When I designed `mkShell`, I didn't have a good idea of what the output should look like and so decided to make the build fail. In practice, this causes quite a bit of confusion and complications because now the shell cannot be part of a normal package set without failing the CI as well. This commit changes that build phase to record all the build inputs in a file. That way it becomes possible to build it, makes sure that all the build inputs get built as well, and also can be used as a GC root. (by applying the same trick as #95536). The documentation has also been improved to better describe what mkShell does and how to use it. |
