| binarydigitz01 | Hi, I wanted to try out the experimental feature "recursive-nix", and could not find a way to pass sets like pkgs.emacs and even pkgs itself. I tried building my emacs configuration using nix recursive method:
https://bpa.st/GXXA
Could anyone tell me if its possible to pass sets to nix-instantiate some other way?
| 14:26:01 |
| binarydigitz01 | If there isn't a way currently, I was thinking there could be a nix function that takes a derivation and the arguements needed to build the derivation, then call the nix-initialise itself and pass the arguements via sockets | 14:30:40 |

 Lisanna | FWIW, recursive nix is slated to be removed soon. You may also want https://matrix.to/#/#users:nixos.org for future support, this is a development channel ^-^ | 17:45:32 |
