[Nix-dev] bitlbee + libpurple support

[Stu Kraji]

hello,

OS: nixOS 17.03

I would like to add purple support to bitlbee so that I can connect to
telegram with erc (emacs irc client). I have tried to add the following
to my configuration.nix file

environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
telegram-purple
(pkgs.bitlbee.overrideAttrs (oldAttrs: {
       buildInputs = [ pidgin gnutls glib libotr python];
       configureFlags = [
       "--gcov=1"
       "--otr=1"
       "--ssl=gnutls"
       "--jabber=1"
       "--twitter=0"
       "--purple=1"
       "--pidfile=/var/lib/bitlbee/bitlbee.pid"];
       }))
  ];

services.bitlbee.enable = true;

when I execute nixos-rebuild switch I can see that the bitlbee is
compiled with purple support, but after connecting to bitlbee it seems
that purple's protocols are not supported. Does the line
services.bitlbee.enable = true installs the normal version? should I
create a new service?

thanks,

Stu
