One thorny issue that everyone using Nix on non-NixOS eventually runs into, is the need to set LOCALE_ARCHIVE. Getting rid of that impurity would be a big step towards "works reliably, everywhere", especially for development environments.
- soraminazuki 4y agoLOCALE_ARCHIVE is required because you would want the locales to be looked up during runtime, not during package creation. So AFAICT removing it isn't an option. You can avoid problems by using the versioned variables though (e.g., LOCALE_ARCHIVE_2_27). If you use Home Manager, it would do the right thing for you.
