Mike :nixos:Ok <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#NixOS</a> people who love <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/flakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#flakes</a> .. can I put my flake.nix in a non standard location? I have a git repo I have all my nix modules in. ``` [mkelly@garage:~/Projects/nix]$ ls cheatsheet cinnamon common flake.nix gnome hacks helix hyprland kde nvim sway wallpapers[mkelly@garage:~/Projects/nix]$ sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ~/Projects/nix error: path '/nix/store/h6j33x98r8v6pzvb09yxbsxj6jiiargz-source/flake.nix' does not exist ```

Robert Hensing<a href="https://hachyderm.io/@jakehamilton" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jakehamilton</a> This is part of why it's still experimental. Some of the bad decisions are not feasible to support indefinitely.A clear benefit of doing more in "user space" is that you get to change your mind about how composition and extension work, without a backcompat nightmare or losing compatibility (and making reproducibility moot).We're making good progress on fetching, although we did underestimate it at first. 2.27 will have Git LFS and proper submodules support. Also a bit of locking: 2.26 had a significant fix for relative path flakes (in-repo flake inputs). More locking, as well as composability and extension/configurability will come.<a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/Nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nix</a> <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/Flakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Flakes</a>

Andrew TropinI would like to have something similar to <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#nix</a>' <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/flakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#flakes</a> and overlays. This way you can have two revisions of guix living along, one for operating-systems of deployments and one for development/application environment, which can be later added to operating system as well.Guix'es versions will be controlled/locked with one explicit well-defined mechanism. You get fully-compatible packages instead of hacky inferior-package.Unfortunately, not possible without human-years of [re-]work of guix.

BB :verified_cool:Why am I just finding out about nosys? <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NixOS</a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/Flakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Flakes</a> have such a problem in handling system dependent outputs (particular in relation to system-independent outputs) and this seems like such an obvious way to handle the problem: Simply treat system string as *inputs* and then have a simple escape hatch from system dependent to independent (nosys does this with underscore prefixed attribute names on the output attrset being system independent, which is unbelievably convenient, if not particularly ergonomic)So far, a very good library that makes it easy to handle the hard parts without too much vendor buy in.

musicmatze :rust: :nixos:Just my 2ct, but why can't I specify a tag in a <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nix</a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/flakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flakes</a> input?Not like in the URL tho (in my flake.nix) but rather in the lockfile? So that I can update the git dependency via `nix flake update`? Not that I want it to update automatically, but I would like to see something like``` $ nix flake update # Warning: Not updating github:foo/bar from 1.0.0, available versions: 1.0.0, 1.1.0, 2.0.0 ```And then I would`nix flake update github:foo/bar --version 2.0.0` or something like this.Having tags in my flake.nix is tedious, because I have to think about updating it.

Daniel HillerDo you remember my talk at FOSDEM about flaky tests last year? 🤔 I’ll be talking about zapping your flaky tests with a laser gun tomorrow! Pew-pew… 🔫 No, seriously - I’ll talk about an approach to detect flaky tests with AI. Come visit the Testing and Continuous Delivery DevRoom in UD6.215 on Saturday! My talk starts at 13:15 if you’re interested. “<a href="https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5200-zap-the-flakes-leveraging-ai-to-combat-flaky-tests-with-cannier/”" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5200-zap-the-flakes-leveraging-ai-to-combat-flaky-tests-with-cannier/”</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Flakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Flakes</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/FlakyTests" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FlakyTests</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/SoftwareTesting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SoftwareTesting</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/CI" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CI</a>
