Flox 1.13.1 is ready for a spin! Check out the new flox run command!

Features

  • flox run -p <PACKAGE> [--] <COMMAND> runs a command directly from a Flox Catalog package without creating an environment, resolving, downloading, and executing it in a single step. Packages not in the binary cache, such as unfree packages, are built from source automatically.
  • flox build import-nixpkgs now accepts --stability <STABILITY> to select the nixpkgs revision used for the import, matching the behavior of flox build.
  • flox containerize now accepts --mode/-m to containerize the dev or run environment directly, without editing the manifest.

Fixes

  • flox build environment conflict errors now include the output names (for example (out)) when two outputs of the same package collide on a file path, making the conflict easier to act on.
  • flox deactivate no longer fails with a missing prompt-hook error when deactivating one of several stacked environments.
