<niso> hi, i noticed that a lot of options named <something>Path are actually Strings, is there a reason for them not being paths? (e.g.: maildir.path = "/tmp/.mail";

<manveru> niso: because if they're a path, they will be put into the /nix/store
<manveru> well, there are ways around that, but it's much easier to make that mistake :)

<knur> Hello there! New home-manager user. I don't really understand how to update all my packages. I did ` nix-channel --update && nixos-rebuild switch` followed buy `home-manager switch`, but I noticed that all packages referenced in my home.nix are still the older versions
<knur> For instance, even though the system has firefox 68.0, the one I get through `home-manager` is still 67.0
<__monty__> knur: Did you update root's channel? Cause your system and home-manager may be using different channels.
<knur> I did `sudo nix-channel --update` if that's what you mean. Also, just found something interesting: `home-manager packages | grep firefox` says `firefox-68.0.1`
<knur> But when I launch firefox it is still pointing to the 67 version :/
<knur> `firefox --version` -> `Mozilla Firefox 67.0.1`

<__monty__> Do you still have a firefox instance open from before the switch?

<knur> No. I have restarted firefox a few times and the problem persists
<knur> Again, I don't get why these report different versions:
<knur> ```
<knur> $ home-manager packages | grep firefoxfirefox-unwrapped-68.0.1firefox-68.0.1$ firefox --versionMozilla Firefox 67.0.1
<knur> $ home-manager packages | grep firefoxfirefox-unwrapped-68.0.1firefox-68.0.1$ firefox --versionMozilla Firefox 67.0.1
<manveru> knur: what does `readlink -f $(which firefox)` say?
<manveru> and also `which firefox` itself
<niso> manveru: thanks!

<__monty__> Is there any reason why adding a buildEnv to home.packages would consistently result in the warning "dumping very large path?"
