I don't mind, but why did you switch to pkgs/by-name

Do we need to pin nixos-unstable with this change? I'm confused as to why that's still necessary. Pros and cons?

To be clear, I'm just confused about that conceptually, in general. I don't understand the implications.

Other an the questions I posed above, I think this simplifies things in a good way, and also makes our packages look more similar to nixpkgs which has benefits. I tested building unetd, and it worked when I did nix-build -A pkgs.unetd.

When added as a channel I have to reference like this nix-env -iA wciitpkgs.pkgs.unetd, and that works. However I can't seem to get anything to work with nix-shell -p.

Channel was added like this:
nix-channel --add "https://git.informatics.coop/nix/wciitpkgs/archive/simple.tar.gz" wciitpkgs

We could remove the nixpkgs pin, I left it pinned at where I found it. It's useful to have a reference but if we start building our own packages we'll need to rethink how we manage it.

It's best to install packages from here as an overlay on to the nixpkgs you already have.

There is a note on the wiki about using ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays to install overlays but I've not done it that way.
