- []{#ssec-gnome-hooks-gdk-pixbuf} `gdk-pixbuf` setup hook will populate `GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE` with the path to biggest `loaders.cache` file from the dependencies containing [GdkPixbuf loaders](ssec-gnome-gdk-pixbuf-loaders). This works fine when there are only two packages containing loaders (`gdk-pixbuf` and e.g. `librsvg`) – it will choose the second one, reasonably expecting that it will be bigger since it describes extra loader in addition to the default ones. But when there are more than two loader packages, this logic will break. One possible solution would be constructing a custom cache file for each package containing a program like `services/x11/gdk-pixbuf.nix` NixOS module does. `wrapGAppsHook` copies the `GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE` environment variable into the produced wrapper.

## Adding new plugins to nixpkgs {#adding-new-plugins-to-nixpkgs}
Nix expressions for Vim plugins are stored in [pkgs/misc/vim-plugins](/pkgs/misc/vim-plugins). For the vast majority of plugins, Nix expressions are automatically generated by running [`./update.py`](/pkgs/misc/vim-plugins/update.py). This creates a [generated.nix](/pkgs/misc/vim-plugins/generated.nix) file based on the plugins listed in [vim-plugin-names](/pkgs/misc/vim-plugins/vim-plugin-names). Plugins are listed in alphabetical order in `vim-plugin-names` using the format `[github username]/[repository]@[gitref]`. For example https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree becomes `scrooloose/nerdtree`.

Some plugins require overrides in order to function properly. Overrides are placed in [overrides.nix](/pkgs/misc/vim-plugins/overrides.nix). Overrides are most often required when a plugin requires some dependencies, or extra steps are required during the build process. For example `deoplete-fish` requires both `deoplete-nvim` and `vim-fish`, and so the following override was added:
