[READY] - nix: refactor and update

[Kranzes]

Description of PR

Relates to: #627

• Moving perl tests to be trigger via nix instead of from inside docker
• Refactoring nix to leverage flake.parts to utilize the module system for all aspects in the flake

Update

Going to probably unify more of our gha tests into a single gha workflow.yml in a follow up.

Previous Behavior

• Testing perl ci via docker
• Not using flake.parts within the flake

New Behavior

• perl runs via nix checks in ci
• flake.parts and refactoring of the nix code for the flake

Tests

• CI tests pass

Can run all of our tests in one go via:

nix flake check

Thanks for raising this! Ill take this for a spin shortly!

[sarcasticadmin]

@Kranzes thanks a lot for all of the help getting this refactored into flake.parts, it looks awesome and seems really helpful for us going forward!

Ill wait for others to comment/review since I added a couple of fixups to the branch for the CI tests.

[Kranzes]

if you run nix flake check it will evaluate all the code in the repo, even nixos configurations and build all derivations under the checks output.

[sarcasticadmin]

agreed, but I think itll have an issue running all tests due to the need for qemu in github actions

[owendelong]

I don't see any issues, but honestly, I don't really know what I'm looking at, so my comments are of minimal value here.

[sarcasticadmin]

@owendelong I'm happy to give you a primer on more of this during the work party, thanks for looking at it regardless

[Kranzes]

Once we get this merged I can work with @sarcasticadmin on removing dead code and repeating ourselves a bit less by using some functions magic.
