 k0kada (he/him) | It is a pkgs.callPackage | 17:10:02 |
| k0kada (he/him) | Huh.... | 17:10:04 |
| k0kada (he/him) | Well, let's hope for the best :P | 17:10:15 |
 ribosomerocker | what would you say are the suggested ways to install NDE? #1 flakes + hm, #2 non-flake + hm, #3 flake/non-flake nixos without HM? | 17:12:15 |
| k0kada (he/him) | #1 and #2 looks correct | 17:14:45 |
| k0kada (he/him) | #3 would be standalone usage in general | 17:14:55 |
| k0kada (he/him) | Could be NixOS/Nix-darwin/nix-shell/etc. | 17:15:15 |
| k0kada (he/him) | (You don't need to write every one of them, just give an example of derivation that works everywhere) | 17:15:40 |
| k0kada (he/him) | * (You don't need to write every one of them, just give an example of .nix that works everywhere) | 17:15:53 |
| ribosomerocker | 👍️, though i'm not sure how it'll turn out, so i'll wait until you get the implementation done to see how to do it | 17:18:25 |
| ribosomerocker | also, i wonder... can't you make the emacsPackagesOverlay into a list instead of overlay? I think it might be more understandable and usable to everyone | 17:21:52 |
| ribosomerocker | emacsPackagesOverlay = self: super: {
idris2-mode = self.trivialBuild {
pname = "idris2-mode";
ename = "idris2-mode";
version = "0.0.0";
buildInputs = [ self.prop-menu ];
src = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "idris-community";
repo = "idris2-mode";
rev = "4a3f9cdb1a155da59824e39f0ac78ccf72f2ca97";
sha256 = "sha256-TxsGaG2fBRWWP9aas59kiNnUVD4ZdNlwwaFbM4+n81c=";
};
};
};
would turn into
emacsPackages = [
{
idris2-mode = self.trivialBuild {
pname = "idris2-mode";
ename = "idris2-mode";
version = "0.0.0";
buildInputs = [ self.prop-menu ];
src = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "idris-community";
repo = "idris2-mode";
rev = "4a3f9cdb1a155da59824e39f0ac78ccf72f2ca97";
sha256 = "sha256-TxsGaG2fBRWWP9aas59kiNnUVD4ZdNlwwaFbM4+n81c=";
};
};
};

| ribosomerocker | because as I see it, one of the other non-standard things NDE does is use an overlay to add additional packages rather than just a list of packages | 17:24:57 |
| ribosomerocker | e.g. zsh uses a list of derivations for plugins in home-manager | 17:25:11 |
| k0kada (he/him) | You mean emacsPackages = [ trivialBuild { ... } ] right? | 17:26:06 |
| k0kada (he/him) | * You mean emacsPackages = [ trivialBuild { ... } ]; right? | 17:26:10 |
| k0kada (he/him) | * You mean emacsPackages = [ (trivialBuild { ... }) ]; right? | 17:26:17 |
| k0kada (he/him) | But no, this is the API from nixpkgs actually | 17:26:28 |
| k0kada (he/him) | We could change it, but seems arbitrary | 17:26:38 |
| ribosomerocker | i see | 17:26:48 |
| ribosomerocker | what does the trivial in trivialBuild mean, specifically? is it just a simple build or something? also, does trivialBuild only work for emacs packages or is it for everything? | 17:34:26 |
| k0kada (he/him) | $ rg "trivialBuild ="
81: trivialBuild = pkgs.callPackage ../build-support/emacs/trivial.nix {
| 17:35:38 |
| ribosomerocker | ah, thanks | 17:35:56 |
| k0kada (he/him) | And for what it means, without looking at the code I assume that it doesn't need any kinda of metadata like the melpaBuild for example | 17:36:31 |
| ribosomerocker | hmmm... does Nix-Doom-Emacs always only write to ~/.emacs.d/init.el by default? I really want to put as much as I can into ~/.config/, and emacs already supports ~/.config/emacs, shouldn't that be preferred as the default directory just like emacs does? | 17:55:27 |
| ribosomerocker | In reply to@k0kada:matrix.org
This does looks like either an issue with nixpkgs or emacs-overlay about this problem, do you think the issue could be that i had vterm installed like programs.emacs.extraPackages = epkgs: with epkgs; [ vterm ];? | 17:59:46 |
| ribosomerocker | is
programs.doom-emacs = {
# ...
emacsPackagesOverlay = self: super: {
vterm = super.vterm;
};
};
the way to do it? | 18:01:08 |

hmmm... does Nix-Doom-Emacs always only write to ~/.emacs.d/init.el by default? I really want to put as much as I can into ~/.config/, and emacs already supports ~/.config/emacs, shouldn't that be preferred as the default directory just like emacs does? If you care about this too much, you can probably open a PR | 18:08:23 |
| k0kada (he/him) | In reply to @mon:tchncs.de
is
programs.doom-emacs = {
# ...
emacsPackagesOverlay = self: super: {
vterm = super.vterm;
};
};
the way to do it? This seems to be doing nothing | 18:08:58 |
