what's the point of that? what usage does it help with?

[pinage404]

When using the nix-on-droid's overlay like in the advanced template

nix-on-droid/templates/advanced/flake.nix

Line 43 in 8bcadce

nix-on-droid.overlays.default

It allows to install the package with a normal pkgs.nix-on-droid instead of inputs.nix-on-droid.packages."${system}".nix-on-droid

[t184256]

but it is installed by default... I don't get it

[pinage404]

it can be usefull if we want to use nix-on-droid on another platform

i'm trying to write a deployment script, i use it

[t184256]

1. why use that imperative tool from another platform; it's meant to be run on the target device
2. in this case, accessing it from an overlay only makes it harder, doesn't it?

[pinage404]

1. my computer is more powerful than my phone, i would like to build on my computer (and check if all is good) instead of pushing, on my phone waiting the long evalution, then see that it fails after a long delay
2. i prefer to add the overlay in one place than writing inputs.nix-on-droid.packages."${system}".nix-on-droid everywhere i need nix-on-droid

[t184256]

sorry, good, but where do you need it at all? how many places is that, what are they?

[pinage404]

i haven't finished my script (the feedback loop is super long) for the moment, i need it in 2 places

If you believe, that is not a good thing, i can close this PR

[t184256]

I don't know, I need to weigh pros and cons of exposing it this way. Once I do that, it'd be hard to remove it back + I'm not sure what's the behaviour of overriding it in an overlay is etc. etc. Not something I can decide on quickly.

FYI @pinage404 if you use flakes you can build on your computer with nix build .#nixOnDroidConfigurations.default.activationPackage --impure

the current WIP (that doesn't work) https://gitlab.com/pinage404/dotfiles/-/blob/c32e3c71a5662228c30faf4e528354efa8d02843/packages/deploy-fairphone_4/default.nix

why --impure is needed ?

Because cross-compiled proot is injected by hash.
