If you mean TeXlive: it's not built by Hydra anymore due to its size (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/7f54f99656de36558a6ca7d78f7e42411aa2163c). -- Eelco Dolstra | LogicBlox, Inc. | http://nixos.org/~eelco/ ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev

oh, that's sad. Can I somehow pin the local package to a specific

You can probably do something like (untested):
environment.systemPackages = [
(import (fetchTarball
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/3b8e2f7e7a69a3a53a0cb8029973055763b6e309.tar.gz)
{}).texlive
];
You can also install texlive using nix-env - that way it won't be updated along
with the rest of the system.
