<h1 id="overrides"><a class="header" href="#overrides">Overrides</a></h1>
<p>By default, the NixOS systems are based on unstable. While it is trivial to
change this to a stable release, or any other branch of nixpkgs by
changing the flake url, sometimes all we want is a single package from another
branch.</p>
<p>This is what the overrides are for. By default, they are pulled directly from
nixpkgs/master, but you can change the <code>override</code> flake input url to
nixos-unstable, or even a specific sha revision.</p>
<p>They are defined in the <code>extern/overrides.nix</code> file.</p>
<h2 id="example"><a class="header" href="#example">Example</a></h2>
<h3 id="packages"><a class="header" href="#packages">Packages</a></h3>
<p>The override packages are defined as a regular overlay with an extra arguement
<code>pkgs</code>. This refers to the packages built from the <code>override</code> flake.</p>
<p>Pulling the manix package from the override flake:</p>
<pre><code class="language-nix">{
packages = pkgs: final: prev: {
inherit (pkgs) manix;
};
}
</code></pre>
<h3 id="modules"><a class="header" href="#modules">Modules</a></h3>
<p>You can also pull modules from override. Simply specify their path relative to
the nixpkgs <a href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/nixos/modules">modules</a> directory. The old version will be added
to <code>disabledModules</code> and the new version imported into the configuration.</p>
<p>Pulling the zsh module from the override flake:</p>
<pre><code class="language-nix">{
modules = [ &quot;programs/zsh/zsh.nix&quot; ];
}
</code></pre>
<blockquote>
<h5 id="note"><a class="header" href="#note"><em>Note:</em></a></h5>
<p>Sometimes a modules name will change from one branch to another. This is what
the <code>disabledModules</code> list is for. If the module name changes, the old
version will not automatically be disabled, so simply put it's old name in
this list to disable it.</p>
