The papercut thread - post your small annoyances/confusions here

Python package overlays don’t compose, because they need to use an explicit packageOverrides.

There’s a discussion about it here: Python's packageOverrides isn't composable · Issue #44426 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub

But it doesn’t align with what you would expect using other overlays for system packages. :frowning:

Current workaround seem to be: Use lib.composeExtensions with previous packageOverrides.
