the Nix upgrade script issue: Day Three

Wednesday Thursday Friday

We actually made a lot of progress last night, thanks to Nixpert and ghost!admin.

Working:

  • nix develop
  • update.sh
colmena does not apply

Starts, but fails:

  • colmena apply

I'm now trying to figure out where this thing might be defined -- or is supposed to be defined, but isn't -- that is resulting in the "Error: hash mismatch, expected undefined, got 5f1715e506e71860b4b07c50060ea6462217611e" message.

Running nix log /nix/store/k0q66yrcfzsq3llgr13m928xqiqkgcm8-offline.drv, as it suggests, just gives me a ">" prompt (and would presumably show those last 10 lines again, plus whatever came before -- but everything was working until the last 5 lines, so I don't know what I might get from that... unless it names the file it's looking at which has the missing definition...?).

Post-hoc update: We did finally get it working. Now we just need to tweak some things...
