Flakes may be a step in the right direction, but I admit I've somewhat halted my journey after finally grokking how to use nix channels and configuration.nix.

Flakes may be a step in the right direction, but I admit I've somewhat halted my journey after finally grokking how to use nix channels and configuration.nix.
I haven't done any packaging or gotten into flakes as a unit of composable configuration. I know flakes are intended to make these things easier, but even the 'specification' for what makes a valid flake seems awfully vague.
- baby 4y agoIt’s super vague. The only way I could find to understand how to create a flake (for https://mimoo.github.io/nixbyexample/ https://mimoo.github.io/nixbyexample/) was trial and error and diving into the nix codebase.
