Hi,

last year I experimented with self-managing NixOS installations. One thing that 
I stumbled upon was that regularly triggering nixos-rebuild would create new 
generations even though the config hadn’t changed.

Is there a way to suppress that or a reason why this can’t be suppressed in 
general?

What I want is to create a simple cronjob that generates Nix OS configuration 
from an upstream “source of truth”, like users, and not think about convergence 
but just trigger nixos-rebuild after updating the config. If nothing changed 
then no new generation should appear IMHO.

Thoughts?

Christian
