Cool, might have to do some experimenting.

Re: [Nix-dev] Using system.autoUpgrade with a git channel
Thanks that's helpful. In other words if I'm using a checked out git repository I'm no longer able to use 'system.autoUpgrade'. -- John Ramsden On Thu, Jul 6, 2017, at 10:56 PM, Vladimír Čunát wrote: > On 07/07/2017 01:46 AM, John Ramsden via nix-dev wrote: > > I was also wondering what exactly the 'nixos-rebuild switch' command's > > '--upgrade' flag does. > > It does > $ nix-channel --update nixos > Best see the source if you want details, as it's relatively simple: > https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/installer/tools/nixos-rebuild.sh#L197 > > --Vladimir ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl https://mailman.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev

[Nix-dev] Using system.autoUpgrade with a git channel
I'm currently using a checked out version of the channels repository as my channel. I was previously using the integrated channel and using 'system.autoUpgrade.enable = true'. I assume I can no longer use this service for upgrades while I'm using git. Is there any way to run auto upgrades while using a checked out git repository? I was also wondering what exactly the 'nixos-rebuild switch' command's '--upgrade' flag does. I was unable to tell from the module, and the man page just says: --upgrade Fetch the latest version of NixOS from the NixOS channel. Does this means the command just pulls new additions to the nix channel that is selected? Seeing as the NixOS channel is just a git repository, is there a way I can configure the auto upgrades to work with my checked out git repository? All I've done is cherrypicked a few commits and added them to the 17.03 channel locally. -- John Ramsden ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl https://mailman.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
