I look forward to setting that and watching everything build from scratch :)
<LnL>
that does't change drvs
<dhess>
oh really?
<dhess>
so it's just for security?
<dhess>
I would have thought on macOS it prevents impurities from leaking in
<dhess>
I guess that's what the extra paths are for
<LnL>
it does help prevent references to /bin and as well as eg. homebrew
<dhess>
Hey thanks for figuring out that if you call apfs.util -B you don't have to reboot after adding nix to /etc/synthetic.conf!
<dhess>
I dunno how you figured that out but it's awesome :)
<dhess>
I ended up writing a script around the 2.3.2 installer to create the Nix volume, do all the synthetic.conf/fstab/etc stuff. I wanted something that would install nix-darwin as well, remove all the default channels, etc. so I just decided to do it all in one wrapper around the 2 installers.
<dhess>
It would be great if the nix installer and the nix-darwin installer had a way to assume default responses to questions. Then you'd only need to type your sudo password once and away it goes.
<LnL>
some manpage hunting I think :)
<dhess>
I tried to use Perl's Expect module but god, that's an awful API
<LnL>
yes | darwin-installer
<dhess>
LnL: well it was so useful
<dhess>
LnL: hmm I *think* I'm always replying yes, but I'll need to review
<dhess>
I don't always reply yes to the nix installer but that might just be when it asks if I want more detail.
<dhess>
it's a good thought though, I'll try it
<LnL>
yeah, I was really sad that it apfs.util was kind of broken in the first beta I tried
<LnL>
but when the gm was out it also fixed that
<dhess>
LnL: oh yeah, darwin-installer asks if you want to modify the config, won't piping yes to it cause that to jump into an editor?
<LnL>
the editor only opens with a pty IIRC
<dhess>
ok
