From 8458d98b274910e35baceda77f3e573817ed9f41 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Th=C3=A9ophane=20Hufschmitt?= Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2023 19:41:30 +0100 Subject: Rename `nix show-config` to `nix config show` Part of #7672 My main motivation is to be able to use `nix.checkConfig`[1]. This doesn't work with Lix currently since the module uses `nix show-config` if the Nix version is <2.20pre and `nix config show` otherwise. I think this is the only instance where nixpkgs checks for which Nix commands exist that affects us now, so I figured we could just perform the rename here as well[2] and still provide the current version number[3]. I don't have a strong opinion on whether to deprecate `nix show-config`, the warning is added there automatically. (cherry picked from commit f300e11b056dea414d7d77bbc6e5a7dc5d9ddd41) [1] https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/options.html#opt-nix.checkConfig [2] I should add that I don't use the "official" ways of installing Lix because using the flake directly and callPackaging it seemed to fit better into my workflow: I already have a little mess to make sure Hydra from the flake uses the correct pkgs.nix and I didn't want to complicate it further while keeping a single package-set I can build in CI. Don't get me wrong, I think such a module for a quick-start is very important, just giving context on why I bother in the first place :) [3] When we go public, I think it's worth considering to add support in nixpkgs itself for Lix.
