It's typically a bad idea to edit hackage-packages.nix directly and I would rather not suggest that people do that in the official documentation. The proper way to change the src attribute of an existing derivation is to create an override with overrideSrc function. You can look at the case of git-annex for an example: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/99eeda9fdbd36022694f413f9d79fd626b95e849/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/configuration-common.nix#L62-L68
Thanks, updated! |
