@fasterthanlime
I actually use this in my home-manager setup!

But I have absolutely zero idea how I did it. Whenever I set it up on a new system I run some random flake update commands with some random protocols and at some point it starts working?

@fasterthanlime I just do nix flake update relativeFlake if it complains about not being able to fetch it.

@fasterthanlime I'm not a nixer, but there seems to be an open draft concerning this: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/10089

@fasterthanlime builtins.getFlake ./subdir?

@fasterthanlime that's the neat part, you don't!

No but really I just dealt with this in the aux labs repo. There actually isn't a way to refer to a flake in the same repository. Instead I had to import things manually...

@jakehamilton OH WELL. I'll just have to learn "the old ways". I tried to read the linked file several times and still cannot exactly tell what's going on, but maybe more coffee will fix this.

edit: https://jade.fyi/blog/flakes-arent-real/ is great btw
