So, if I maintain a set of changes to nixos and nixpkgs in /etc/nixos I have to build and activate nixos manually, rather than with nixos-rebuild? It would be fancy if Hydra could tag a git repository with the correct combination of nixos and nixpkgs submodules for each succesful NixOS build. Then I could rebase my repos and take advantage of the hydra builds. / Rickard _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
