<abrahma> Hi, I'm interested in getting Emacs 27 installed on an Ubuntu system where I'm using nixpkgs
<abrahma> I see I need to add an "overlay" somehow, to `~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays`
<abrahma> But what exactly should that overlay _contain_ ?
<abrahma> Googling around shows me a template that starts with
<abrahma> ```
<abrahma> self: super: {
<aterius1> I have something like this
<abrahma> ...
<abrahma> but ... the overlay in https://github.com/nix-community/emacs-overlay doesn't match this
<abrahma> Thanks!
<aterius1> You can use `nix-prefetch-github nix-community emacs-overlay` to get the right rev/sha
<aterius1> I personally use niv to manage my versions
<aterius1> so it looks like this for me
<abrahma> Sorry for the noobishness here, but ... I first (1) copy this into (say) `~/.config/nixpgs/overlays/emacs.nix` and then (2) run `nix-prefetch-github nix-community emacs-overlay` ?
<aterius1> and then copy/paste the rev sha over what's already there to get the latest

<abrahma> I created the overlay, but how do I _use_ it?
<abrahma> When I search for `emacs` I get the same matches I was getting earlier ...
<abrahma> i.e how do I specifically build Emacs v27 from this ?
<aterius1> emacsUnstable
<abrahma> I guess I needed to start at the basics :-)
<abrahma> This is what finally worked for me:
<abrahma> (1) clone https://github.com/nix-community/emacs-overlay under ~/.configs/nixpkgs/overlay/
<aterius1> That works too
<abrahma> (2) nix-env -i -A nixpkgs.emacsGit-nox
<aterius1> it should recursively import
<aterius1> That won't be 27, that would be 28
<abrahma> Yikes ... does emacsGit correspond to 28, and emacsUnstable to 27 ?
<abrahma> Anyway, let's see how this install goes (wouldn't necessarily mind 28 unless it breaks something) ... fingers crossed
<abrahma> Thanks for all the pointers, learned a lot today :-)
<aterius1> `emacsGit is built from the latest master branch and emacsUnstable is built from the latest tag.`
<aterius1> no problem, you should add cachix so you don't have to build anything
