The online flake registry [https://channels.nixos.org/flake-registry.json](https://channels.nixos.org/flake-registry.json) is not pinned in any way,
|
||
|
|
and the targets of the indirections can both update or change entirely at any
|
||
|
|
point. Furthermore, it is refetched on every use of a flake reference, even if
|
||
|
|
there is a local flake reference, and even if you are offline (which breaks).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For now, we deprecate the (any) online flake registry, and vendor a copy of the
|
||
|
|
current online flake registry. This makes it work offline, and ensures that
|
||
|
|
it won't change in the future.
