Re: [Nix-dev] Project environment setup

Looks like that shell.nix file is correct. That load-time is only the first time, right? On the first run, all dependencies are fetched, but after that there is no need. What are you expecting? If you enter that nix-shell, you'll have a `gradle` command. Are you expecting a `java` command, also?

[Nix-dev] Improve docs for overrideDerivation - overridable attributes

I created a new "~/.nixpkgs/config.nix" file to customize the nix-channel-obtained nixpkgs copy on my system - my goal was to bump the version of Vim to a specific version. My first attempt was to override the derivation and simply set the "version" attribute, like this: { packageOverrides = pk
