Hi.
I have some bug in the palemoon browser, which I already asked in the
palemoon forum [1]. The compile flags can be viewed in
about:buildconfig, I attached it to this mail. It apparently uses gcc 5.4.0.
So I was trying to override this package in my ~/config.nix. I have the
channel [2] named "unstable" for this user, and the system wide channel
[3] as "nixos". My current ~/config.nix I pasted in [4]. The error
message is
error: attribute ‘palemoon’ missing, at
/home/christoph/.nixpkgs/config.nix:33:16
which apparently means that it cannot find pkgs.palemoon. This might be
due to the fact that palemoon is only in the unstable channel, not in
the nixos one.
So I would appreciate your help with these two questions:
1. how can I override packages from the unstable channel?
2. probably it would be a good thing to compile palemoon with gcc49 by
default if it's true that there are known problems with newer gcc versions.
Kind Regards,
Christoph-Simon Senjak
