Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
This project inherently has a lot of complexity, especially in its flake.nix
file to allow for easy development of the project. However, most of this is unneeded when a user wants to depend upon the system-manager
flake for the system modules provided in this project.
Describe the solution you'd like
Create a separate system-manager-modules
repository including only the absolute minimum inputs to allow reuse, preferably only a nixpkgs
import. This could also be a good time to find a default.nix
standard to import system manager modules as well.
This would also likely require the upstream packaging of system-manager into nixpkgs
, such that pkgs.system-manager
can be used over building the project from here. This also gives a free CDN of built binaries.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternative would be to remove all the dependencies from this projects flake.nix
file to allow for lighter imports. This can also be a good approach, but would require to use more nixpkgs
idioms instead of numtide
idioms.
Additional context
I am including this project in my own flake.nix file and get over a terminal's worth of output of added inputs I will not be using but still have to version lock and update in my own projects. Which is quite annoying.
