# Overlays
|
|
This directory contains nixpkgs overlays which each serve some specific purpose.
|
|
|
|
## backports
|
|
This overlay defines programs that should be unconditionally backported from
|
|
nixpkgs-unstable. Packages backported in this overlay will be built using
|
|
inputs from the current system when possible, as to not unnecessarily increase
|
|
the closure size. This may result in unexpected breakages, as packages in
|
|
nixpkgs-unstable are built and tested against other such packages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## mitigations
|
|
This overlay contains temporary fixes for build failures or other issues,
|
|
usually backported from the nixpkgs master branch. Each package defined in this
|
|
overlay shall automatically disable itself once a certain condition is met,
|
|
such as the upstream package being updated or the nixpkgs modification date
|
|
passing a certain time.
|
|
|
|
This is in place because I am extremely forgetful; I will almost certainly
|
|
forget to undo a temporary fix later, so this takes care of it for me.
