Motivation for this change
Sometimes it's needed to override parts of
vim_configurable
, forinstance when using ENSIME (http://ensime.github.io/), in this case you
need a Python interpreter and the modules
sexpdata
andwebsocket_client
.However overriding
vim_configurable
is quite hard as we runvimUtils.makeCustomizable
over the default comming fromconfigurable.nix
. Therefore it's necessary to copy the code fromall-packages.nix
and alter the parts you need: https://nixos.org/nix-dev/2017-April/023364.htmlIn order to simplify overriding
vim_configurable
I added anoverride
and anoverrideAttrs
function tovimutils.makeCustomizable
to ensure that the customization capabilities won't be lost after
altering the derivation.
Now it's possible to write expressions like this without evaluation
