implement overlays #9

Open dminca opened 5 months ago

dminca commented 5 months ago

Establish a mechanism to perform overlaying.

First struggle I had was with pkgs.vimPlugins.coc-explorer where upstream released a fix ( https://github.com/weirongxu/coc-explorer/issues/586 ) for a critical missing feature and need to bring this over before it gets pushed to nixpkgs

Another candidate is pkgs.kluctl which is an older version in nixpkgs even though I'm using nixpkgs-unstable

On a separate note, if some want to wait until the patches are released to nixpkgs-unstable, a PR must be available, then it can be verified if merged here → https://nixpk.gs/pr-tracker.html?pr=319882
