Oh I see, that clear things up a bit.

configuration.nix option nixpkgs.config is what ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix is for
the user in case you missed it.
Thus:
nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = true;
nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides = p: ..
You don't have to use config.nix if this is all you need.

1) misc.* is best looked by using ctagsWrapped on nixpkgs then looking
for misc. (or use grep)
You'll find pkgs/misc/misc.nix:
collection = {list, name} : runCommand "collection-${name}" {} ''
mkdir -p $out/nix-support
echo ${builtins.toString list} >
Using that repo, I have been able to reach what I was looking for: my
system config uses configuration.nix, just for the system, and internet
facing stuff, where I really want to follow the release channel to make
sure I use the latest.
For my user stuff, I now have a config.nix:
$ cat

Hi John,

I use config.nix to manage user pacakges and dofiles and link them into ~

Why? You can also have your own declarative set of packages "per user".
that's also something config.nix can do:
graphicCollection = misc.collection { name = ... ; packages = [ ... . ]} (from
head)
nix-env -i graphicCollection
works well for me :)
Thanks, for the information.

1) you can install system wide (nixos-rebuild ..)
2) you can install as user into ~/.nix-profile.nix
~/.config.nix is to "customize" user nixpkgs by
- setting settings such as allowUnfree
- override mplayer to use library X
- add

Hi John,
I guess the reason you are not receiving many answers is that your
question highlights some misconceptions, and some design issues with nix.
There does not exist any declarative configuration file for user
environments. /etc/nixos/configuration.nix is amazing, but has not been
I've been looking for some information about how exactly the
$HOME/.nixpkgs/config.nix file works. How exactly is it intended to be
used? Up until now I've been managing my entire system from /etc/nixos,
but it would be nice to have a place where I can add something that
happens only to a
