it's supposed to be supported, as of a couple weeks ago: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/3978

mars I think the level of alignment between module systems that you are aming for is not really feasible. Think of each module system of jsonschema of some sort of configuration endpoint that you'd like to reach (a data structure).

yeah

some modules in Nix-Darwin, though, are just copied and pasted from NixOS, at least initially

that's the kind of case I had in mind

The gist would be to separate:

• Config database
• Systemd Generation

mhm

but in the meantime it makes sense for devos and digga to support exporting modules for a variety of NixOS-like module systems

this one

https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/78

I also wonder if really different semantics are needed to solve the config attribute provenance issue

the Tweag guys working on Nickle seem to think not, I think they've said they can get that kind of tracing working for NixOS-like module merging

hey I'm trying to get agenix to work in a user profile but I'm not sure how to pass self in the arguments to the profile. I'm imprting it from my host file with imports. What am I missing? This is the error from nixos-rebuild `error: attribute 'self' missing
