New flake example:
- Provide initial flake plus README by lucperkins · Pull Request #1 · nix-dot-dev/nix-flake-example · GitHub
- Let’s use
eachDefaultSystembut provide links and document which systems are included - Mention
nix flake updatein the README to make pinning more clear - Remove
nix develop <flake>method of using the flake env - Should we explicitly mention supported systems? Or should system support magically fade into the background?
- Link to the section in the Nix manual and then fix that section in the Nix manual!
-
nix.conf - Nix Reference Manual
- What’s missing?
- How the system string comes into being
- Make sure to distinguish Nix vs. Nixpkgs. Nixpkgs has system strings it “cares about” but there could be many others.
- Nix manual vs. Nixpkgs manual?
- Keep the

-
