Added --path-to-built-config option to nixos-rebuild.sh to allow for building the system config manually, and then switching to it.
Motivation for this change
I wanted to experiment with using
nix build
to build my system image, but did not have a way to pass in the built system tonixos-rebuild
without it redoing the work of the build.Things done
Added
--path-to-built-config
option to nixos-rebuild.sh. Does not build the system image when executing eitherboot
orswitch
, instead uses the supplied path.sandbox
innix.conf
on non-NixOS linux)nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
./result/bin/
)nix path-info -S
before and after)
