README.md

vendor/flake-compat

Flake-parts uses flake-compat in the partitions module.

Revision: f387cd2afec9419c8ee37694406ca490c3f34ee5

Non-essential files were omitted: flake.nix, CI configuration.

Why vendor?

Vendoring is generally not recommended, but for flake-parts we make a different trade-off.

  • Dependency is tiny
  • Fetching latency is significant compared to size
  • Cost gets multiplied by the high number of users/callers and flake-parts occurrences (when follows isn't used)
  • Some users care about the size of their lock file
  • Nix has some overhead for each lock node when updating a lock file
  • Hard to provide input in the Nix sandbox (for those who have evaluation tests in derivations)
  • Most users are unaffected (only impacts users of partitions)
