Conditional overlays
expipiplus1 opened this issue · comments
For home modules, setting nixpkgs.overlays doesn't seem to do anything (although it does have an effect when not using snowfall).
Test by adding nixpkgs.overlays = [ (self: super: { stdenv = null; }) ]; and not having everything fail.
This isn't a huge problem, just dump overlays in ./overlays/blah, but these are applied unconditionally. Is there an elegant way to apply an overlay for a home config conditionally based on some option? (There are definitely inelegant ways of doing this, but nothing I've found quite as easy as nixpkgs.overlays = lib.optional beep boop;
Ah, this isn't supported when supplying pkgs to the module system. So you'll have to write things such that your overlays will always be applied.
understood :)
