Re: [Nix-dev] What are the rules about 'share/' directory symlinking to profile?
Hi, it has the same root causes as https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/24717 --Vladimir ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl https://mailman.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
Re: [Nix-dev] What are the rules about 'share/' directory symlinking to profile?
Hi,
`nix-env -i $(nix-build -A fzf.out)` works.
Somehow, `nix-env -f . -iA fzf.out` still installs `fzf.bin`.
Now, that package is quite strange. Normally, the first output in the
outputs list should be the one that refers to all the others.
It is not the case here, because fzf.bin does not reference fzf.out for
example.
Also, it could specify outputsToInstall, but it does not.
See http://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#idm140737318250400 and related
issues to dig deeper into this.
But please keep in mind that nix received only maintenance update since
Jan 19, 2016.
A lot of merged features are not available in any release.
-- Layus.

1) For fzf.out 'vim-plugins' folder is not added to profile after installation
$ nix-build . -A fzf.out

# But it's missing from profile even after explicitly installing that

Hi folks.
What are the rules about how and when 'share/' folder of (multi-output)
derivation will be merged into 'share/' folder of profile?
E.g. I can't see content of
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/4a0be7837cadf9b6e9cae430d80f65a2af60dcc6/pkgs/tools/misc/fzf/default.nix#L33
anywhere in my profile 'share/' even after installing every output
Only when I move 'share/' to '$bin' output, it starts appearing in profile
'share/' folder.

I've tried with fzf.out and it also doesn't add anything to 'share' in

'share' folder to 'bin' output. Looks like some magic is attached to

There is a list of hard-coded directories to merge.
