I quickly hotglued this on so I can use the lixFromNixpkgs overlay from the release-2.93 branch in my config. Currently, it doesn't work because lixVersions only contains Lix up to 2.91, and because nix-eval-jobs doesn't support lix being null, which it is for lixFromNixpkgs.

This is only a hotfix, not sure if you wanna merge this. But since I already made it I thought I'd just open a PR either way. I can also expand on it if you'd like.

Just ran into this issue. It would be really nice to be able to use Lix >= 2.92 from Nixpkgs with this module.

For compatibility lixVersions could be kept as a fallback in case lixPackageSets doesn't exist. But I'm not sure if this is necessary. Since NixOS 24.11 is EOL now, all supported releases already have lixPackageSets.

Quick reference to lixVersions implementation:
