The "legacy" in `legacyPackages` doesn't imply that the packages exposed through this attribute are "legacy" packages. Instead, `legacyPackages` is used here as a substitute attribute name for `packages`. The problem with `packages` is that it makes operations like `nix flake show nixpkgs` unusably slow due to the sheer number of packages the Nix CLI needs to evaluate. But when the Nix CLI sees a `legacyPackages` attribute it displays `omitted` instead of evaluating all packages, which keeps `nix flake show` on Nixpkgs reasonably fast, though less information rich. The reason why finding the tree structure of `legacyPackages` is slow, is that for each attribute in the tree, it is necessary to check whether the attribute value is a package or a package set that needs further evaluation. Evaluating the attribute value tends to require a significant amount of computation, even considering lazy evaluation. */ legacyPackages = forAllSystems (system: (import ./. { inherit system; }).extend (final: prev: { lib = prev.lib.extend libVersionInfoOverlay; }) ); /** Optional modules that can be imported into a NixOS configuration.
