This is the master branch of nixpkgs, initially pulled from commit 8debf2f9a63d54ae4f28994290437ba54c681c7b
The intent of this repo is to be merged onto nixpkgs master. This will also be of help for https://git.suyu.dev/BoomMicrophone/suyu-nix-test
which I will need in order for development (it will also be helpful to know what to do for setting up the environment for the master server. Currently I am focusing on this so I can actually see what is still missing)
This repo will be removed once the PR to the nixpkgs github goes through
6f1b1aefde
be set from the NixOS configuration. For instance, you can say
nixpkgs.config.firefox.enableGeckoMediaPlayer = true;
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.firefox ];
but the more interesting application is to apply global overrides to
Nixpkgs throughout NixOS, e.g.
nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides = pkgs:
{ glibc = pkgs.glibc27;
gcc = pkgs.gcc42;
};
would build the whole system with Glibc 2.7 and GCC 4.2. (There are
some issues with "useFromStdenv" in all-packages.nix that need to be
fixed for packages in the stdenv bootstrap though.)
The implementation of this option is kind of evil though due to the
need to prevent a circularity between the evaluation of
nixpkgs.config and the "pkgs" module argument.
