 edrex | oh the fix i'm trying to get is actually a patch to stdenv | 18:55:37 |
| edrex | installing a different stdenv seems like it would require rebuilding the world. hmm | 18:56:37 |

 colemickens 🏳️🌈 | well, I called it with the registry | 05:17:30 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | but I guess I'm not enterprise enough, some people seem really into it | 05:18:05 |

but I guess I'm not enterprise enough, some people seem really into it I feel called out :D | 05:18:21 |
| balsoft | I feel it's really convinient for managing a lot of repositories with overlapping dependencies, though | 05:19:01 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | I don't understand what you can do with it that you can't do with "..follows" other than specifically introduce machine or other-place indirection. Or why that property is helpful other than confusion the confusion shown earlier. | 06:51:00 |
 cdepillabout | When I run nix develop in my repo with a flake.nix, I get some sort of warning message related to git:
$ nix develop
hint: Using 'master' as the name for the initial branch. This default branch name
hint: is subject to change. To configure the initial branch name to use in all
hint: of your new repositories, which will suppress this warning, call:
hint:
hint: git config --global init.defaultBranch <name>
hint:
hint: Names commonly chosen instead of 'master' are 'main', 'trunk' and
hint: 'development'. The just-created branch can be renamed via this command:
hint:
hint: git branch -m <name>
Any idea why I would be getting this message when running nix develop?
Strangely enough, if I immediately exit out of the shell and run nix develop again, I don't get the message again.
I guess it is possible that this is caused by calling git in my shell's PROMPT_COMMAND, but it doesn't seem likely since i don't see this message when changing directories.

 Florian | W3F | nix now fetches submodules by default for flakes and I was wondering what would be the best way to expose all submodules for isolated use in the flake? My use case would be that in some cases, I just want my flake output on submodules, so I do not end up rebuilding them for all repo changes. | 09:01:50 |

| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | I want to have packages in my flake.nix, and make them easily available as an overlay without repeating myself. The easiest way to do that is to expose the overlay and then a function that returns and overlaid nixpkgs, and then returning your packages from that set | 02:23:47 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | but how do you know the names of the packages to return in the packages attribute without duplicating? I guess I could instansiate the overlay with fake nixpkgs and then see what attrNames | 02:24:34 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | * but how do you know the names of the packages to return in the packages attribute without duplicating? I guess I could instansiate the overlay with fake nixpkgs and then see what the attrNames and filter on those. sounds tedious. | 02:24:45 |
 mvnetbiz | You you just call the overlay function with fake parameters and then use attrNames on that? It won't need to evaluate the attr values so it won't error right? | 04:55:43 |
| mvnetbiz | Like attrNames (myOverlay null null). Not sure if that would work. Also it would be more complicated if you have package sets | 04:57:03 |
