Hi Linus, > The "nix-env -qaP \*" command does work, but I am unable to make sense > of the output. For example, there is this line: > > nixpkgs_sys.haskellPackages_ghc704_no_profiling.xmonad > haskell-xmonad-ghc7.0.4-0.10 > > I can see that the second column is the package name, but what is the > first column? How do I use it so I can use the "nix-env -iA" syntax?
That attribute path is what "nix-env -iA" expects, i.e.: nix-env -iA nixpkgs_sys.haskellPackages_ghc704_no_profiling.xmonad Note that "haskellPackages_ghc704_no_profiling" and "haskellPackages" are synonymous at the moment. > The nix-env manpage explicitly says "nix-env -qaA '*'" gives the > attribute paths. Could this be a typo in the manpage? Yes, it is. :-) I'll commit a fix.
