Note

This is still during development. 0.1.0 hasn't even rolled out yet.

Weepin

A robust declarative (hjson)/interactive (weepin add) nix pinning system akin to niv/npins.

Important

No code is written yet. Look at functional spec

Will it be possible to make weepin able to lazily load flakes? Make a weepin-loader.

TODO:

• Finish functional spec and technical spec first draft
• Consider weepin issue
• weepin version which lists the weepin version with embedded loader and lockfile version
• Move the generated structure of weepin to functional
• Change weepin.json5 name to more generic name - manifest
• Think about channels generated structure
• Talk with nobbz about why he strongly believes inputs for nix only
• Refine the name inference spec
• Decide between hjson and nix, make a draft, ask people
• Add a definition for the weepin/ folder
• Redesign syntax. : can be used for resolvables and it would already constitute a pinned version!
• Get rid of resolvable template tags, they are added complexity for no reason at all, and not very practical
• Add magic template tags, that is weepin add 'https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.4.3/ghc-8.4.3-i386-deb8-linux.tar.xz' -t version 8.4.3 should automatically make it a tag with <version>
• Create hjson2nix
• (During impl) List differences and similarities between niv and npins (in terms of interface as well!!!) Go back to my message on ghostty discord and list these in functional.md
• Add CONTRIBUTING.md with my conventions (for example not using pragma once)
• Impl that shit:
  • ?
• Create a lua lib/module/stuff?
• Add nix shell and default for Nix2

Planned features:

• Implement rate limit protection
• Progress (see zig and rust bob)
