there is a cachix copied from discord:
For NixOS users add this to your config:
nix.settings.substituters = [ "https://snowflakeos.cachix.org/" ];
nix.settings.trusted-public-keys = [
"snowflakeos.cachix.org-1:gXb32BL86r9bw1kBiw9AJuIkqN49xBvPd1ZW8YlqO70="
];
Ok thank you for the information. I will try it for some time. Maybe then we can add it to the readme.
Hum, this seems to break nixos-conf-editor

Now that I added the cachix, everytime I do a garbage collection and then a rebuild, the sources get downloaded again. At least it is not rebuilding, so it is definitly an improvement. Is there any way to pin the sources in the store, so that they don't get garbage collected?

@Zahrun can you share your full configuration file(s)? Garbage collection will only remove packages that don't have a gc root. If you're installing the package in your NixOS configuration it won't be garbage collected as long as that system generation is active.
The package is not garbage collected, but the source is. My config file is more than 600 lines long, but the relevant part is this:
{ config, pkgs, lib, ... }:
let
nix-software-center = import (pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "vlinkz";
repo = "nix-software-center";
rev = "0.1.2";
sha256 = "xiqF1mP8wFubdsAQ1BmfjzCgOD3YZf7EGWl9i69FTls=";
}) {};
nixos-conf-editor = import (pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "vlinkz";
repo = "nixos-conf-editor";
rev = "9be2ed1183ca1cdf9c3a7a437032f41241d7a3b5";
sha256 = "sha256-QOigD8CaueznOKjjTpz1+lwiOX1o6qPTgZE6GmrCL/o=";
}) {};
in
{
nix.settings.substituters = [ "https://snowflakeos.cachix.org/" ];
nix.settings.trusted-public-keys = [
"snowflakeos.cachix.org-1:gXb32BL86r9bw1kBiw9AJuIkqN49xBvPd1ZW8YlqO70="
];
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
nixos-conf-editor
nix-software-center
];
}
@Zahrun I wonder if setting keep-outputs
in your nix.conf
is the answer?
{
nix.settings.keep-outputs = true;
}

@jakehamilton it does not change the situation. https://discourse.nixos.org/t/pinned-nixpkgs-keeps-getting-garbage-collected/12912 reports a similar situation. I was not able to apply his solution though.
may become irrelevant with #45
When installed in NixOS via
configuration.nix
, if I garbage-collect, and then nixos-rebuild, the software-center gets built again. I may want to try the solution mentioned in https://discourse.nixos.org/t/pinned-nixpkgs-keeps-getting-garbage-collected/12912/6 and if that fixes, I'll PR that.Same goes with nixos-conf-editor.
