- pkgs/by-name/sw/switch-to-configuration-ng: File shell.nix at line 2 contains the path expression "../../../.." which may point outside the directory of that package.
This is undesirable because it creates dependencies between internal paths, making it harder to reorganise Nixpkgs in the future.
Alternatives include:
- If you are creating a new version of a package with a common file between versions, consider following the recommendation in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs/by-name#recommendation-for-new-packages-with-multiple-versions.
- If the path being referenced could be considered a stable interface with multiple uses, consider exposing it via a `pkgs` attribute, then taking it as a attribute argument in package.nix.
- If the path being referenced is internal and has multiple uses, consider passing the file as an explicit `callPackage` argument in `pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix`.
- If the path being referenced is internal and will need to be modified independently of the original, consider copying it into the pkgs/by-name/sw/switch-to-configuration-ng directory.
The nix-shell points to the toplevel of nixpkgs, so it should not produce this error.
