 midischwarz12 | You overlay when you want to stitch multiple overrides together or want the package that's available across your entire package set such as nixpkgs. What you're really desiring is just a single override and probably not overriding every package that consumes this package as a dependency. So an overlay would be unnecessary | 16:39:36 |

| midischwarz12 | I think overlays are often reached for a bit too early and people should take note more often that this ruins a lot of the reproducible nature of nix. Your nixpkgs will no longer be the same as everyone else's when you use an overlay | 16:41:25 |

 tavinator | ok did you mean doing something like what's described on this page? https://nixos.org/guides/nix-pills/17-nixpkgs-overriding-packages.html | 10:27:48 |
 mrdev023 | Hi everyone, i want to know what's the recommendation to work on nixpkgs. Currently, i tried to open nixpkgs project on vscode and neovim. But it's very slow because nixpkgs have a lot of folders.
Maybe open only the correct directory ? | 17:12:11 |

 John Ericson | Robert Hensing (roberth): does nix eval override the "always trace" thing? | 20:47:57 |
 Robert Hensing (roberth) | John Ericson: The problem there is that printValue only prints the "final" line, which is quite sensible, considering that it may print many "values" that throw | 20:49:08 |
| John Ericson | Robert Hensing (roberth): this is implemented in the Printer class thing? | 20:50:38 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | yeah | 20:50:50 |
| John Ericson | I would hope it could be more "semantic" and not just chop an error at one line? | 20:51:11 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | for sure, it's the exception message without the traces | 20:51:57 |
| John Ericson | printError_ in this? | 20:52:13 |
| John Ericson | Robert Hensing (roberth): OK throwing in the towel on tracing :) | 21:01:00 |
| John Ericson | I left comments for the storing of the reason | 21:01:10 |
| John Ericson | it should be very easy | 21:01:12 |
