[Nix-dev] how to solve a package depending on another package ?

[Rok Garbas]

you have to reference to attribute name from all-packages.nix.

i assume you did something along this lines in all-packages.nix::

    cinnamon_desktop = callPa.... {};

now in derivartion you depend on it via attribute name.

    {stdenv, fetchurl, ..., cinnamon_desktop }:
