# Changing branching policy #
|
|
From now on `master` serves as a development branch (previously `staging` was used for such purposes). Please use tags for stable releases of flake-utils-plus.
|
|
In general, with the improvements in test harness, releases might happen more frequently. Sticking with a tagged release might offer better trade-offs going forward.
|
|
|
|
Please note, while 1.2.0 retains backwards compatibility, [1.3.0](https://github.com/gytis-ivaskevicius/flake-utils-plus/releases/tag/v1.3.0) is the same version with all backwards compatibility removed.

# What is this flake? #
|
|
|
|
Flake-utils-plus exposes a library abstraction to *painlessly* generate NixOS flake configurations.
|
|
|
|
The biggest design goal is to keep down the fluff. The library is meant to be easy to understand and use. It aims to be far simpler than frameworks such as DevOS (previously called nixflk).

# Features of the flake #
|
|
|
|
Main flake-utils-plus features (Attributes visible from `flake.nix`):
|
|
- Extends [flake-utils](https://github.com/numtide/flake-utils). Everything exported by fu can be used from this flake.
|
|
- `lib.mkFlake { ... }` - Clean and pleasant to use flakes abstraction.
|
|
- Option [`nix.generateRegistryFromInputs`](./lib/options.nix) - Generates `nix.registry` from flake inputs.
|
|
- Option [`nix.generateNixPathFromInputs`](./lib/options.nix) - Generate `nix.nixPath` from available inputs.
|
|
- Option [`nix.linkInputs`](./lib/options.nix) - Symlink inputs to /etc/nix/inputs.
|
|
- Simple and clean support for multiple `nixpkgs` references.
|
|
- `nixpkgs` references patching.
|
|
- `channelsConfig` - Config applied to all `nixpkgs` references.
|
|
- `hostDefaults` - Default configuration shared between host definitions.
|
|
- `outputsBuilder` - Clean way to export packages/apps/etc.
|
|
- `sharedOverlays` - Overlays applied on all imported channels.
|
|
- [`lib.exportModules [ ./a.nix ./b.nix ]`](./lib/exportModules.nix) - Generates module attribute which look like this `{ a = import ./a.nix; b = import ./b.nix; }`.
|
|
- [`lib.exportOverlays channels`](./lib/exportOverlays.nix) - Exports all overlays from channels as an appropriately namespaced attribute set. Users can instantiate with their nixpkgs version.
|
|
- [`lib.exportPackages self.overlays channels`](./lib/exportPackages.nix) - Similar to the overlay generator, but outputs them as packages for the platforms defined in `meta.platforms`. Unlike overlays, these packages are consistent across flakes allowing them to be cached.
|
|
- [`pkgs.fup-repl`](./lib/overlay.nix) - A package that adds a kick-ass repl. Usage:
|
|
- `$ repl` - Loads your system repl into scope as well as `pkgs` and `lib` from `nixpkgs` input.
|
|
- `$ repl /path/to/flake.nix` - Same as above but loads the specified flake.
