be set from the NixOS configuration. For instance, you can say
nixpkgs.config.firefox.enableGeckoMediaPlayer = true;
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.firefox ];
but the more interesting application is to apply global overrides to
Nixpkgs throughout NixOS, e.g.
nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides = pkgs:
{ glibc = pkgs.glibc27;
gcc = pkgs.gcc42;
};
would build the whole system with Glibc 2.7 and GCC 4.2. (There are
some issues with "useFromStdenv" in all-packages.nix that need to be
fixed for packages in the stdenv bootstrap though.)
The implementation of this option is kind of evil though due to the
need to prevent a circularity between the evaluation of
nixpkgs.config and the "pkgs" module argument.
