This patch fixes the substitution (e.g.
cache.nixos.org
) on remotes when deploying a flake-basedcolmena
hive, which implies the use of the experimentalnix3 copy
(since 7fac027).I consider this a UX bug in
nix
and itsssh-ng://
itself.I think this is because
ssh-ng://
simply hasn't implemented--substitute-on-destination
yet.--builders-use-substitutes
works, however (NixOS/nix#4180).The old/legacy
ssh://
does not have this issue withnix3 copy
.I'll try to look a bit more into this in the future and will consider submitting a patch in upstream.
But for now, this patch should suffice.
Especially considering it will take quite some time until that patch is available in a new
nix
release and installed on everyone's hosts :^)
