Is there a way to update only a specific input in a flake lock file? nix flake lock --update-input ... | 12:26:42 |
 edrex | something seems hosed with my local nix store, I think related to switching from 2.3 to 2.4pre (i should have switched immediately).

| edrex | ok i think my mistake is I installed nixUnstable to my normal user profile and it didn't update the daemon? but now I'm getting a weird error trying to update the daemon: https://clbin.com/CDYla | 18:09:55 |
| edrex | i'm guessing my issues may have stemmed from using the 3.0pre installer linked at https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes#Non-NixOS
| 18:45:14 |
| edrex | Wiped everything and did a simple single user install. | 18:45:32 |
| edrex | Unrelated question: without lots of overhead managing binary caches on both flake producer and consumer side, moving towards a lot more 3rd-party flakes is going to involve a lot more compiling. Is there any work in the community (or core) on making cache management somehow easier for third party flakes? | 18:48:53 |
| edrex | I guess a central build cache for 3rd party flakes is bad since it would allow unverified code in | 18:52:07 |
| edrex | is there something in the flake spec that allows the flake author to specify a cache? | 18:52:08 |
 tomberek | Yes. It’s a lot to go over. But yes, there are mechanisms to address this. | 21:27:46 |

is there something in the flake spec that allows the flake author to specify a cache? https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/4189 ? | 05:13:09 |
| bew | There's also https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/3824 | 05:38:56 |
| bew | Which adds the loading of a local nix.conf file | 05:39:22 |

https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/4189 ? that was merged to master in Nov, awesome! | 19:16:11 |
| edrex | is there a doc describing the Nix branching strategy somewhere? (wondering how commits to master make it to a release) | 19:16:47 |
