[Nix-dev] Hydra custom package build, mkFakeDerivation and .override

Folks, 

We set up a local hydra instance, and a custom set of
packages as describe here:
http://sandervanderburg.blogspot.com/2014/07/managing-private-nix-packages-outside.html
We
set up a jobset to build it ... and generate a channel. 

However there
a marked difference in package generated by hydra.nixos.org and hours is
that all of our package are wrapped in mkFakeDerivation found here:
https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/blob/a91cbefda07f068871bc5decc7d7e2ede79d1b83/src/lib/Hydra/View/NixExprs.pm#L34


This also presents a problem as the .override attribute is not
available. Can someone please advise on what do and why the difference?
