Motivation for this change
I'd like to have an
environment.etc
alternative for/opt
folder. Use case: a way to pin some specific folders that are generated by Nix (in my particular use case this is used to integrate with Intellij Idea and multiple JDK's):The configuration is mostly copy-pasted from etc.nix.
One issue is that /opt folder is created without read permissions (why!?!??!), as a workaround I added
chmod
within the script. This should probably be handled as whenever /opt folder is generated (but then we run into other issues like migrating from older generations. TL;DR: I don't know what is an appropriate way to handle it)Things done
