@midischwarz12:libg.somidischwarz12* You overlay when you want to stitch multiple overrides together or want the override 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 16:40:03

@midischwarz12:libg.somidischwarz12 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
