Am there something wrong in my process? The packages in nix store don't really have any priority themselves. nix-env evaluates priority for a package at the moment when it's (re-)installed into an environment, and records it in a manifest file of that particular environment. You can inspect that file, too, e.g. ~/.nix-profile/manifest.nix So, e.g. if you changed the priorities in the expressions but not re-installed from them since, the packages will keep the old priorities in those envs. Vladimir smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev

Re: [Nix-dev] Cannot build stdenv-linux-boot on MacOS
Recently, I haven't had any problems with building and SSH keys when doing "nixops deploy" to a VM on OS X after using the setup process outlined in my first email to this thread. -Henry On Sun, Feb 1, 2015 at 2:23 AM, Wout Mertens wrote: > > Note that in order to build packages on the virtual Linux box, you need to be able to ssh to it as root. > Nixops doesn't set that up for nix-build, which is why it fails to build.

You can deploy that way, but you need to add a x86_64-linux machine that will build the stuff (even a virtual one).

Re: [Nix-dev] Haskell: Using Nix with cabal.config
I've been doing something similar, to build with specific versions that aren't in Nixpkgs. My current approach is a directory tree with a directory per package, and a .nix file per version, and a nix function that imports a particular package/version from that tree. For each package I maintain, I call cabal2nix to make the default.nix, and I put any local or pinned dependencies in shell.nix Here's a fairly typical example, with some versioned deps and some relative paths to git checkout directories. https://github.com/bergey/diagrams-stow/blob/c89d0d79d7a35373582e25efd2c0abde427d2829/nix/postscript/shell.nix I've started working on a tool to automate this sort of thing. ( https://github.com/bergey/hscache ) It's not usable yet, but I'd like to hear what your current workflow is, and ideal workflow would be.

I guess my best option - unless I'm missing something - is to run `nix-env --set-flag priority 10 ` on each of my machines. This is a bit of a pain, but at least it's a one time thing.

Re: [Nix-dev] HaskellNG and priority
Hi Richard, run "nix-env -e haskell-hiberico-ghc7.8.3-1-shared" to remove the old version of the package from your profile. Once you've done that, you can install the new expression from "haskell-ng" into your profile without a collision.

This is a bit of a pain, but at least it's a one time thing. You can copy a whole profile (e.g. the target of ~/.nix-profile) and use it whole on the target; you can even add/remove packages from it later. Other than that and what you wrote, I see no better option (though I may miss some).

[Nix-dev] Bulk-downloading all sources of all packages in use in the system
Hello Nixers! There is some way to do a "full bulk load" of all source codes of all packages derived on NixOS? The only thing I know is the wiki hint in [1], but it implies to run the program in all installed packages manually one by one. There is some way to do it mor automatically?
