=== Using custom sources === | |||
If you have a locally stored source tree for dwm with changes already applied, you can use that instead: | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix"> | |||
services.xserver.windowManager.dwm.package = pkgs.dwm.overrideAttrs { | |||
src = ./path/to/dwm/source/tree; | |||
}; | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | </syntaxhighlight> | ||
Alternatively, you can set <code>src</code> to [https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#chap-pkgs-fetchers the output of a fetcher], if you have the source tree stored online. | |||
== Troubleshooting == | |||
If your change does not appear to take effect: | |||
* You must '''not''' have <code>dwm</code> listed anywhere in your <code>environment.systemPackages</code> or <code>home.packages</code>. | |||
* Remove any packages installed via <code>nix-env</code> or <code>nix profile</code>. | |||
* After rebuilding and switching, reboot and check again. | |||
