00:20 <lordcirth> I want to have a file defining my standard machine, then have other machines import that and add changes. However, if I just do "hostname = defaults // { stuff; };" then it does a shallow merge and loses a lot of the config. What is the correct way to do this?

00:44 <gchristensen> imports = [ ./files.nix ./to.nix ./import.nix ];

00:58 <lordcirth> Don't I still have to merge, if I do that?

00:58 <lordcirth> I found recursiveUpdate as well, seems to do what I want

00:59 <gchristensen> no

00:59 <gchristensen> you don't need to use recursiveUpdate or to merge at all

01:18 <lordcirth> The import order takes care of it?

01:22 <gchristensen> yes
