Flakes Blocker for Org Users: Github ratelimit and need for flake mirroring

You’d have to patch nix, which you can just do. Are you asking how to apply patches to stuff deployed with NixOS (simple, pkgs.nix.overrideAttrs (_: { patches = [ <path-to-patch> ]; }), but where to put that depends on what and how you’re deploying) or just how to patch software in general?

Unfortunately overrideAttrs does not work for nix today (due to nix not being a single source package). nix.package = pkgs.nix.appendPatches is a new way to apply patches: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/375856#issuecomment-2666009897
