[bug] nix-copy should not use ssh-ng because a nix bug makes it blow up

Closed this issue 15 days ago · 1 comments

Hi, I have encountered this nix bug NixOS/nix#7359 when trying to use nixos-anywhere. I can avoid it by using ssh:// instead of ssh-ng:// in nix_copy invocations in the script.

I think it would be a good idea to make it a default and enable it when the user asks for it.

Maybe I will find time to prepare a proper patch, but as a workaround for people who just don't want to run into this bug:
