    Is this sort of lag the nature of package managers that will inherently be part of NixOS and nixpk?

      While we were talking I updated lemmy-server using overrideAttrs for my own use. It’s honestly not that hard. You change the commit, specify some random incorrect hashes, build it, nix screams at you that the hash is incorrect (and generously provides the correct one), put the correct hash, and build again. Done.
