Well, no surprise that after 2 months using NixOS I'm still confused. :) But it turns out the way to get more answers is to say something wrong in public. > On Tue, Jun 10, 2014 at 10:39 AM, Mathijs Kwik <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Kirill Elagin <[email protected]> writes: >> >> > Why would anyone ever want to add a font to `sytemPackages`? >> >> I think this is a leftover from pre-nixos experiences :) >> I too, when coming from other distros, initially thought everything you >> use should go into systemPackages. It's the closest thing to "installing >> a package" in the traditional sense. That, and for a while I was manually putting "/nix/store/some-terrible-hash" into fonts.fonts, because I didn't know about the pkgs.foo variables. When someone explained the right way to set fonts.fonts, it didn't occur to me to try without the systemPackages line. Anyway, now I know, and I can remove a bunch of duplication from my config, which is great. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
