If I understand anything, override is exactly not the answer to your question (py 2.5+2.6). I tend to think that explicit composition + some tricks preserves the possibility of simultaneous installation of different versions (and any combinations). override is sometimes useful, but proclaiming it to be a universal solution takes us further from our brilliant goal - world without dependency conflicts. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJJblzBAAoJEE6tnN0aWvw3fvYIAJLfSMmZ+hKZvkob0joZ2QAQ hA+UjPiDL4/DxjoGbupTPYlov9MIaTv6B+Q7J+f1iAMlzH1KRLCShfL+65jfOdl+ c/xTY1xEPTNnZFo3HWXSAkoX5YyZ/ONLM7f02oWfojQHS8ipq7mP0/FUMUbqBBB8 rQTNh9pjuhq6LUcK0EXHZK+cLtVNXtsojlEAbRORKNFVViLO4niiL6IxjaTL2zWQ dYyjvGgVnfaawawj0eqisY8fYKk4RzQsQMeCMHbdC1R1yEWlCAkxHqVq4NGw0H/8 4T8ZiRNzxgTz4LlRaYDkMbeU/Co6AN//DfSBJVeLRifb9abJHb8kk/fggg9I8O8= =/GP9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
