 22:20 <leotaku> ottidmes: I actually like having all of my configuration in one place (configuration.nix) instead of also using other files (eg. ~/.config/nixpkgs/home.nix) for this I use the currently WIP home-manager NixOS module. Would you be interested in looking at something that utilizes this approch?
 22:20 <phdoerfler> infinisil: ok thanks. With that, my limited nix-fu and by using this: https://www.reddit.com/r/NixOS/comments/4gj8bc/how_to_writing_a_systemd_service/ I should have everything I need hopefully?
 22:21 <infinisil> phdoerfler: the available options: https://nixos.org/nixos/options.html#systemd.services and what most of them mean can be found in `man systemd.unit` (the PartOf, After, ... stuff)
 22:21 <phdoerfler> infinisil: sweet! Thank you! I shall not that down
 22:22 <infinisil> and if you prefer man pages, all nixos options are in `man configuration.nix`
 22:22 <phdoerfler> oh I had no idea
 22:22 <phdoerfler> I don't know if you realize but you answer like 70% of all my questions here
 22:23 <phdoerfler> so kudos to you :)
 22:23 <gchristensen> !m infinisil
 22:23 <[0__0]> You're doing good work, infinisil!
 22:23 <infinisil> haha :)
 22:23 <phdoerfler> and gchristensen answers another 20% or something like that
 22:24 <phdoerfler> :p
 22:25 <ottidmes> leotaku: What does that implicate, does it mean that I would have to do nixos-rebuild to change my home settings?
 22:27 <ottidmes> infinisil: "Most user-level stuff is not here, as I’m in the process of splitting it in its own repository." Why the split? I have no user stuff yet, but I was planning on keeping it together with my other config stuff, so I would be interested in your reasoning why you would like to separate them
 22:27 <infinisil> ottidmes: oh, good call, that readme is really old
 22:28 <infinisil> meanwhile i put it all together
 22:29 <freeman42x> Sorry, going to have lots of questions :) How can we tell the build proess to use zip for downloading the src? I am getting `do not know how to unpack source archive https://vorboss.dl.sourceforge.net/project/anttweakbar/AntTweakBar_116.zip`
 22:29 <infinisil> freeman42x: fetchzi
 22:29 <infinisil> p
 22:30 <ottidmes> ah ok, I am likely to do this as well, just combine them together, but I do separate my configs on machine level, e.g. my server config does not need to know all the stuff of my desktop
 22:30 --> leotaku (~leo@213-225-11-243.nat.highway.a1.net) has joined #nixos
 22:31 <clever> freeman42x: or, just add unzip to the buildInputs
 22:31 <clever> freeman42x: that lets fetchurl and stdenv unpack it
 22:31 <freeman42x> infinisil: got an example for that, can't figure it out
 22:31 <clever> freeman42x: try sticking to fetchurl, and just add unzip to the buildInputs of the derivation using it
 22:32 <infinisil> ottidmes: i'm using the modules folder for that: modules provide some functionality, and each machine imports the ones it needs
 22:32 <freeman42x> this is what I currently have: https://paste2.org/w7vFws4z
 22:32 <phdoerfler> I got another question: How do I set the mail address the cron daemon should send its complaints to? I tried this: https://github.com/NixOS/nixos/blob/master/modules/services/scheduling/cron.nix#L56 but then nixos complained security.setuidOwners was deprecated and I should use security.wrappers instead. But it won't tell me how :p
 22:33 <phdoerfler> ok I phrased that question badly
 22:33 <clever> freeman42x: oh, thats not even a fetchurl
 22:33 <infinisil> ottidmes: and there's profiles for e.g. a desktop, or a server, which bundles more stuff and modules together
 22:33 <phdoerfler> I know how I set the mail, but how do I make it work?
 22:33 <freeman42x> I'm also streaming this, if it helps with helping :) https://www.twitch.tv/freeman42x
 22:33 <clever> freeman42x: start with this: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/bd8cd3eaed7f2d8da1af1eed62f2ea2966ed3e29/pkgs/applications/misc/hello/default.nix#L6-L9
 22:33 <leotaku> oops, I apparently got disconected for some time, I hope I did not miss anything
