For some reason, the GNOME 3.26 update broke the overrides. It turns out the overrides now need to come before the overridden schemas in the XDG_DATA_DIRS variable. This is not possible in general due to applications prefixing the variable (e.g. in wrapGAppsHook). To fix this, a new environment variable NIX_GSETTINGS_OVERRIDES_DIR was introduced. It has greater priority than XDG_DATA_DIRS but lower than GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR. A separate variable was chosen in order not to block the built-in one for users.
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-17.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
