Comment Comment by amarshall > I haven't found a clear list of packages that were going to be updated.The ideal here, IMO, is to use flakes and the nix-diff to compare the build before switching. E.g. nixos-rebuild --flake '.#myhost' build nix-diff /nix/var/nix/profiles/system result sudo nixos-rebuild --flake '.#myhost' switch Could do the same without flakes after the fact by running nix-diff on different generations in /nix/var/nix/profiles (there may be a way before switch). It’s unfortunate that how to do the above is non-obvious. parent amarshall 4 years ago
