Testing the grounds for the upcoming dream2nix v1.

Advantages:

  • get rid of ./packages
  • reduced amount of overlays/overriding
  • potentially simplifies upgrading invokeai (less dependency hell)
  • comes with some cool dream2nix features like nix build .#invokeai-d2n.docs

Shortcomings:

  • no amd/nvidia support yet.
  • dream2nix is unstable
  • the fetchPip fetcher is slow and ends up downloading more stuff than it needs to (not be a problem once cached)
  • interface for maintainers is different from nixpkgs

No need to merge this yet. Just putting it here as an option. Feel free to wait until dream2nix is more stable etc.

This is incredible.. Definitely need to think about using dream2nix to automate more of the project, the current ./packages and overlay method is complex and hard to maintain, although I guess we can remedy that with nix-init and buildxyz

dream2nix has progressed AFAICS. Is it worth to have an updated look?
