I think it has to do with infinite recursion somewhere
<gchristensen>
at least ... that is the only time I've seen nix segfault
<dhess>
yeah it seems like it, but it works fine on NixOS
<dhess>
so in that repo, the overlays/ subdir contains the actual .nix files that define the overlay. If I import each one of those as a path, e.g., (import ../../../git/nixpkgs-quixoftic/overlays/foo.nix), it works fine
<dhess>
but as soon as I try to use the "fetch-github" builtin with the sha256 and ref, it segfaults
<dhess>
In all of my projects I do all kinds of fetch-github-style overlays using refs, all layered on top of each other, and those work fine. It's just my nix-env that segfaults when I try to define my nix-env overlay that way
<dhess>
I can only get nix-env to work with local filesystem paths
<dhess>
nix-env/nix-build etc, any nix tool that I'm running interactively
<dhess>
actually it's been awhile since I tried this on NixOS. Maybe it's just a nix-env issue and not specific to Darwin

i haven't been able to upgrade to master on unstable since Dec 8 now
<johnw>
on unstable there are Haskell problem (cereal and aeson won't build), and on master libglade won't build plus other problem
<johnw>
i'll have to track these all down and turn them into issues
<LnL>
oh man :/
<LnL>
I wonder, is there something like git bisect but with buckets so you can try to find a stable point with multiple issues
