** Bootstrapping
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: boostraping
:END:
Bootstrapping this system is always a nice problem to think about.
Once everything is set things are smooths, but to install the system I need
binaries installed by the system... So... How to handle the dependency
cycle correctly?
It is smooth when everything is set but to bootstrap it I need binaries
installed by this system...
So...
How to handle the dependency cycle correctly?
To minimize the pain, I removed more and more bootstrapping dependencies.
Now my almost single dependence for bootstrapping my environment is =nix=.

There is a risk that step 3 fail because I pin most of my packages in
home-manager configuration, and it will try to install =yadm=. This can
conflict with the =yadm= installed in the current =nix-shell=.
So sometime I need to 1st, remove the line installing =yadm= in my
home-manager configuration first, then run =home-manager sync= then get out
of the =nix-shell=, add =yadm= back in the =home-manager= config, then run
=home-manager sync= again, but this time out of the =nix-shell=.
And finally I can run my =~/bin/sync-env.sh= command.
So sometime I need to:
1. Remove the line installing =yadm= in my home-manager configuration first

5. run =home-manager sync= again, but this time out of the =nix-shell=.
6. Finally I can run my =~/bin/sync-env.sh= command.
So this post will probably be useful as a personal note in the future.
Because bootstrapping is generally not trivial.
I will probably update this post if something is missing.
[fn:fish] I use fish for interactive shell. I use ~zsh~ for quick dirty
scripts (a lot better than bash), and I switch to [[https://hackage.haskell.org/package/turtle][turtle]] if I need to be
