Which revision of nixpkgs is used by nixery.dev?

[das-g]

• according to the website (Permalink) it's NixOS 20.09
• according to the commit message of 8cd29e2e9f855793f428f77a958d222d6d14cf8d (the currently last commit touching nixpkgs-pin.nix on master), it's a 2021-10-29 snapshot of nixos-unstable

Which one is right?

Hey!

The website is totally out of date, sorry about that. Things changed a bit when I left Google and moved the service into the infrastructure of TVL instead.

Right now, as per the service configuration for the production deployment we use the nixpkgs commit that TVL's monorepo is pinned to. We update these about once a week (but it happens manually as there's some amount of breakage in parts of the repo as we have a wide variety of languages, tools, etc. in use).

There's no reason why the instance couldn't surface and display this commit somewhere, I'll try to do that at some point soon, but am pretty busy with other stuff at the moment.

Also for completeness sake, the nixpkgs-pin.nix that is checked in is pretty much only used for CI, nothing else.

Ah, cool. Would you welcome pull requests (at least partially) update the website?

[tazjin]

Sure!

We're introducing a change that will dynamically display the deployed commit on nixery.dev: https://cl.tvl.fyi/c/depot/+/5881/
