How to install a specific version of a package from my configuration.nix

Help

Thanks! It builds without the added amuleDaemon = final.amule-daemon; part. If I add that I get:

error: attribute 'amule-daemon' missing

       at /nix/store/pd0nbbj390bzd2bk27dg84b1rjqxjjmg-source/container-mule.nix:47:25:

           46|           };
           47|           amuleDaemon = final.amule-daemon;
             |                         ^
           48|         })

Another curious thing: amuled is built in the container and exists, but it’s not on the path for some reason?

The rename happened 16 days ago and hasn’t been backported to stable I don’t think, so it being necessary or not depends on what channel you’re on and/or how up to date your system is.

As for amuled being added to your $PATH, enabling the module won’t do that as you can see by looking at how it’s defined in nixpkgs here (note the lack of any environment.systemPackages or similar), and so you’ll have to do that manually.

Oh well, I don’t actually need it on the path anyway. So long as the daemon runs, I’m happy.

Thanks for all the help, guys!
