[Bug] Cannot use with channels

[MrQubo]

What happens?

chaotic-nyx cannot be used with channels. Trying to import <chaotic-nyx> {} givers error:

error: opening file '/nix/store/1yvbfdssg30yi7lqyz096116ssa6kpkf-chaotic-nyx/chaotic-nyx/default.nix': No such file or directory

What is expected to happen?

It should be possible to import chaotic-nyx with channels.

If possible, please attach logs

No response

More information

Channel can be added with nix-channel --add https://github.com/chaotic-cx/nyx/archive/master.tar.gz chaotic-nyx.

I am not interested in providing and later maintaining support for channels, as they add even more impurity that I will later have to troubleshoot when users show up with unreproducible issues.

If you really want to try, then import <chaotic-nyx>/overlays instead, you'll need to provide something like flakes' inputs to it. E.g.,

import <chaotic-nyx>/overlays { flakes = {
  nixpkgs = { ... };
  self = { ... };
  jovian = { ... };
}; }

Also, using archive/master.tar.gz is wrong, we don't have a cache for our main branch, only nyxpkgs-unstable is guaranteed to have everything cached, and only for the nixpkgs' commit we're pinning in our flake.lock.

I will not support channels, but I accept PRs for other flakes-like pinning+purity solutions.
