Dwarf Fortress The wrapper script works by creating an image of the distribution in the users home directory (defaulting to $HOME/.config/df_linux). This is done because the program expects to write state into it's own distribution. Better ideas are welcome! What further is needed is to allow users to configure the init. One way is to use nix-config to apply patches to the init.txt file, though this would break sharing of the package between different users. svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=24538

Subject: Re: Dwarf Fortress Redistribution for NixOS
Sure, that redistribution is fine. I think I've handled the movie
issue for next time now. Thanks for the heads up on that.
