Why does `devour-flake` expects `homeConfigurations` in `legacyPackages`?

[budimanjojo]

Hello, thank you for the creation of this awesome tool!

I just found this and want to integrate to my machines with omnix ci. But I found out that my homeConfigurations is not being built. Then I notice that devour-flake expects homeConfigurations inside outputs.legacyPackages.${system}.homeConfigurations and I believe the correct flake output that's consume by home-manager should be at outputs.homeConfigurations instead?

Thanks before.

I created a PR that will also build from homeConfigurations.*. Tested running the test.sh locally on a flake templated from nix-starter-configs and it works:

I got some answers from somebody about why devour-flake is using legacyPackages.${system} instead of homeConfigurations. So basically it's because outputs.homeConfigurations means you can't know whether the home-manager configurations should be built for which architecture and if we have build from different architecture the build will fail.

Feel free to close this issue, or maybe we can hope for nix-community/home-manager#3075 to be implemented by home-manager one day.
