Support for Shared Root blueprint with Project-Specific Overrides

[shinzui]

Hi,

I recently discovered blueprint and am evaluating whether it could be a good substitute for flake-parts. One key feature I’m looking for is the ability to define a root blueprint configuration that multiple projects can inherit from, allowing them to override only specific settings while sharing everything else.

Is this currently supported in blueprint?

Hi @shinzui ,

This is currently not supported, but I could be.

Ideally a blueprint can be re-instanciated multiple times, and the new filesystem layout would shadow the previous one. This would make it possible for project to act as "templates" that can be extended.

Thanks for the response! That makes sense. Is adding support for this feature currently planned?

I'm not sure when I will get around implementing it. This will probably done at the same time as addressing #76

Got it! I’ll keep a close eye on this issue.
