#+title: I never thought I'd have to do this, but here we are
#+author: Emmet
Since I use =nixpkgs-unstable= (I am an Arch user by heart), there are some cases where certain packages will break or fail to build (usually due to my extremely customized, non-standard system).
With Nix, I /could/ just rollback everything and wait to update until an upstream patch fixes things, but if it's a quick fix, I'd rather just patch it in immediately so that everything else can stay up to date.
** List of Patches
Here is a list of patches in this directory, along with a more detailed description of why it's necessary:

| [[./emacs-no-version-check.patch][emacs-no-version-check.patch]] | [[https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/35ccb9db3f4f0872f05d175cf53d0e1f87ff09ea][35ccb9d]] breaks my nix-doom-emacs install by preventing home-manager from building. This patches undoes this commit. |
