Enable unfree packages unconditionally #10

Closed tadeokondrak closed 2 years ago

tadeokondrak commented 2 years ago

When using pure evaluation, there is no way to enable nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree, making it unable to build packages.

It seems like this is just a limitation of flakes, so enable allowUnfree unconditionally in flake.nix, as this flake only has unfree packages.

...though, as I'm just writing this last message before hitting "Create pull request", I realize I can work around this by using an overlay, so it's not 100% necessary.

Thanks.

I use a nixos module like { nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = true; } myself but it does indeed suck that nix run &co cannot work without --impure and there does not seem to be any other kind of solution to that, so I guess it’s better to just override the setting in this flake.
