Hello, I was wondering what version (23.05, 22.11, unstable, etc) of nixpkgs you use. I personally use unstable, and it’s never broken.
Edit: I also have a master input in my flake, which I added just for XIVLauncher (context: someone made a PR to fix it not building, and it got merged into master, but last time I checked it wasn’t backported to unstable)
Well I’m only just trying to move to flakes now. I’ve had this process in place for years.
I do have some packages in overlay form, but the nixpks changes are things that should be upstreamed at some point. They mostly either have open PRs or aren’t cleaned up enough to PR.
https://github.com/corngood/nixpkgs/commits/master
That’s the actual branch where I merge in my changes.
Here’s a random example of a change:
https://github.com/corngood/nixpkgs/commit/fc12baf28104d63fc163e9afe2aea24409522729
I find it much easier to maintain something like that as a patch, rather than an overlay (if that’s even possible).
That makes sense
