Quick question, how do tell home-manager to pick packages from either 19.09 or nixpkgs-unstable? I added the master channel and installed home-manager from there but it seems to install packages from 19.09, so I am a little confused, but I might be missing something here.
<Dandellion[m]>
what is your main nixpkgs channel?
<Dandellion[m]>
it will install things from that
<Dandellion[m]>
if you want to use other packages you have to import the channel somewhere in your config

Oh I think I know what I did wrong here. I only follow nixpkgs-unstable for my user, but my system is 19.09. I guess I didn't specify unstable when I installed home-manager but used the system default of 19.09
<leex>
can I just uninstall home-manager and install it form unstable and it should work?

Does home-manager have a way of getting meta information about what it follows? --help doesn't give me a good idea of how to get that information
<Dandellion[m]>
from where you install home-manage doesn't matter
<Dandellion[m]>
it matters insofar as it needs to be the same as your nixpkgs
<Dandellion[m]>
modules and whatever probably need to be synced
<leex>
So what is the correct way of setting it up if my NixOS follows 19.09 but I would like my user env to follow nixpkgs-unstable https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable ?
