The nixpkgs repository has several utility functions to manipulate Nix expressions.

<section xml:id="sec-pkgs-overridePackages">
|

<title>pkgs.overridePackages</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
This function inside the nixpkgs expression (<varname>pkgs</varname>)
|
|
can be used to override the set of packages itself.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Warning: this function is expensive and must not be used from within
|
|
the nixpkgs repository.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Example usage:
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>let
|
|
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
|
|
newpkgs = pkgs.overridePackages (self: super: {
|
|
foo = super.foo.override { ... };
|
|
};
|
|
in ...</programlisting>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The resulting <varname>newpkgs</varname> will have the new <varname>foo</varname>
|
|
expression, and all other expressions depending on <varname>foo</varname> will also
|
|
use the new <varname>foo</varname> expression.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The behavior of this function is similar to <link
|
|
linkend="sec-modify-via-packageOverrides">config.packageOverrides</link>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The <varname>self</varname> parameter refers to the final package set with the
|
|
applied overrides. Using this parameter may lead to infinite recursion if not
|
|
used consciously.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The <varname>super</varname> parameter refers to the old package set.
|
|
It's equivalent to <varname>pkgs</varname> in the above example.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Note that in previous versions of nixpkgs, this method replaced any changes from <link
|
|
linkend="sec-modify-via-packageOverrides">config.packageOverrides</link>,
|
|
along with that from previous calls if this function was called repeatedly.
|
|
Now those previous changes will be preserved so this function can be "chained" meaningfully.
|
|
To recover the old behavior, make sure <varname>config.packageOverrides<varname> is unset,
|
|
and call this only once off a "freshly" imported nixpkgs:
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>let
|
|
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { config: {}; };
|
|
newpkgs = pkgs.overridePackages ...;
|
|
in ...</programlisting>
|
|
</para>

<title><pkg>.override</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The function <varname>override</varname> is usually available for all the
|
|
derivations in the nixpkgs expression (<varname>pkgs</varname>).

It is used to override the arguments passed to a function.

<programlisting>pkgs.foo.override { arg1 = val1; arg2 = val2; ... }</programlisting>

<programlisting>pkgs.overridePackages (self: super: {

</para>

|
|
|
<para>
|
|
In the first example, <varname>pkgs.foo</varname> is the result of a function call
|
|
with some default arguments, usually a derivation.
|
|
Using <varname>pkgs.foo.override</varname> will call the same function with
|
|
the given new arguments.

|
|
<warning>
|
|
<para>Do not use this function in Nixpkgs as it evaluates a Derivation
|
|
before modifying it, which breaks package abstraction and removes
|
|
error-checking of function arguments. In addition, this
|
|
evaluation-per-function application incurs a performance penalty,
|
|
which can become a problem if many overrides are used.
|
|
It is only intended for ad-hoc customisation, such as in
|
|
<filename>~/.nixpkgs/config.nix</filename>.
|
|
</para>

|
</warning>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The function <varname>overrideDerivation</varname> creates a new derivation
|
|
based on an existing one by overriding the original's attributes with
|
|
the attribute set produced by the specified function.
|
|
This function is available on all
|
|
derivations defined using the <varname>makeOverridable</varname> function.
|
|
Most standard derivation-producing functions, such as
|
|
<varname>stdenv.mkDerivation</varname>, are defined using this
|
|
function, which means most packages in the nixpkgs expression,
|
|
<varname>pkgs</varname>, have this function.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Example usage:
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>mySed = pkgs.gnused.overrideDerivation (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 = [];
|
|
});</programlisting>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
In the above example, the <varname>name</varname>, <varname>src</varname>,
|
|
and <varname>patches</varname> of the derivation will be overridden, while
|
|
all other attributes will be retained from the original derivation.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The argument <varname>oldAttrs</varname> is used to refer to the attribute set of
|
|
the original derivation.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<note>
|
|
<para>
|
|
A package's attributes are evaluated *before* being modified by
|
|
the <varname>overrideDerivation</varname> function.
|
|
For example, the <varname>name</varname> attribute reference
|
|
in <varname>url = "mirror://gnu/hello/${name}.tar.gz";</varname>
|
|
is filled-in *before* the <varname>overrideDerivation</varname> function
|
|
modifies the attribute set. This means that overriding the
|
|
<varname>name</varname> attribute, in this example, *will not* change the
|
|
value of the <varname>url</varname> attribute. Instead, we need to override
|
|
both the <varname>name</varname> *and* <varname>url</varname> attributes.

|
|
<para>
|
|
The function <varname>lib.makeOverridable</varname> is used to make the result
|
|
of a function easily customizable. This utility only makes sense for functions
|
|
that accept an argument set and return an attribute set.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Example usage:
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>f = { a, b }: { result = a+b; }
|
|
c = lib.makeOverridable f { a = 1; b = 2; }</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The variable <varname>c</varname> is the value of the <varname>f</varname> function
|
|
applied with some default arguments. Hence the value of <varname>c.result</varname>
|
|
is <literal>3</literal>, in this example.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The variable <varname>c</varname> however also has some additional functions, like
|
|
<link linkend="sec-pkg-override">c.override</link> which can be used to
|
|
override the default arguments. In this example the value of
|
|
<varname>(c.override { a = 4; }).result</varname> is 6.

<para>
|
|
This function is analogous to the <command>docker export</command> command,
|
|
in that can used to flatten a Docker image that contains multiple layers.
|
|
It is in fact the result of the merge of all the layers of the image.
|
|
As such, the result is suitable for being imported in Docker
|
|
with <command>docker import</command>.
|
|
</para>

|
|
<note>
|
|
<para>
|

Using this function requires the <literal>kvm</literal>
|
|
device to be available.

<para>

The parameters of <varname>exportImage</varname> are the following:

</para>

<example xml:id='ex-dockerTools-exportImage'><title>Docker export</title>
|

<programlisting>
|

fromImage = someLayeredImage;

}

<para>
|
|
The parameters relative to the base image have the same synopsis as
|
|
described in <xref linkend='ssec-pkgs-dockerTools-buildImage'/>, except that
|
|
<varname>fromImage</varname> is the only required argument in this case.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The <varname>name</varname> argument is the name of the derivation output,
|
|
which defaults to <varname>fromImage.name</varname>.

<section xml:id="ssec-pkgs-dockerTools-shadowSetup">
|
|
<title>shadowSetup</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
This constant string is a helper for setting up the base files for managing
|
|
users and groups, only if such files don't exist already.
|
|
It is suitable for being used in a
|
|
<varname>runAsRoot</varname> <xref linkend='ex-dockerTools-buildImage-runAsRoot'/> script for cases like
|
|
in the example below:
|
|
</para>

<example xml:id='ex-dockerTools-shadowSetup'><title>Shadow base files</title>

${shadowSetup}

useradd -r -g redis redis
|

mkdir /data

chown redis:redis /data
|
|
'';

}
|

</programlisting>

</example>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Creating base files like <literal>/etc/passwd</literal> or
|
|
<literal>/etc/login.defs</literal> are necessary for shadow-utils to
|
|
manipulate users and groups.
