Refactor and simplify nix sources #466

Closed romanofski closed 2 years ago

romanofski commented 2 years ago

We currently define sources to build purebred in nix in different files. Both keep around redundant information found in both. Since nix flakes is still experimental, we didn't want to make nix develop the default when building the nix package. So we kept the older nix-build around which also defined overlays etc.

Instead simplify everything by defining a single source of truth in overlays which is then used by two methods of building in nix: the old nix-build way and the newer nix build.

@romanofski merge this when you feel it's ready. I lack the knowledge of nix to provide any feedback at all.

I disabled the normal nix build for now causing cabal install to not be able to find word-wrap even tho it's built. Not exactly sure what causes the difference to the new method of building nix packages (nix flake), but I'm also a bit over it so I merge this now and may have a look into this later.
