Now that I'm using nixUnstable, I get this when I try to do remote builds with nix-build:
<dhess>
unable to open SSH connection to 'remote-builder@foo': don't know how to open Nix store 'remote-builder@foo'; trying other available machines...
<dhess>
that happens for all remote builders
<dhess>
Everything works fine with the same config with nixStable
<LnL>
hmm, try ssh://remote-builder@foo
<LnL>
but that shouldn't be neccecary
<dhess>
try that where?
<LnL>
--option builders '...'
<LnL>
or the machines file
<dhess>
so for example, replace `hostName = "foo"` with `hostName = "ssh://foo"` in buildMachines?
<dhess>
no it looks like that creates remote-builder@ssh:// in machines.nix
jrolfs_ has joined #nix-darwin
<LnL>
ah, the module doesn't know about the url syntax so you'd have to prepend it on the user
<dhess>
LnL: hey, that worked!
<dhess>
thank you good sir
<dhess>
so ... why is it necessary?
jrolfs has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds]
<LnL>
I'd say that's a bug, you should create an issue
<dhess>
ok
<LnL>
I just know about it because I use --store ssh-ng://foo sometimes

Is it possible that nix-daemon needs to be restarted after the nix->nixUnstable upgrade?
<dhess>
it looks like it was not restarted when I switched to nixUnstable
<LnL>
do you have the darwin service enabled?
<LnL>
darwin-option services.nix-daemon.enable
<dhess>
What is the darwin service? I'm running nix-darwin and it is managing the daemon, if tha's what you mean
<dhess>
yeah it's `true`
<dhess>
When I switched all I did was change `nix.package = pkgs.nixUnstable` in darwin-configuration.nix and then `darwin-rebuild switch`
<LnL>
and with upgrade you mean nix.package right?
<dhess>
yeah
<LnL>
ok that sounds like a bug
<dhess>
ok let me restart nix-daemon manually
<dhess>
how do I do that?
<LnL>
I think you have to unload/load the service plist
<dhess>
ok I've done that but I was wrong. The nix-daemon that was running was nix-2.0pre5950_3a5a241b/bin/nix-daemon
<dhess>
Anyway, I reproduced it after the restart. Something is broken.
