Re: [Nix-dev] [Help] Accidentally removed configuration.nix

This is pure genious ! Simple and yet powerful. Thanks for sharing :-). It can be customized with filterSource and such if you want more control. However, it does not track modifications to nixpkgs. I have a bad habit of building NixOS from dirty nixpkgs repos to test my various fixes. Any

I've been putting     environment.etc = {         nixos-orig.source = ./.;     }; into my configuration.nix and for my still fairly trivial but at least somewhat moduralized config it seems to work out all right. On Thu, 2017-04-06 at 18:12 +0200, Guillaume Maudoux (Layus) wrote: > Hi, > >

This issue is likely to trip most newcomers. Maybe nixos-install should create a git repo in /etc/nixos by default. And then "nixos build" automatically commit on invocation. On Mon, 10 Apr 2017, 04:41 Ryan Trinkle, wrote: > Jeaye, > > I totally agree! One really

Re: [Nix-dev] [Help] Accidentally removed configuration.nix

Jeaye, I totally agree! One really interesting approach to this that I've seen is the 'pass' password manager, which can automatically handle the use of git for passwords. I wonder if it would be feasible to do this for nixos as well, so that beginners (who might not be familiar with git) would

Yes, it's a fantastic idea that, like too many others, has a working implementation bitrotting in a PR. But I have an idea to end this ;-). Coming soon :-D. G. On 06/04/17 20:54, Ryan Trinkle wrote: Layus, That does sound fantastic! Do you think that PR has a reasonable chance of landing

Re: [Nix-dev] [Help] Accidentally removed configuration.nix

Hi, system.copySystemConfiguration is far from perfect. As soon as you modularize your config, you will miss all the other files. If you want a correct system.copySystemConfiguration, you really need https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/709. It allows you to snapshot all the sources of a nix

Hi Vince, I do happen to know why it's set to false by default! I sent a PR to change it to true a while back, and got some good explanations for why that's a bad idea here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/16922 However, I'm now wondering if it might make sense to add

Re: [Nix-dev] [Help] Accidentally removed configuration.nix

No I don't have `system.copySystemConfiguration=true` set :-( Luckily I documented my recent efforts in some gists. I managed to install NixOS on ZFS here: https://gist.github.com/awesomefireduck/c763e168a62a0ef559a1fb9473261459 And my (yet untested) attempt at PCI passthrough here:
