How to override 2 (two) packages in Nixos configuration.nix

问题


I have some package to override in my configuration.nix. So I write the code as follows:

nixpkgs.config = {
  allowUnfree = true;
  packageOverrides = {
    pkgs: rec {
      #mumble + pulse audio
  mumble = pkgs.mumble.override {
        pulseSupport = true;
      };

#kernel for intel ethernet and Testing e1000e package override
    linuxPackages.e1000e = pkgs.linuxPackages.e1000e.overrideDerivation (attrs: {
      name = "e1000e-3.3.3-${config.boot.kernelPackages.kernel.version}";
      src = fetchurl {
        url = "https://www.dropbox.com/s/pxx883hx9763ygn/e1000e-3.3.3.tar.gz?dl=0";
        sha256 = "1s2w54927fsxg0f037h31g3qkajgn5jd0x3yi1chxsyckrcr0x80";
      };
    });
  };
};

};

but when I do nixos-rebuild switch, I got the following error:

syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting '.' or '=', at 37,11

which is at pkgs: rec {...

What did I do wrong? At first I write it by separating the pkgs like this:

packageOverrides = {
  pkgs: with pkgs: {......}; #this is for mumble
  pkgs: rec {...}; #this is for kernel
};

and still got the same error.

The proper solution is:

nixpkgs.config = {

  allowUnfree = true;

  packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in {

    mumble = super.mumble.override { pulseSupport = true; };

    linuxPackages = super.linuxPackages // {
      e1000e = super.linuxPackages.e1000e.overrideDerivation (old: {
        name = "e1000e-3.3.3-${config.boot.kernelPackages.kernel.version}";
        src = fetchurl {
          url = "https://www.dropbox.com/s/pxx883hx9763ygn/e1000e-3.3.3.tar.gz?dl=0";
          sha256 = "1s2w54927fsxg0f037h31g3qkajgn5jd0x3yi1chxsyckrcr0x80";
        };
      });
    };
  };
}

The variable super refers to the Nixpkgs set before the overrides are applied and self refers to it after the overrides are applied. It's important to distinguish these two explicitly to avoid infinite recursions, etc.

Also, note that your override

linuxPackages.e1000e = pkgs.linuxPackages.e1000e.overrideDerivation ...

replaces the linuxPackages attribute set with one that contains nothing but the (overriden) e1000e derivation. That's probably not what you want.
