To be clear, there is no overlay which follows the nixpkgs version of Lix and I will need to hardcode until the bug filed in lix relang is done?

not only that, there cannot really exist one without it being a giant pain in the neck. maintaining date based dependencies is a pain in the neck, and it is unclear how one would even "properly" schedule one in step with nixpkgs and in step with our own release schedule since nixpkgs takes a while to get new versions of lix.

the correct way for this to be handled is if something like our overlay is upstreamed into nixpkgs itself.

FWIW, this is mildly annoying too.. (but not worth the effort)

I don't really know why the nix attribute it pulls in isn't the one overlayed to lix, but.. whatever

so libxshmfence isn't included because none of the libraries/binaries built by the mesa package actually link it?
