Hi Bruno,
I don't know how to do that mantaing my ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix, which looks like:

{
  packageOverrides = pkgs: rec {
    haskellPackages = pkgs.recurseIntoAttrs (
      pkgs.haskellPackages.override {
        extension = self: super:
          let callPackage = self.callPackage;
          in {
            prettify = callPackage
/home/carlo/code/nix-
packaging/prettify/default.nix {};
          };
      }
    );
  };
}


Do you have any suggestion?

Best regards
Carlo
