usage example creating a derivation installing ruby, sup and a lib:
packageOverrides = {
rubyCollection = collection {
name = "ruby";
list = let l = rubyLibs; in
[ pkgs.ruby l.chronic l.sup ];
};
}
packageOverrides = {
rubyCollection = collection {
name = "ruby";
list = let l = rubyLibs; in
[ pkgs.ruby l.chronic l.sup ];
};
}
Warning: Using this function, it is possible to install packages
into one profile that have file collisions, and these will not be
detected.
