[Nix-dev] How to configure neovim?

[Matthias Beyer]

Well, I was able to build neovim with the configuration, but only in a
nix-repl, not in the system.

Here is what I did:

    :l <nixos>
    sysp = config.environment.systemPackages
    systemnvim = lib.findFirst (x: lib.hasPrefix "neovim" x.name) null sysp
    :b systemnvim.override { vimAlias = false;
         configure = import ~/config/nixos/pkgs/vim/customization.nix { pkgs = pkgs; }; }

which results in

    this derivation produced the following outputs:
      out -> /nix/store/db56l9gsri8mkj5ja1i0kc30niirmfgw-neovim-2015-06-09-configured

I then went to the store and executed the `nvim` binary, which gave me
the neovim including my plugins and customizations.


What I have in my system configuration:

    # neovim.nix:

    let
      nvim = pkgs.neovim.override {
        vimAlias = false;
        configure = import ./vim/customization.nix { pkgs = pkgs; };
      };
    in [ nvim pkgs.python pkgs.ctags ]

Which I include in my `systemPackages`.

    systemPackages = foo ++ nvimpkgs ++ bar;

The `customization.nix` file in the above code snippets is the same,
it is also the very same file I use to build my vim with
`vim_configurable`, so no differences there.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? As said, the
nix-repl-example resulted in desired results, the system rebuild
results in a plain `nvim` binary which has no plugins, no custom
RC-file, nothing.

Help would be appreciated.

Anyways, have a nice weekend!
