This should be conditional on devenv
taking nix
as argument - it's possible people are still on older nixpkgs versions.
post-build-hook
blocks parallel builds
It's a regression, but not one I'm very sure of how to fix sensibly. Some time after 2.3, Nix closed the soundness hole of allowing references for FOD store paths. This makes sense, as they aren't…
This should be mostly fixed now? Dropping the thread will just detach it; and joining it now behaves as intended.
lix foo
should invoke lix-foo
Some question: How do we want to handle e.g. --store
or other nix-global arguments? Do we pass these as specific environment variables, I guess?
channel:
"file" syntax
yeah; I'm not too fussed since it's nixpkgs-specific; it might be a good first example for #342 (aka a nix-shell
but nixpkgs-specific, including easy channel selection) even.
channel:
"file" syntax
I actually use this personally; mostly in the form of NIX_PATH=nixpkgs=channel:nixos-unstable nix-shell -p foo
for fetching something from nixos-unstable
quickly. I don't strongly mind it…
