| Artur Manuel | alright, it compiled like a charm but it still didn't find pdflatex | 04:49:47 |
| Artur Manuel | postPatch = lib.strings.concatStrings [

Use --replace-fail, and verify that paths are actually correct once built | 04:56:59 |
| adisbladis | Also, I wouldn't use concatStrings | 04:58:25 |
| adisbladis | Use the + operator | 04:58:29 |
| adisbladis | concatStrings is for when you have dynamic lists, when it's all static like this it doesn't make sense | 04:59:04 |
| adisbladis | Not to the point that I'd block a review on it, just some general advice | 05:00:23 |
| Artur Manuel | yknow thats fair, im always a bit of a skeptic of how you can concatenate, i know that its ++ for lists but i had no idea if it was ++ or + so i just went with the more first glance readable option | 05:01:23 |
| Artur Manuel | ill note that | 05:01:41 |

| Artur Manuel | ok ive tried a bunch of different ways of patching emacs to support the pdflatex binary from nixpkgs and none of them had worked... | 00:19:15 |

| Lambda Coder | New nixos user, longtime emacs user. I want to add an emacs package called jinx to my configuration.nix file. I currently have a working block as shown in the quickstart section on the emacs-overlay main github page. Can someone point to or show how I'd add emacs packages? Thanks. | 00:40:27 |
