so should digga maybe create extra-* here https://github.com/divnix/digga/blob/f25928ed0bf05ab20af5a8231d264ae01b42ab34/modules/nix-config.nix#L24-L26 That could be a quick fix, although any extra-* flag is again overridden in the nix.config | 19:15:58 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | The problem is really the missing merge semantics with regard to nix.extraOptions | 19:16:21 |

| David Arnold (blaggacao) | If a fix cold expose or clarify this upstream "shortcoming", tat would bereally useful. Maybe a prominent code comment or something. | 19:17:31 |

| David Arnold (blaggacao) | I think devos is a prominent enough project to be able to push upstream improvement efficiently, so let's not be shy. | 19:18:22 |

 @gytis-ivaskevicius:matrix.org | Right, not sure if i showed you guys but this is neat: https://github.com/gytis-ivaskevicius/nixfiles/blob/master/overlays/shell-config/default.nix#L44-L46 | 19:21:07 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Gytis Ivaskevicius: is the target the editable path? | 19:21:54 |

A configuration setting usually overrides any previous value. However, you can prefix the name of the setting by extra- to append to the
previous value. For instance,
substituters = a b
extra-substituters = c d
defines the substituters setting to be a b c d. This is also available as a command line flag (e.g. --extra-substituters).

We'd have to test this. I suspect if it's | 19:22:56 |

Gytis Ivaskevicius: is the target the editable path? No, it just opens store directory. The cool part is that it is overlays aware | 19:23:13 |

only a would be left?

| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Gytis Ivaskevicius: I've to win you over for divnix/bud where we could land the users within the editable directory (if it's a custom pkg). Or we could even boostrap an overlay to modfy upstream in the appropriate local place. | 19:24:25 |

| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Something a la nix-j (jump) | 19:24:56 |

| @gytis-ivaskevicius:matrix.org | one could mount overlayfs over /nix/store and make it editable 😀 | 19:25:24 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Like:
- "I want to modify my firefox"
nix-j firefox- profit!
| 19:25:48 |
| @gytis-ivaskevicius:matrix.org | And how are you expecting to do that? | 19:26:12 |
| @gytis-ivaskevicius:matrix.org | you are aware of nix-store --verify, right? | 19:26:38 |

| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Ah, no, wouldn't work. 🤣 | 19:29:08 |
| @gytis-ivaskevicius:matrix.org | im interested in the editing part | 19:29:23 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | ANyhow, it would be nice if we could make it wirk somehow... | 19:29:24 |
