 # Nix Packages
 
 An assortment of Nix packages not in the official collection.
+These are purposefully written without support for [overriding](https://nixos.org/guides/nix-pills/17-nixpkgs-overriding-packages) in order to minimise complexity.
+If you want to build upon them I encourage you to fork this repository.
