Tom's yi config

This is my configuration for yi-editor

I use nix to manage it, though it will likely build using cabal too.

Building

Use update_yi_nix.sh to generate a yi.nix file from yi.cabal.

Run nix-build to build yi. Nix will give you a symlink called result, so ./result/bin/yi will be the yi that you just built.

Installing

It's probably a good idea to make sure it builds first, especially since that won't really waste time or make a mess.

If you feel like skipping that part, you still need a yi.nix, so do that part.

add the following to your .config/nixpkgs/config.nix:

{
  packageOverrides = pkgs: {
    yi = pkgs.callPackage path/to/this/folder/default.nix {};
  };
}

Now you can nix-env -i yi, but get this config instead of the default nix provides.
