how is an input fetched? | 11:31:55 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I want to do src = self; but fetch lfs. | 11:35:19 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | This seems impossible, to me. | 11:35:27 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Am I expected to instead fetch lfs outside of nix, an impurity? | 11:35:47 |
 bryan | I guess I wouldn't be surprised if it's just a missing feature | 12:03:01 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Yeah I think it is | 12:05:45 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | fetchgit can fetch lfs. But you cannot get lfs as part of self in any flake. | 12:06:02 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | and you can of course not pass self into fetchgit. | 12:06:14 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | unless you want fun | 12:06:32 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Like
src = final.pkgs.fetchgit {
url = builtins.unsafeDiscardStringContext "file://${self}.git";
};
Which doesn't even work.

| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | nix-build and nix build seem to produce different results. nix build vs nix-build with getFlake behave differently, the outPath for former doesn't contain .git, but the latter does. | 22:32:11 |

 polykernel | can a flake have inputs of arbitrary types? | 01:27:51 |

"follows" always uses the root flake for dependency resolution, not the parent flake I guess this PR has all the relevant details / fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/4641 | 12:46:35 |

But this work around stops working if things are too nested. We usually use the patched nix version in a devshell to update the lock file. The correctly generated lockfile is then also compatible with a non-patched nix version. | 12:51:19 |

This property of "follows" surely could be exploited in some way to do interesting things... I regard it as a (better) substitute for overlays, as long as overlays is used to instantiate stuff on the same pkgs version. | 12:53:25 |

I wonder what this __dontExport thing does... | 12:58:17 |
