Full local template example not (no longer) working

[f0rdprefect]

Wonderful template and really easy to use by provided nix run example. However the full local example does not work.

Do

nix flake new --template github:drupol/latex-letter#default ./my-new-document
cd my-new-document/
nix build .#letter-scrlttr2

Get

warning: creating lock file '/home/matt/src/my-new-document/flake.lock'

Expect

Same pdf result as when using the nix run example command

Thanks for reporting this!

I've switched to Typst and I haven't used LaTeX since quite a while but I will try to check what's going on soon.

[drupol]

Can you try again?

[f0rdprefect]

Unfortunately no.

Something is really strange now.

it starts with

copying `/nix/store`

and after really a long time (20 minutes or so)

error:
       … while updating the lock file of flake 'path:/home/matt/src/my-new-document?lastModified=1726231063&narHash=sha256-RgEwp8CsgCwkOatzPG%2B6%2B1q7j1QEunGMOYnjRnPf7Y4%3D'

       … while updating the flake input 'latex-letter'

       error: getting status of '/nix/store/hf4xm7h1dghm3r2ry392biadcg9qsqy0-source/flake.nix': No such file or directory

[drupol]

Can you try again, I just fixed the issue.

[f0rdprefect]

Tried again. Works. Thanks alot!

-- But --

It takes quite long, even when running it the second time to evaluate. Then I wanted to compare it to the nix run example so I did a

nix run github:drupol/latex-letter#letter-scrlttr2 -- --output=letter.pdf --from=markdown letter.md

and got

error: flake 'github:drupol/latex-letter' does not provide attribute 'apps.x86_64-linux.letter-scrlttr2', 'packages.x86_64-linux.letter-scrlttr2', 'legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.letter-scrlttr2' or 'letter-scrlttr2'

sorry...

[drupol]

Indeed you're right, I forgot that... going to fix this now.
