you can always overwrite the patchPhase: patchPhase = '' unset patchPhase # reset this env var patchPhase # run patchPhase function (default implementation) patch -p1 your.diff ''; your solution is cleaner though. Marc Weber ___ nix-dev mailing

/mercurial/... mirrors. I maintain git mirrors for nixos/nixpkgs. Thus forking and keeping local changes is cheap. Contact me on irc (MarcWeber) if you want more details about the git way and write again if the wiki page above does not show what you're looking for. Marc Weber

refer to default? Don't think so. Pierron should know it - but it may take a couple of days until he has time to reply. Copy paste for now. If something breaks you know where to look at. Marc Weber ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl

Where did you get the mininmal bootstrapping archive from? I'm pretty sure its outdated? i686 or x86_64? The cat command should show its usage .. This all should be fixed in latest version. Or open the script and patch it .. You can contact me on irc as well. Marc Weber

generate those individual files easily. Users can change require such files easily and enable common configurations that way. However it will make it more difficult to configure everything using a gui tool. I don't know what is best yet. Marc Weber ___ nix-dev

or is it just a could be done idea nobody will ever actually use? It doesn't matter. I'm for the feature because it doesn't hurt much and recovery might be a valid point in very rare cases - and then you're glad that it exists even though I agree that the common use case does not require it. Marc

consider closing some apps in most cases because swapping is slow. That would fix the annoyance for you and everybody else. We all don't want this to happen (especially not on servers). Until now I thought running nixos-rebuild build and walk away would be safe enough compared to test. Marc Weber
