This does not add missing release notes, and it doesn't do anything
about the profiles feature we would really like to have so we can have
consistent credit.

|
|
The interface for creating and updating lock files has been overhauled:
|
|
|
|
- [`nix flake lock`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-flake-lock.md) only creates lock files and adds missing inputs now.
|
|
It will *never* update existing inputs.
|
|
|
|
- [`nix flake update`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-flake-update.md) does the same, but *will* update inputs.
|
|
- Passing no arguments will update all inputs of the current flake, just like it already did.
|
|
- Passing input names as arguments will ensure only those are updated. This replaces the functionality of `nix flake lock --update-input`
|
|
- To operate on a flake outside the current directory, you must now pass `--flake path/to/flake`.
|
|
|
|
- The flake-specific flags `--recreate-lock-file` and `--update-input` have been removed from all commands operating on installables.
|
|
They are superceded by `nix flake update`.
