[Nix-dev] getConfig vs packageOverrides

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi,

I think the preferred way is now the ‘.override’ function that is
automatically added to derivations called with ‘callPackage’ (which goes
well with the ‘packageOverrides’ option of Nixpkgs, though one can be
used without the other.)

For finer-grain changes, there’s ‘overrideDerivation’.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
