{ lib }: rec { /* `overrideDerivation drv f` takes a derivation (i.e., the result of a call to the builtin function `derivation`) and returns a new derivation in which the attributes of the original are overridden according to the function `f`. The function `f` is called with the original derivation attributes. `overrideDerivation` allows certain "ad-hoc" customisation scenarios (e.g. in ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix). For instance, if you want to "patch" the derivation returned by a package function in Nixpkgs to build another version than what the function itself provides, you can do something like this: mySed = overrideDerivation pkgs.gnused (oldAttrs: { name = "sed-4.2.2-pre"; src = fetchurl { url = ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/sed/sed-4.2.2-pre.tar.bz2; sha256 = "11nq06d131y4wmf3drm0yk502d2xc6n5qy82cg88rb9nqd2lj41k"; }; patches = []; }); For another application, see build-support/vm, where this function is used to build arbitrary derivations inside a QEMU virtual machine. Note that in order to preserve evaluation errors, the new derivation's outPath depends on the old one's, which means that this function cannot be used in circular situations when the old derivation also depends on the new one. You should in general prefer `drv.overrideAttrs` over this function; see the nixpkgs manual for more information on overriding. */ overrideDerivation = drv: f: let newDrv = derivation (drv.drvAttrs // (f drv)); in lib.flip (extendDerivation (builtins.seq drv.drvPath true)) newDrv ( { meta = drv.meta or {}; passthru = if drv ? passthru then drv.passthru else {}; } // (drv.passthru or {}) // lib.optionalAttrs (drv ? __spliced) { __spliced = {} // (lib.mapAttrs (_: sDrv: overrideDerivation sDrv f) drv.__spliced); }); /* `makeOverridable` takes a function from attribute set to attribute set and injects `override` attribute which can be used to override arguments of the function. nix-repl> x = {a, b}: { result = a + b; } nix-repl> y = lib.makeOverridable x { a = 1; b = 2; } nix-repl> y { override = «lambda»; overrideDerivation = «lambda»; result = 3; } nix-repl> y.override { a = 10; } { override = «lambda»; overrideDerivation = «lambda»; result = 12; } Please refer to "Nixpkgs Contributors Guide" section ".overrideDerivation" to learn about `overrideDerivation` and caveats related to its use. */ makeOverridable = f: origArgs: let result = f origArgs; # Creates a functor with the same arguments as f copyArgs = g: lib.setFunctionArgs g (lib.functionArgs f); # Changes the original arguments with (potentially a function that returns) a set of new attributes overrideWith = newArgs: origArgs // (if lib.isFunction newArgs then newArgs origArgs else newArgs); # Re-call the function but with different arguments overrideArgs = copyArgs (newArgs: makeOverridable f (overrideWith newArgs)); # Change the result of the function call by applying g to it overrideResult = g: makeOverridable (copyArgs (args: g (f args))) origArgs; in if builtins.isAttrs result then result // { override = overrideArgs; overrideDerivation = fdrv: overrideResult (x: overrideDerivation x fdrv); ${if result ? overrideAttrs then "overrideAttrs" else null} = fdrv: overrideResult (x: x.overrideAttrs fdrv); } else if lib.isFunction result then # Transform the result into a functor while propagating its arguments lib.setFunctionArgs result (lib.functionArgs result) // { override = overrideArgs; } else result; /* Call the package function in the file `fn` with the required arguments automatically.
