The motivation for this change is to allow things like the
following derivation, which wraps the debian-packaged
hello binary.
let nixpkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
stdenv = nixpkgs.stdenv;
in rec {
dumb-hello = stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "dumb-hello";
builder = ./builder.sh;
dpkg = nixpkgs.dpkg;
src = nixpkgs.fetchurl {
url = "http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/h/hello-traditional/hello-traditional_2.9-2_amd64.deb";
md5 = "f5f3c28b65221dae44dda6f242c23316";
};
};
full-hello = nixpkgs.buildFHSUserEnv {
name = "full-hello";
targetPkgs = pkgs: [ dumb-hello ];
multiPkgs = pkgs: [ pkgs.dpkg ];
runScript = "hello";
};
}
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for Nix package manager.
