Hi there, I am configuring my NixOS via a local flake repository where I have nixpkgs and nixpkgs-unstable as an input. Is there a possibility to get a list or maybe some kind of report of updated packages after updating the flake.lock and rebuilding the system?
Something like this:
—nixpkgs—
git 2.35.0 → 2.36.0
You can diff two closures with nix store diff-closures or nvd diff:
$ begin
set -l profiles (fd -t l --exact-depth=1 'system.*link' /nix/var/nix/profiles/)
nvd diff $profiles[-2] $profiles[-1]
end
<<< /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-2373-link
>>> /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-2374-link
