[BUG] Nix Flake wayland output is still broken about eww HOT 10 CLOSED

This line is breaking it or will break in the future. It changes the nixpkgs input of the flake to be in line with the main one your flake depends on. If you remove it, my fork should work just fine.
This breaks my fork as all it does is change this nixpkgs input, which admittedly is a bit suboptimal as it results in you downloading nixpkgs at least twice but it is the easiest solution for the time being, I'll update the fix to point out that overriding the input is something you shouldn't do.
If you leave it in its current state, it could break once pr 289595 makes it into nixos-unstable and you update your lockfile due to the old flake then calling the eww-wayland output with an argument that no longer exists.

Lemme try, as I just removed it and did not try with it with your recent changes.

Sadly even with your branch I seem to get

eww > Eww compiled without wayland support. falling back to X11, eventhough wayland was requested.
failed to open window `bar`

Caused by:
    Failed to get x11 window for gtk window

Maybe you can consider using https://github.com/nix-community/naersk instead of rust-overlay
For now I reverted to d96586c where the flake still works

It was broken on that commit. @Cloudef Can I get some context from you, especially in regards to how you're importing and using the flake and whether you are changing the nixpkgs input?

I'm currently looking into rewriting the flake as the currently structure is suboptimal and can easily break.
Thank you for the recommendation, I'll consider it, though from a quick glance I'm not sure whether naersk supports rust 1.76.0 which is required and the reason for using the overlay as far as I'm concerned.

My flakes are here:
https://github.com/Cloudef/nixos-flake/blob/master/flake.nix#L4-L26
https://github.com/Cloudef/nixos-flake/blob/master/modules/eww.nix

I realized, that the reason why it broke for me, but earlier commit works for me is that because I also actually override rust overlay there, probably to workaround whatever you have been fixing 😓

@Cloudef You might want to check out my updated temporary fix, I'd appreciate it if you could comment under the pr whether it works for you (hopefully it does ^^')

If you remove it, my fork should work just fine.

Actually I did remove it but it did not work, so that's why I think it might be rust-overlay that eventually breaks it (and that also has nixpkgs follow)

from eww.

How does rust overlay break it and does that apply to the current fix as well?

from eww.

It works even with rust-overlay in inputs and override now as well.

from eww.

Thank you for testing that, if I'm not mistaken it should work as long as the overlay is able to provide rust 1.76.0 since that is what eww needs
