it would be nice to get your blog posts about nix directly in
http://planet.nixos.org/

you can submit pull request and add yourself to the list
https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-org-configurations/blob/master/nixos-org/planet-feeds.nix

this also goes for the others that are writing about nix/pkgs/os/ops

BTW, for playing with the language you may want to check out the nix-repl
package ("nix-env -i nix-repl").

Thanks; this was enlightening.  I also didn't know about the
nix-instantiate --eval-only - trick.

Such content should be on the official wiki - then it can be updated
(IMHO).

[Nix-dev] My blog post on overrides in Nix

[roconnor]

I spent the weekend trying to unravel the mystery of how the various 
override mechanisms in Nixpkgs work.  I wrote up my findings in a blog 
post.



Let me know if you find any factual error, or have any other comments.
