@corngood corngood commented Jan 8, 2026

Motivation

@Ericson2314 I believe this is what we discussed as a goal for after the nixpkgs stuff lands.

Context

Currently this works:

nix build .#hydraJobs.buildCross.nix-everything.x86_64-cygwin.x86_64-linux --override-input nixpkgs github:corngood/nixpkgs/cygwin-wip

All the nixpkgs changes should be in staging. I'll leave this draft until we have a nixpkgs where it builds.

The patch being removed here is needed for cygwin. So how should we handle lowdown? Perhaps we could make this override conditional on the version being <= 2.0.2?
