| | 3 | PIN CHannels - a simple drop-in replacement for `nix-channel --update`. |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | Example usage, being invoked on the example "channels" file included here: |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | $ python3 pinch.py pin channels |
| | 8 | $ python3 pinch.py update channels |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | The first "pin" command will add these fields to the file: |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | [nixos] |
| | 14 | channel_url = https://channels.nixos.org/nixos-20.03 |
| | 15 | git_repo = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git |
| | 16 | git_ref = nixos-20.03 |
| | 17 | +release_name = nixos-20.03beta1155.29eddfc36d7 |
| | 18 | +tarball_url = https://releases.nixos.org/nixos/20.03/nixos-20.03beta1155.29eddfc36d7/nixexprs.tar.xz |
| | 19 | +tarball_sha256 = 9c1d182af2af64e5e8799e256a4a6dc1fed324ba06cb5f76c938dc63b64f0959 |
| | 20 | +git_revision = 29eddfc36d720dcc4822581175217543b387b1e8 |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | [nixos-hardware] |
| | 23 | git_repo = https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware.git |
| | 24 | git_ref = master |
| | 25 | +release_name = nixos-hardware.git-1585241157-edb7199b5c4 |
| | 26 | +git_revision = edb7199b5c4f1db34a7253d4cabf6cf690521a92 |
| | 27 | |
| | 28 | The second "update" command applies these changes to your nix channels, like `nix-channel --update` does. |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | Advantages over nix-channel: |
| | 31 | |
| | 32 | * Deploy the exact same channel content to multiple machines. |
| | 33 | * Store your pin file in revision control for more powerful rollback mechanism than `nix-channel --rollback`. |
| | 34 | * Chanel contents are verified by hash before being installed. |
