I've had trouble with Spacemacs not behaving the same on different computers, both with identical configurations, only brought to convergence back again after a =git clean -fdx= inside =~/.emacs.d/=. The ideal solution would be managing Emacs packages with Nix itself. After a quick search I did found that [[https://nixos.org/nixos/manual/index.html#module-services-emacs-adding-packages][there is support for Emacs packages in Nix]]. So far I was only aware of [[https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Application-Setup.html#Emacs-Packages][Guix support for Emacs packages]]. |
