I am trying to install nilfs-utils.
According to the wiki ( http://nixos.org/wiki/Install/remove_software ), I can
install a package by 'nix-env -i <package> for one user, or I can install it
for all users by adding it to environment.systemPackages . The second way does
not work for me for nilfs-utils. If I put
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
wget httpfs2
nilfs-utils
];
in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix, then nix complains:
$ nixos-rebuild build
building Nix...
building the system configuration...
error: undefined variable `nilfs-utils'
but other packages like wget or httpfs2 are fine.
Also 'nix-env -i nilfs-utils' works fine.
What is wrong with putting nilfs-utils in environment.systemPackages ?
Does it have something to do with the hyphen in the name, or is nilfs-utils a
special kind of package ? In the latter case, how can one tell ?
How can it be installed for all users ?
