# composableDerivation basically mixes these features:
|
|
# - fix function
|
|
# - mergeAttrBy
|
|
# - provides shortcuts for "options" such as "--enable-foo" and adding
|
|
# buildInputs, see php example
|
|
#
|
|
# It predates styles which are common today, such as
|
|
# * the config attr
|
|
# * mkDerivation.override feature
|
|
# * overrideDerivation (lib/customization.nix)
|
|
#
|
|
# Some of the most more important usage examples (which could be rewritten if it was important):
|
|
# * php
|
|
# * postgis
|
|
# * vim_configurable
|
|
#
|
|
# A minimal example illustrating most features would look like this:
|
|
# let base = composableDerivation { (fixed: let inherit (fixed.fixed) name in {
|
|
# src = fetchurl {
|
|
# }
|
|
# buildInputs = [A];
|
|
# preConfigre = "echo ${name}";
|
|
# # attention, "name" attr is missing, thus you cannot instantiate "base".
|
|
# }
|
|
# in {
|
|
# # These all add name attribute, thus you can instantiate those:
|
|
# v1 = base.merge ({ name = "foo-add-B"; buildInputs = [B]; }); // B gets merged into buildInputs
|
|
# v2 = base.merge ({ name = "mix-in-pre-configure-lines" preConfigre = ""; });
|
|
# v3 = base.replace ({ name = "foo-no-A-only-B;" buildInputs = [B]; });
|
|
# }
|
|
#
|
|
# So yes, you can think about it being something like nixos modules, and
|
|
# you'd be merging "features" in one at a time using .merge or .replace
|
|
# Thanks Shea for telling me that I rethink the documentation ..
|
|
#
|
|
# issues:
|
|
# * its complicated to understand
|
|
# * some "features" such as exact merge behaviour are buried in mergeAttrBy
|
|
# and defaultOverridableDelayableArgs assuming the default behaviour does
|
|
# the right thing in the common case
|
|
# * Eelco once said using such fix style functions are slow to evaluate
|
|
# * Too quick & dirty. Hard to understand for others. The benefit was that
|
|
# you were able to create a kernel builder like base derivation and replace
|
|
# / add patches the way you want without having to declare function arguments
|
|
#
|
|
# nice features:
|
|
# declaring "optional features" is modular. For instance:
|
|
# flags.curl = {
|
|
# configureFlags = ["--with-curl=${curl.dev}" "--with-curlwrappers"];
|
|
# buildInputs = [curl openssl];
|
|
# };
|
|
# flags.other = { .. }
|
|
# (Example taken from PHP)
|
|
#
|
|
# alternative styles / related features:
|
|
# * Eg see function supporting building the kernel
|
|
# * versionedDerivation (discussion about this is still going on - or ended)
|
|
# * composedArgsAndFun
|
|
# * mkDerivation.override
|
|
# * overrideDerivation
|
|
# * using { .., *Support ? false }: like configurable options.
|
|
# To find those examples use grep
|
|
#
|
|
# To sum up: It exists for historical reasons - and for most commonly used
|
|
# tasks the alternatives should be used
|
|
#
|
|
# If you have questions about this code ping Marc Weber.
