+* README for D related dev shells with overlays
+** in emacs write (tangle) this (org) file for its output
+
+This org file: "dlang-nix-flakes.org" when using emacs and saved (tangling output)
+it creates and writes output to the subdirectory path:
+
+ ./dlang-nix-flakes
+
+and writes output there, this is to prevent accidentally writing over anything
+in the directory in which the dlang-nix-flakes.org file happens to be saved.
+
+./dlang-nix-flakes becomes your nix flake work directory.
+
+** dlang-nix-flakes.org
+
+the file dlang-nix-flakes.org contains nix related files for producing more
+recent versions of the dlang compiler and build tools: ldc, dub and dtools, than
+exist in nixpkgs at the time of publishing, in some cases with additional fixes.

+** nixpkgs
+
+It is possible to work directly against a local copy of nixpkgs. To do so you
+would clone nixpkgs and point to the local nixpkgs as your build source.
+
+git clone --depth=1 --branch master https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs nixpkgs
+
+- ./nixpkgs/pkgs/development/compilers/ldc
+- ./nixpkgs/pkgs/development/compilers/dmd
+- ./nixpkgs/pkgs/development/tools/build-managers/dub
+- ./nixpkgs/pkgs/development/tools/dtools
+
+- ./nixpkgs/pkgs/development/compilers/gcc
+
+Note the overlays if copied to the nixpkgs path locations should work as they do
+in the overlay, with a pointer to the cloned nixpkgs as nixpkgs repository
+source. In fact the starting point for the overlays was to take verbatim what
+was in nixpkgs and then to update and fix where necessary those packages.
+
+It is possible to compare the changes made by the overlays here directly against
+what is currently available in nixpkgs.
