Remove an IFD when importing nixos-appstream-data. #66

Closed korfuri closed 2 months ago

korfuri commented 3 months ago

I recently added a flake for nixos-appstream-data. This allows us to depend on that flake instead of doing an IFD to load its default.nix.

An IFD in nix-software-center is problematic for users who use flakes and have multiple nixos configurations with different architectures. Because of https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/4265 this causes nix flake check to fail for them.

Note that users of nix-software-center that do not rely on the flake will still need an IFD. I'm not aware of a better way (other than upstreaming both in nixpkgs).
