Using git information in your nix expressions will cause rebuilds if you change anything

Regarding the latter, I'm not seeing any recent PRs. Was it this one github.com/nix-communit...

Npins support by Rexcrazy804 · Pull Request #465 · nix-community/lanzaboote

Enables overriding inputs on non flake systems.

This is actually NixOS???

djacu @djacu.bsky.social · 12d

How so? On both parts?

djacu @djacu.bsky.social · 14d

I don't even try any more. The conversation just eventually gravitates towards Nix

Why are there so many artifacts?

Why do you think it's garbage?

djacu @djacu.bsky.social · 26d

Using rustup will create state that nix will not be able to manage.

Cherry picked endorsements of who people like, ideologically agree with, or are technically capable.

Neither pick candidates based on leadership qualities

These cakes with logos on them keep finding me. First it was NixOS. Now it's Haskell.

djacu @djacu.bsky.social · Sep 28

Ok thanks for sharing. I am still having trouble groking your exact scenario but I think it's enough for me to speak to.

With Nix, when building software, dependencies are tightly controlled for reproducibility reasons.

For running software, it matters less so.

djacu @djacu.bsky.social · Sep 28

Yes

Hmmm it's hard to understand without an example. But Nix and NixOS heavily rely on using symlinks--specifically because it puts artifacts in an immutable store and looks to them at the FHS level.

Oh wait is the GitHub repo the example your talking about?
