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.
