Nix Flake MVP

Goals

  • To provide Nix repositories with an easy and standard way to reference other Nix repositories.

  • To allow such references to be queried and updated automatically.

  • To provide a replacement for nix-channel, NIX_PATH and Hydra

Nixpkgs pinning example

Nixpkgs pinning example

This is an example of how to pin the version of nixpkgs in a package repo. The goal is to improve reproducibility, make sure all the developers use the same version of nixpkgs and also allow to share binary caches.

Usage

Put all these files in a nixpkgs folder and then in other derivations, instead of import <nixpkgs> {} use import ./path/to/nixpkgs {}

Keeping nixpkgs up to date

Type Classes and Constraints

Reddit discussion.

Disclaimer 1: Type classes are great but they are not the right tool for every job. Enjoy some balance and balance to your balance.

Disclaimer 2: I should tidy this up but probably won’t.

Disclaimer 3: Yeah called it, better to be realistic.

Type classes are a language of their own, this is an attempt to document features and give a name to them.

PROCESS STATE CODES

Here are the different values that the s, stat and state output specifiers (header "STAT" or "S") will display to describe the state of a process.

CODE Meaning
D Uninterruptible sleep (usually IO)
R Running or runnable (on run queue)
S Interruptible sleep (waiting for an event to complete)
T Stopped, either by a job control signal or because it is being traced.
W paging (not valid since the 2.6.xx kernel)

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.
