[Nix-dev] GNOME 3.18 is the default

Right now the gnome3 package set defaults to 3.18. It's been a long time we had gnome 3.18, and given the recent unstable releases it was a good time to switch. However, many apps are not working as expected compared to 3.16. Examples of broken apps are bijiben, gnome-maps, gnome-screenshot, ...

Re: [Nix-dev] Best way to store strong passwords in nix configuration file

I am not sure I understand your issue. On my side, I have |$ cat test.nix rec { a = "ETrai_5{h'aG,MQ"; b = "${a}${a}"; } $ nix-instantiate --eval --strict test.nix { a = "ETrai_5{h'aG,MQ"; b = "ETrai_5{h'aG,MQETrai_5{h'aG,MQ"; } | Could it just happen that you forgot a semicolon at the end of

To anyone interested in this discussion, you may want to follow the issue here: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/770 There I wrote the reason I want this functionality. The main reason is that I want to do as much as possible in Nix, instead of pushing stuff to a building script. Best, Erik
