There was a conversation in IRC. A user wanted to build their system in CI, using nixos-rebuild
. I know that it’s not a regular package, nor part of pkgs.nix
, but instead part of a built nixos system.
It can be reached like this: nix-shell -p "(nixos{}).nixos-rebuild"
But why? Why is it not in its own package? It seems specifically by design that it’s only available as part of a full nixos system evaluation?
Thanks!
