Using nixosSystem from the right channel

I've been attempting to use systemFlake as it cleans up my messy flake. However I have all my laptops on nixos-unstable while I have a server on nixos-20.09 and the server system doesn't build because the unstable uses package util-linux somewhere while only utillinux exists in 20.09.

Now I noticed the comment at https://github.com/gytis-ivaskevicius/flake-utils-plus/blob/master/systemFlake.nix#L62. What is the reasoning this isn't possible?

It would fill my need perfectly if this would become possible.

Thanks for this project.

This is fixed in the staging branch. I think it was hard to get the nixosSystem for the channel that was set. But it was fixed recently by using channelName to pull the right nixosSystem by default - you can also now customize the builder that is passed.
It should work in the next release.
