In order to solve #1924, I propose to no longer enable nix by default when a nix: section is present in the configuration.
This allows package developers to propose a nix configuration (list of nix packages) for their packages without forcing the use of nix. I.e. now, if the user has a
nix.enable
flag set tofalse
in their$HOME/.stack/config.yaml
, this setting will not be overriden by the presence of a nix package list.
