I don't know how many of you ever encounter the directory named gui in the source tree of NixOS ... So I am pleased to announce the first graphical tool (at least introduced on this mailing list) to watch for NixOS options. http://nbp.name/img/nixos-gui.png
Cool :-)
The current usage of this tool is to explore options, and see the current value, the default value, the example, the description, where the option is declared and where it is defined. It is based on nixos-option tool which fetch the information out of NixOS configurations and output a XML which is then interpreted by nixos-gui to display the option tree. It load options in a lazy fashion otherwise loading all options would take too much time and resources to make it usable.
Wouldn't it actually be faster to load them all at the same time? Now it takes a second or two to click on an option, while evaluating *all* the options and dumping them to XML shouldn't take much longer.
- Make an edit option to modify the content of $NIXOS_CONFIG.
That would be really nice. -- Eelco Dolstra | http://www.st.ewi.tudelft.nl/~dolstra/ _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@cs.uu.nl https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
