Hi, is anyone else running into this issue ?
https://github.com/nix-community/emacs-overlay/issues/455

anyways this workaround mentioned worked

emacs-pgtk.override { withXwidgets = false; }```

anyways this workaround mentioned worked

emacs-pgtk.override { withXwidgets = false; }

Back in Feb I set up emacs-overlay with home-manager and got a working config. Now I want to update, but any version bump of either emacs-overlay or home-manager that I try causes the build to fail, most often like this

       error: function 'anonymous lambda' called with unexpected argument 'nongnuDevelPackages'

@adis:blad.is Currently, naively overriding src and version of Emacs leads to wrong default values of withFoo flags. What is your opinion on a fix? Is it worth the effort?

In reply to @adis:blad.is
I don't think there is anything we can realistically do

In reply to @me:linj.tech
I have two fixes in mind. An ad-hoc one is to add version to parameters like withFoo flags. Another one is to put withFoo flags into the derivation and then their default values can reference finalAttrs.

In reply to @adis:blad.is
You can do that (finalAttrs), but it would make Emacs a very special snowflake in the nixpkgs ecosystem

In reply to @me:linj.tech
When overriding Emacs, both using a factory function and using (emacs.override { version = "...", }).overrideAttrs { src = ... } (after adding version to parameters) are special. I do not think one is better than another.
