Note that the PR got merged into nixpkgs now, but hasn't made it's way forward (see https://nixpk.gs/pr-tracker.html?pr=236295), so that's why you need to do the override for now Also, a fix for the issue with the migrations (if still occuring) has been merged yesterday, but it's not in any release yet, and especially not in nixpkgs. You could most likely get around it by using overrideAttrs to change the source to make it build from a newer commit.
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
overrideAttrsfor 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.That kinda defeats the purpose of the hash.
