The `overrideScope` bound by `makeScope` (via special `callPackage`)
took an override in the form `super: self { … }`. But this is
dangerously close to the `self: super { … }` form used by *everything*
else, even other definitions of `overrideScope`! Since that
implementation did not even share any code either until I changed it
recently in 3cf43547f4, this inconsistency
is almost certainly an oversight and not intentional.
Unfortunately, just as the inconstency is hard to debug if one just
assumes the conventional order, any sudden fix would break existing
overrides in the same hard-to-debug way. So instead of changing the
definition a new `overrideScope'` with the conventional order is added,
and old `overrideScope` deprecated with a warning saying to use
`overrideScope'` instead. That will hopefully get people to stop using
`overrideScope`, freeing our hand to change or remove it in the future.
Among other things, this will allow *2nix tools to output plain data
while still being composable with the traditional
callPackage/.override interfaces.
In 8d76eff, @Ericson2314 changed the representation of the value that
`findInputs` generated from a whitespace-separated bunch strings to an
actual array of strings.
Expressions that *consume* that value, however, also needed to be
changed to iterate over all the contents of the array, else they would
only select the first value, which turns out to be somewhat limiting.
Fixes #27873
This reverts commit da68127737, reversing
changes made to 2ba494b728.
These changes are reverted because they cause an incompatibility which
they should not.
"emacsWrapper" replaces emacsWithPackages. In addition to "packagesFun",
emacsWrapper has an optional variable called "execStart". execStart can
be used to append elisp to the default site-start.el script. This is
useful for providing a way to load a user's .emacs.d/init.el
file. "emacsWithPackages" is implemented with emacsWrapper for
convenience and compatability.
Move all the dependencies to their own derivation, so that we don't publish all
of them if the wrapper is installed in a profile.
The previous solution just moved them to a custom directory to avoid conflicts,
this refactors that and completely hides them, while preserving the desired
improvement of adding only one directory to each of the emacs search paths
This is to avoid unwanted side effects when installing a wrapped emacs in the environment:
* All executables in the dependencies become available in the user environment
* All site-lisp binaries in the dependencies become accessible to unwrapped emacs
Also, both bin and site-lisp would generate conflicts so installing a wrapped emacs becomes really cumbersome
Fixes #10819. emacsWithPackages will know its own package set. This
requires it to be in a package set, rather than at the top level, so it
lives in emacsPackagesNg.
Emacs will call package-initialize itself, if required, or the user will
call it in their initialization file. There is no reason to call it in
the wrapper and doing so only increases start-up time.
