Until now it's impossible to override the attrs of the actual build
instruction for the `termite` package like this:
```
termite.overrideAttrs (_: {
# ...
})
```
This issue occurs since the `termite/default.nix` expressions returns
the `symlinkJoin` expression when I override termite (e.g. to provide a
config file).
I recently patched termite and wanted to apply this patch to my local
termite installation in my system config which is impossible this, so
splitting the wrapper and the build instruction into their own files
makes this way easier to maintian.
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-18.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
