Here's what happened:
My `emacs.glinux` derivation relies on gLinux `/usr/bin/emacs`, and Google
recently published version 27, so all corporate machines (i.e. this laptop)
switched from Emacs 26 to Emacs 27 overnight.
However, my Nix derivation was building all of the packages for Emacs 26, so
some packages were compatible while others weren't.
The Elisp package, `emr`, doesn't build for version 27, so I dropped it
altogether.

Instead of manually maintaining the list of directories that I expose to
readTree, I'm using `builtins.readDir` to get a list of all non-hidden top-level
directories.

After a handful of failed attempts to run lint-secrets.sh due to a missing
`git-secrets` executable on my git server, I decided that now was a good time to
use Nix to define my BuildKite pipelines.
TL;DR:
- Delete ci/scripts directory
- Define ci/pipelines/{briefcase,socrates}.nix
Outside of this repository:
- I logged into my admin account at git.wpcarro.dev and changed my Gitea
post-receive hook to trigger the briefcase pipeline
- I logged into my BuildKite account, deleted my build-briefcase pipeline,
created a new briefcase pipeline that called:
```shell
nix-build -A ci.pipelines.briefcase -o briefcase.yaml
buildkite-agent pipeline upload briefcase.yaml
```
One day I will audit all of my ad-hoc, non-mono-repo activity (like the steps I
listed above) and attempt to fit everything herein... one step at a time,
though!

I don't use this anywhere, so it's time to shed more weight.
|
|
For now, I'm supporting two CI pipelines:
- build-socrates
- build-briefcase
Conceptually, build-briefcase should cover what build-socrates does now, but
eventually I would like build-socrates to call `switch-to-configuration` so that
all of my websites, etc. stay fresh.

Right now the 8000 port is hard-coded into the zoo server, which isn't ideal,
but "it works" (TM).
|
|
Use Nix and Briefcase to easily create Haskell executables.
I'd eventually like to support something like: briefcase.buildHaskell.project
that let me define a few top-level values (e.g. ghcExtensions) and would give me
a ghci environment with the proper `.ghci` settings so that my development
environment mirrored my build environment... baby steps, though.

Because revs afa9ca, dc80d7 aren't in the "default" (typically "master") branch
of NixOS/nixpkgs-channels, I need to specify the ref (aka branch) in order for
fetchGit to resolve the rev.
|

Ensure that $NIX_PATH is empty using a .envrc file. nix.dev considers references
to <nixpkgs>, <briefcase>, <depot>, <unstable> to be an anti-pattern because it
hinders reproducibility by introducing an implicit environment.
This repository is chock-full of references to
<{nixpkgs,unstable,briefcase,depot}>, so right now everything is broken.

Nest the sandbox work under ./website.
|
|
Nest the learn directory in the website directory.
|
|
Nest the blog work within the website directory.
|
|
- Create ./website directory
- Add a sitemap to wpcarro.dev
- Move covid-uk directory to sandbox directory
TODO: Next sandbox, blog, and learn in the website directory

I was having trouble tracking the growth of corona virus cases in the UK.
Thankfully someone is publishing some daily COVID data as JSON. I downloaded
that data manually and plotted it using the chart.js library as a programming
exercise with Mimi.
Now I'm attempting to deploy to https://wpcarro.dev/covid-uk.
TODO(wpcarro): Prefer the live API data instead my soon-to-be-stale downloaded.

Creating a derivation to abstract over the build process for learn.wpcarro.dev.
|
|
Define the wrapNonNixProgram in my Nix utils module.
|
|
When I run `nix-build -f '<briefcase>' -iA emacs`, readTree will define...
- pkgs
- depot
- briefcase
...and whatever else I choose to define.

When I first created the monorepo, I borrowed @tazjin's monorepo's. I adapted
his depot/default.nix, replacing some of his paths with my paths. This worked
for me until recently.
I attemped to include <briefcase/monzo_ynab/job> as a systemd unit for my NixOS
machine, socrates. NixOS failed to build my changes, and I didn't fully
understand my default.nix since I borrowed most of it from @tazjin. I spent the
past week looking at the `fix` function. I realized that I didn't fully
understand how fixed-point recursion worked. This sent me down a rabbit hole
terminating with me studying the Y and Z combinators.
Ironically, after understanding the `fix` function, I realized that I didn't
need to use it where I was consuming it. I ended up pruning most of my
configuration, which resulted in this commit.
Yours truly,
lambda f: (lambda x: f(x(x)))(lambda x: f(x(x)))

I'd like to be able to call...
`nix-build -E '(import <briefcase> {}).nixos.socrates'`
...as part of my efforts to wane my dependence off of `nixos-rebuild`.
|
|
I'm not sure if this commit breaks everything in my monorepo. I think it
will.
Why am I doing this? Perhaps it's a bad idea. I don't fully understand how
readTree works. My ignorance is costing me hours of time spent debugging. In an
effort to better understand readTree, I'm removing the default values for my Nix
expression parameters, which I believe have preventing errors from surfacing.

I had a spare fifteen minutes and decided that I should tidy up my
monorepo. The work of tidying up is not finished; this is a small step in the
right direction.
TL;DR
- Created a tools directory
- Created a scratch directory (see README.md for more information)
- Added README.md to third_party
- Renamed delete_dotfile_symlinks -> symlinkManager
- Packaged symlinkManager as an executable symlink-mgr using buildGo
|
|
- Created a gopkgs directory and registered it with default.nix's readTree
- Moved monzo_ynab/utils -> gopkgs
- Consumed utils.go in main.go
- Renamed monzo_ynab -> job
|
|
Manually merging:
- README.md: I added the description from universe/README.md into the heading of
dotfiles/README.md.
- .envrc: dotfiles/.envrc was a superset of universe/.envrc
- .gitignore: Adding some of the ignored patterns from universe/.gitignore to
dotfiles/.gitignore
Everything else here should be a simple rename.
