I'm using Nix on Ubuntu to have more modern versions of some packages, one of them being git. When I'm run
nix-env -u
, this is what happens:
% nix-env -u --dry-run '*'
(dry run; not doing anything)
upgrading git-1.8.5.4' to
git-1.9.0-full'
This is not what I want - I prefer the plain version git-1.9.0
over the -full
version. I know I can manually upgrade to the plain version with nix-env -i git-1.9.0
, but is there a way to make nix-env -u
to do what I want?
