[Nix-dev] cannot install cinnamon-session

[Kirill Elagin]

Cinnamon is just not there in 13.10.
I'm not really sure that mixing revisions as you do (having 13.10 system
and installing
some packages from master) is safe…
It might be better to switch to unstable and do it properly, by adding
cinnamon to systemPackages.
Or, if you want, you can maintain your local fork of release-13.10 with
cinnamon expression backported.
This should work fine as cinnamon doesn't really have any hooks in NixOS.
