@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Noticed that some of the parser errors are cursed and there's a very easy way to fix it: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/1509223:32:55

@ss:someonex.netSomeoneSerge (back on matrix) Does computeFSClosure(basicDrv.inputSrcs) + {drvPath} equal computeFSClosure(basicDrv.inputSrcs+ {drvPath}),
where drvPath is that of basicDrv (I didn't yet check how to compute one from the other)

Does computeFSClosure(basicDrv.inputSrcs) + {drvPath} equal computeFSClosure(basicDrv.inputSrcs+ {drvPath}),
where drvPath is that of basicDrv (I didn't yet check how to compute one from the other)

EDIT: Specifically the edge case I'm interested in, is whether copyClosureTo(..., inputSrcs+{drvPath},...) equivalent to the original copyClosureTo(..., inputSrcs, ...) followed by exportPaths(..., {drvPath}), or does it potentially send more

@faukah:faukah.comfaukah I hit this today in the nixos installer:
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/5017

I've got a nixConfig in my flake.nix to easily set stuff, when it contains the ca-derivations experimental feature it crashes. I suppose this is a weird edge case I hit and a bug?
