Publishing my first Haskell executable

Developing with flox
9

I seeing something weird. But first of all:

  • the new UI is great! Lots more explanations, Yes / No button, I really like it

  • I wonder about the consistency of the “channel repository:” input when doing flox publish. I need to specify a git URL there like git@github.com:etorreborre/floxpkgs.git. On the other hand, if I go flox channels the URL says etorreborre github:etorreborre/floxpkgs/main (which would not work)

  • still on the URL note, but possibly out of flox control, I’m using URL that are like etorreborre:etorreborre/floxpkgs and work:etorreborre/work-repository and in my .ssh/config file I have a mapping so that I can use different keys for different github users. Those URLs will not work with flox publish

Now the problem I’m seeing is:

± flox publish                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      default

HINT: avoid having to answer these questions next time with:

Building cmt ...
error: Package ‘cmt-1.17’ in /nix/store/9m8drnpifyl5qsx93g6ll2xw6wkps03z-source/pkgs/applications/audio/cmt/default.nix:27 is not supported on ‘x86_64-darwin’, refusing to evaluate.

       a) To temporarily allow packages that are unsupported for this system, you can use an environment variable
          for a single invocation of the nix tools.

            $ export NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_SYSTEM=1

        Note: For `nix shell`, `nix build`, `nix develop` or any other Nix 2.4+
        (Flake) command, `--impure` must be passed in order to read this
        environment variable.

       b) For `nixos-rebuild` you can set
         { nixpkgs.config.allowUnsupportedSystem = true; }
       in configuration.nix to override this.

       c) For `nix-env`, `nix-build`, `nix-shell` or any other Nix command you can add
         { allowUnsupportedSystem = true; }
       to ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix.
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)

The weird message is this

Package ‘cmt-1.17’ in /nix/store/9m8drnpifyl5qsx93g6ll2xw6wkps03z-source/pkgs/applications/audio/cmt/default.nix:27

it mentions applications/audio/cmt. That seems like a conflict with this package.

What do you think?
