# How to contribute
Note: contributing implies licensing those contributions
under the terms of [COPYING](../COPYING), which is an MIT-like license.
## Opening issues
* Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free)
* [Submit an issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues) - assuming one does not already exist.
* Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce when it is a bug.
* Include information what version of nixpkgs and Nix are you using (nixos-version or git revision).
## Submitting changes
* Format the commits in the following way:
`(pkg-name | service-name): (from -> to | init at version | refactor | etc)`
Examples:
* nginx: init at 2.0.1
* firefox: 3.0 -> 3.1.1
* hydra service: add bazBaz option
* nginx service: refactor config generation
* `meta.description` should:
* Be capitalized
* Not start with the package name
* Not have a dot at the end
See the nixpkgs manual for more details on how to [Submit changes to nixpkgs](http://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixpkgs/trunk/manual/latest/download-by-type/doc/manual#chap-submitting-changes).

[![Issue Stats](http://www.issuestats.com/github/nixos/nixpkgs/badge/issue?style=flat)](http://www.issuestats.com/github/nixos/nixpkgs)
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the [Nix](https://nixos.org/nix/) package
manager. It is periodically built and tested by the [hydra](http://hydra.nixos.org/)
build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add
[nixpkgs-channels](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git) as a remote:
```
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
```
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. `nixos-16.03` for the latest
release and `nixos-unstable` for the latest successful build of master:
```
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.03
```
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs `master`.
[NixOS](https://nixos.org/nixos/) linux distribution source code is located inside
`nixos/` folder.

<section xml:id="beam-introduction">
<title>Beam Languages (Erlang &amp; Elixir) on Nix</title>
<para>
In this document and related Nix expressions we use the term
<emphasis>Beam</emphasis> to describe the environment. Beam is
the name of the Erlang Virtial Machine and, as far as we know,
from a packaging perspective all languages that run on Beam are
interchangable. The things that do change, like the build
system, are transperant to the users of the package. So we make
no distinction.
</para>

<section xml:id="build-tools-rebar3">
<title>Rebar3</title>
<para>
By default Rebar3 wants to manage it's own dependencies. In the
normal non-Nix, this is perfectly acceptable. In the Nix world it
is not. To support this we have created two versions of rebar3,
<literal>rebar3</literal> and <literal>rebar3-open</literal>. The
<literal>rebar3</literal> version has been patched to remove the
ability to download anything from it. If you are not running it a
nix-shell or a nix-build then its probably not going to work for
you. <literal>rebar3-open</literal> is the normal, un-modified
rebar3. It should work exactly as would any other version of
rebar3. Any Erlang package should rely on
<literal>rebar3</literal> and thats really what you should be
using too.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="build-tools-other">
<title>Mix &amp; Erlang.mk</title>
<para>
Both Mix and Erlang.mk work exactly as you would expect. There
is a bootstrap process that needs to be run for both of
them. However, that is supported by the
<literal>buildMix</literal> and <literal>buildErlangMk</literal> derivations.

<section xml:id="how-to-install-beam-packages">
<title>How to install Beam packages</title>
<para>
Beam packages are not registered in the top level simply because
they are not relevant to the vast majority of Nix users. They are
installable using the <literal>beamPackages</literal> attribute
set.
You can list the avialable packages in the
<literal>beamPackages</literal> with the following command:
</para>
<programlisting>
$ nix-env -f &quot;&lt;nixpkgs&gt;&quot; -qaP -A beamPackages
beamPackages.esqlite esqlite-0.2.1
beamPackages.goldrush goldrush-0.1.7
beamPackages.ibrowse ibrowse-4.2.2
beamPackages.jiffy jiffy-0.14.5
beamPackages.lager lager-3.0.2
beamPackages.meck meck-0.8.3
beamPackages.rebar3-pc pc-1.1.0
</programlisting>
<para>
To install any of those packages into your profile, refer to them by
their attribute path (first column):
</para>
<programlisting>
$ nix-env -f &quot;&lt;nixpkgs&gt;&quot; -iA beamPackages.ibrowse
</programlisting>
<para>
The attribute path of any Beam packages corresponds to the name
of that particular package in Hex or its OTP Application/Release name.

<title>Rebar3 Packages</title>
<para>
There is a Nix functional called
<literal>buildRebar3</literal>. We use this function to make a
derivation that understands how to build the rebar3 project. For
example, the epression we use to build the <link
xlink:href="https://github.com/erlang-nix/hex2nix">hex2nix</link>
project follows.

};
beamDeps = [ ibrowse jsx erlware_commons ];
}
</programlisting>
<para>
The only visible difference between this derivation and
something like <literal>stdenv.mkDerivation</literal> is that we
have added <literal>erlangDeps</literal> to the derivation. If
you add your Beam dependencies here they will be correctly
handled by the system.
</para>
<para>
If your package needs to compile native code via Rebar's port
compilation mechenism. You should add <literal>compilePort =
true;</literal> to the derivation.

Often, all you want to do is be able to access a valid

Updating the Hex packages requires the use of the

modules (usually
<literal>pkgs/development/erlang-modules</literal>). It will
happily dump a file called
<literal>hex-packages.nix</literal>. That file will contain all
the packages that use a recognized build system in Hex. However,
it can't know whether or not all those packages are buildable.
</para>
<para>
To make life easier for our users, it makes good sense to go
ahead and attempt to build all those packages and remove the
ones that don't build. To do that, simply run the command (in
the root of your <literal>nixpkgs</literal> repository). that follows.
</para>
<programlisting>
$ nix-build -A beamPackages
</programlisting>
<para>
That will build every package in

manually remove the ones that fail. Hopefully, someone will
improve <literal>hex2nix</literal> in the future to automate
that.

<section xml:id="sec-package-naming"><title>Package naming</title>
<para>In Nixpkgs, there are generally three different names associated with a package:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>The <varname>name</varname> attribute of the
derivation (excluding the version part). This is what most users
see, in particular when using
<command>nix-env</command>.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The variable name used for the instantiated package
in <filename>all-packages.nix</filename>, and when passing it as a
dependency to other functions. This is what Nix expression authors
see. It can also be used when installing using <command>nix-env
-iA</command>.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The filename for (the directory containing) the Nix
expression.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
Most of the time, these are the same. For instance, the package
<literal>e2fsprogs</literal> has a <varname>name</varname> attribute
<literal>"e2fsprogs-<replaceable>version</replaceable>"</literal>, is
bound to the variable name <varname>e2fsprogs</varname> in
<filename>all-packages.nix</filename>, and the Nix expression is in
<filename>pkgs/os-specific/linux/e2fsprogs/default.nix</filename>.
</para>
<para>There are a few naming guidelines:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>Generally, try to stick to the upstream package
name.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Dont use uppercase letters in the
<literal>name</literal> attribute — e.g.,
<literal>"mplayer-1.0rc2"</literal> instead of
<literal>"MPlayer-1.0rc2"</literal>.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The version part of the <literal>name</literal>
attribute <emphasis>must</emphasis> start with a digit (following a
dash) — e.g., <literal>"hello-0.3-pre-r3910"</literal> instead of
<literal>"hello-svn-r3910"</literal>, as the latter would be seen as
a package named <literal>hello-svn</literal> by
<command>nix-env</command>.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>If package is fetched from git's commit then
the version part of the name <emphasis>must</emphasis> be the date of that
(fetched) commit. The date must be in <literal>"YYYY-MM-DD"</literal> format.
Also add <literal>"git"</literal> to the name - e.g.,
<literal>"pkgname-git-2014-09-23"</literal>.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Dashes in the package name should be preserved
in new variable names, rather than converted to underscores
(which was convention up to around 2013 and most names
still have underscores instead of dashes) — e.g.,
<varname>http-parser</varname> instead of
<varname>http_parser</varname>.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>If there are multiple versions of a package, this
should be reflected in the variable names in
<filename>all-packages.nix</filename>,
e.g. <varname>json-c-0-9</varname> and <varname>json-c-0-11</varname>.
If there is an obvious “default” version, make an attribute like
<literal>json-c = json-c-0-9;</literal>.

</itemizedlist>
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="sec-organisation"><title>File naming and organisation</title>
<para>Names of files and directories should be in lowercase, with
dashes between words — not in camel case. For instance, it should be
<filename>all-packages.nix</filename>, not
<filename>allPackages.nix</filename> or
<filename>AllPackages.nix</filename>.</para>
<section xml:id="sec-hierarchy"><title>Hierarchy</title>
<para>Each package should be stored in its own directory somewhere in
the <filename>pkgs/</filename> tree, i.e. in
<filename>pkgs/<replaceable>category</replaceable>/<replaceable>subcategory</replaceable>/<replaceable>...</replaceable>/<replaceable>pkgname</replaceable></filename>.
Below are some rules for picking the right category for a package.
Many packages fall under several categories; what matters is the
<emphasis>primary</emphasis> purpose of a package. For example, the
<literal>libxml2</literal> package builds both a library and some
tools; but its a library foremost, so it goes under
<filename>pkgs/development/libraries</filename>.</para>
<para>When in doubt, consider refactoring the
<filename>pkgs/</filename> tree, e.g. creating new categories or
splitting up an existing category.</para>

<section xml:id="sec-versioning"><title>Versioning</title>
<para>Because every version of a package in Nixpkgs creates a
potential maintenance burden, old versions of a package should not be
kept unless there is a good reason to do so. For instance, Nixpkgs
contains several versions of GCC because other packages dont build
with the latest version of GCC. Other examples are having both the
latest stable and latest pre-release version of a package, or to keep
several major releases of an application that differ significantly in
functionality.</para>
<para>If there is only one version of a package, its Nix expression
should be named <filename>e2fsprogs/default.nix</filename>. If there
are multiple versions, this should be reflected in the filename,
e.g. <filename>e2fsprogs/1.41.8.nix</filename> and
<filename>e2fsprogs/1.41.9.nix</filename>. The version in the
filename should leave out unnecessary detail. For instance, if we
keep the latest Firefox 2.0.x and 3.5.x versions in Nixpkgs, they
should be named <filename>firefox/2.0.nix</filename> and
<filename>firefox/3.5.nix</filename>, respectively (which, at a given
point, might contain versions <literal>2.0.0.20</literal> and
<literal>3.5.4</literal>). If a version requires many auxiliary
files, you can use a subdirectory for each version,
e.g. <filename>firefox/2.0/default.nix</filename> and
<filename>firefox/3.5/default.nix</filename>.</para>
<para>All versions of a package <emphasis>must</emphasis> be included
in <filename>all-packages.nix</filename> to make sure that they
evaluate correctly.</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="sec-sources"><title>Fetching Sources</title>
<para>There are multiple ways to fetch a package source in nixpkgs. The
general guidline is that you should package sources with a high degree of
availability. Right now there is only one fetcher which has mirroring
support and that is <literal>fetchurl</literal>. Note that you should also
prefer protocols which have a corresponding proxy environment variable.
</para>
<para>You can find many source fetch helpers in <literal>pkgs/build-support/fetch*</literal>.
</para>
<para>In the file <literal>pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix</literal> you can
find fetch helpers, these have names on the form
<literal>fetchFrom*</literal>. The intention of these are to provide
snapshot fetches but using the same api as some of the version controlled
fetchers from <literal>pkgs/build-support/</literal>. As an example going
from bad to good:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Uses <literal>git://</literal> which won't be proxied.
<programlisting>
src = fetchgit {
url = "git://github.com/NixOS/nix.git";
rev = "1f795f9f44607cc5bec70d1300150bfefcef2aae";

}
</programlisting>
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>This is ok, but an archive fetch will still be faster.

<title>Functions reference</title>
<para>
The nixpkgs repository has several utility functions to manipulate Nix expressions.
</para>
<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 &lt;nixpkgs&gt; {};
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>
</section>
<section xml:id="sec-pkg-override">
<title>&lt;pkg&gt;.override</title>
<para>
The function <varname>override</varname> is usually available for all the
derivations in the nixpkgs expression (<varname>pkgs</varname>).
</para>
<para>
It is used to override the arguments passed to a function.
</para>
<para>
Example usages:
<programlisting>pkgs.foo.override { arg1 = val1; arg2 = val2; ... }</programlisting>
<programlisting>pkgs.overridePackages (self: super: {
foo = super.foo.override { barSupport = true ; };

<programlisting>mypkg = pkgs.callPackage ./mypkg.nix {
mydep = pkgs.mydep.override { ... };
})</programlisting>
</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.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="sec-pkg-overrideDerivation">
<title>&lt;pkg&gt;.overrideDerivation</title>
<warning>
<para>Do not use this function in Nixpkgs. Because it breaks
package abstraction and doesnt provide error checking for
function arguments, it is only intended for ad-hoc customisation
(such as in <filename>~/.nixpkgs/config.nix</filename>).</para>
</warning>
<para>
The function <varname>overrideDerivation</varname> is usually available for all the
derivations in the nixpkgs expression (<varname>pkgs</varname>).
</para>
<para>
It is used to create a new derivation by overriding the attributes of
the original derivation according to the given 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 name, src and patches 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>
</section>
<section xml:id="sec-lib-makeOverridable">
<title>lib.makeOverridable</title>
<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>
</section>
<section xml:id="sec-fhs-environments">
<title>buildFHSChrootEnv/buildFHSUserEnv</title>
<para>
<function>buildFHSChrootEnv</function> and
<function>buildFHSUserEnv</function> provide a way to build and run
FHS-compatible lightweight sandboxes. They get their own isolated root with
binded <filename>/nix/store</filename>, so their footprint in terms of disk
space needed is quite small. This allows one to run software which is hard or
unfeasible to patch for NixOS -- 3rd-party source trees with FHS assumptions,
games distributed as tarballs, software with integrity checking and/or external
self-updated binaries.
</para>
<para>
<function>buildFHSChrootEnv</function> allows to create persistent
environments, which can be constructed, deconstructed and entered by
multiple users at once. A downside is that it requires
<literal>root</literal> access for both those who create and destroy and
those who enter it. It can be useful to create environments for daemons that
one can enter and observe.
</para>
<para>
<function>buildFHSUserEnv</function> uses Linux namespaces feature to create
temporary lightweight environments which are destroyed after all child
processes exit. It does not require root access, and can be useful to create
sandboxes and wrap applications.
</para>
<para>
Those functions both rely on <function>buildFHSEnv</function>, which creates
an actual directory structure given a list of necessary packages and extra
build commands.
<function>buildFHSChrootEnv</function> and <function>buildFHSUserEnv</function>
both accept those arguments which are passed to
<function>buildFHSEnv</function>:

<para>
Additionally, <function>buildFHSUserEnv</function> accepts
<literal>runScript</literal> parameter, which is a command that would be
executed inside the sandbox and passed all the command line arguments. It
default to <literal>bash</literal>.
</para>
<para>
It also uses <literal>CHROOTENV_EXTRA_BINDS</literal> environment variable
for binding extra directories in the sandbox to outside places. The format of
the variable is <literal>/mnt=test-mnt:/data</literal>, where
<literal>/mnt</literal> would be mounted as <literal>/test-mnt</literal>
and <literal>/data</literal> would be mounted as <literal>/data</literal>.
<literal>extraBindMounts</literal> array argument to
<function>buildFHSUserEnv</function> function is prepended to this variable.
Latter entries take priority if defined several times -- i.e. in case of
<literal>/data=data1:/data=data2</literal> the actual bind path would be
<literal>/data2</literal>.
</para>
<para>
One can create a simple environment using a <literal>shell.nix</literal>
like that:
</para>
<programlisting><![CDATA[
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
(pkgs.buildFHSUserEnv {
name = "simple-x11-env";
targetPkgs = pkgs: (with pkgs;

libXcursor
libXrandr

multiPkgs = pkgs: (with pkgs;
[ udev
alsaLib
]);
runScript = "bash";
}).env
]]></programlisting>
<para>
Running <literal>nix-shell</literal> would then drop you into a shell with
these libraries and binaries available. You can use this to run
closed-source applications which expect FHS structure without hassles:
simply change <literal>runScript</literal> to the application path,

title: User's Guide for Haskell in Nixpkgs

# User's Guide to the Haskell Infrastructure
## How to install Haskell packages
Nixpkgs distributes build instructions for all Haskell packages registered on
[Hackage](http://hackage.haskell.org/), but strangely enough normal Nix package
lookups don't seem to discover any of them, except for the default version of ghc, cabal-install, and stack:
$ nix-env -i alex
error: selector alex matches no derivations
$ nix-env -qa ghc
ghc-7.10.2
The Haskell package set is not registered in the top-level namespace because it
is *huge*. If all Haskell packages were visible to these commands, then
name-based search/install operations would be much slower than they are now. We
avoided that by keeping all Haskell-related packages in a separate attribute
set called `haskellPackages`, which the following command will list:
$ nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A haskellPackages
haskellPackages.a50 a50-0.5
haskellPackages.abacate haskell-abacate-0.0.0.0
haskellPackages.abcBridge haskell-abcBridge-0.12
haskellPackages.afv afv-0.1.1
haskellPackages.alex alex-3.1.4
haskellPackages.Allure Allure-0.4.101.1
haskellPackages.alms alms-0.6.7
[... some 8000 entries omitted ...]
To install any of those packages into your profile, refer to them by their
attribute path (first column):
$ nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA haskellPackages.Allure ...
The attribute path of any Haskell packages corresponds to the name of that
particular package on Hackage: the package `cabal-install` has the attribute
`haskellPackages.cabal-install`, and so on. (Actually, this convention causes
trouble with packages like `3dmodels` and `4Blocks`, because these names are
invalid identifiers in the Nix language. The issue of how to deal with these
rare corner cases is currently unresolved.)
Haskell packages who's Nix name (second column) begins with a `haskell-` prefix
are packages that provide a library whereas packages without that prefix
provide just executables. Libraries may provide executables too, though: the
package `haskell-pandoc`, for example, installs both a library and an
application. You can install and use Haskell executables just like any other
program in Nixpkgs, but using Haskell libraries for development is a bit
trickier and we'll address that subject in great detail in section [How to
create a development environment].
Attribute paths are deterministic inside of Nixpkgs, but the path necessary to
reach Nixpkgs varies from system to system. We dodged that problem by giving
`nix-env` an explicit `-f "<nixpkgs>"` parameter, but if you call `nix-env`
without that flag, then chances are the invocation fails:
$ nix-env -iA haskellPackages.cabal-install
error: attribute haskellPackages in selection path
haskellPackages.cabal-install not found
On NixOS, for example, Nixpkgs does *not* exist in the top-level namespace by
default. To figure out the proper attribute path, it's easiest to query for the
path of a well-known Nixpkgs package, i.e.:
$ nix-env -qaP coreutils
nixos.coreutils coreutils-8.23
If your system responds like that (most NixOS installations will), then the
attribute path to `haskellPackages` is `nixos.haskellPackages`. Thus, if you
want to use `nix-env` without giving an explicit `-f` flag, then that's the way
to do it:
$ nix-env -qaP -A nixos.haskellPackages
$ nix-env -iA nixos.haskellPackages.cabal-install
Our current default compiler is GHC 7.10.x and the `haskellPackages` set
contains packages built with that particular version. Nixpkgs contains the
latest major release of every GHC since 6.10.4, however, and there is a whole
family of package sets available that defines Hackage packages built with each
of those compilers, too:
$ nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A haskell.packages.ghc6123
$ nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A haskell.packages.ghc763
The name `haskellPackages` is really just a synonym for
`haskell.packages.ghc7102`, because we prefer that package set internally and
recommend it to our users as their default choice, but ultimately you are free
to compile your Haskell packages with any GHC version you please. The following
command displays the complete list of available compilers:
$ nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A haskell.compiler
haskell.compiler.ghc6104 ghc-6.10.4
haskell.compiler.ghc6123 ghc-6.12.3
haskell.compiler.ghc704 ghc-7.0.4
haskell.compiler.ghc722 ghc-7.2.2
haskell.compiler.ghc742 ghc-7.4.2
haskell.compiler.ghc763 ghc-7.6.3
haskell.compiler.ghc784 ghc-7.8.4
haskell.compiler.ghc7102 ghc-7.10.2
haskell.compiler.ghcHEAD ghc-7.11.20150402
haskell.compiler.ghcNokinds ghc-nokinds-7.11.20150704
haskell.compiler.ghcjs ghcjs-0.1.0
haskell.compiler.jhc jhc-0.8.2
haskell.compiler.uhc uhc-1.1.9.0
We have no package sets for `jhc` or `uhc` yet, unfortunately, but for every
version of GHC listed above, there exists a package set based on that compiler.
Also, the attributes `haskell.compiler.ghcXYC` and
`haskell.packages.ghcXYC.ghc` are synonymous for the sake of convenience.
## How to create a development environment
### How to install a compiler
A simple development environment consists of a Haskell compiler and one or both
of the tools `cabal-install` and `stack`. We saw in section
[How to install Haskell packages] how you can install those programs into your
user profile:
$ nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA haskellPackages.ghc haskellPackages.cabal-install
Instead of the default package set `haskellPackages`, you can also use the more
precise name `haskell.compiler.ghc7102`, which has the advantage that it refers
to the same GHC version regardless of what Nixpkgs considers "default" at any
given time.
Once you've made those tools available in `$PATH`, it's possible to build
Hackage packages the same way people without access to Nix do it all the time:
$ cabal get lens-4.11 && cd lens-4.11
$ cabal install -j --dependencies-only
$ cabal configure
$ cabal build
If you enjoy working with Cabal sandboxes, then that's entirely possible too:
just execute the command
$ cabal sandbox init
before installing the required dependencies.
The `nix-shell` utility makes it easy to switch to a different compiler
version; just enter the Nix shell environment with the command
$ nix-shell -p haskell.compiler.ghc784
to bring GHC 7.8.4 into `$PATH`. Alternatively, you can use Stack instead of
`nix-shell` directly to select compiler versions and other build tools
per-project. It uses `nix-shell` under the hood when Nix support is turned on.
See [How to build a Haskell project using Stack].
If you're using `cabal-install`, re-running `cabal configure` inside the spawned
shell switches your build to use that compiler instead. If you're working on
a project that doesn't depend on any additional system libraries outside of GHC,
then it's even sufficient to just run the `cabal configure` command inside of
the shell:
$ nix-shell -p haskell.compiler.ghc784 --command "cabal configure"
Afterwards, all other commands like `cabal build` work just fine in any shell
environment, because the configure phase recorded the absolute paths to all
required tools like GHC in its build configuration inside of the `dist/`
directory. Please note, however, that `nix-collect-garbage` can break such an
environment because the Nix store paths created by `nix-shell` aren't "alive"
anymore once `nix-shell` has terminated. If you find that your Haskell builds
no longer work after garbage collection, then you'll have to re-run `cabal
configure` inside of a new `nix-shell` environment.
### How to install a compiler with libraries
GHC expects to find all installed libraries inside of its own `lib` directory.
This approach works fine on traditional Unix systems, but it doesn't work for
Nix, because GHC's store path is immutable once it's built. We cannot install
additional libraries into that location. As a consequence, our copies of GHC
don't know any packages except their own core libraries, like `base`,
`containers`, `Cabal`, etc.
We can register additional libraries to GHC, however, using a special build
function called `ghcWithPackages`. That function expects one argument: a
function that maps from an attribute set of Haskell packages to a list of
packages, which determines the libraries known to that particular version of
GHC. For example, the Nix expression `ghcWithPackages (pkgs: [pkgs.mtl])`
generates a copy of GHC that has the `mtl` library registered in addition to
its normal core packages:
$ nix-shell -p "haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (pkgs: [pkgs.mtl])"
[nix-shell:~]$ ghc-pkg list mtl
/nix/store/zy79...-ghc-7.10.2/lib/ghc-7.10.2/package.conf.d:
mtl-2.2.1
This function allows users to define their own development environment by means
of an override. After adding the following snippet to `~/.nixpkgs/config.nix`,
{
packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
{
myHaskellEnv = self.haskell.packages.ghc7102.ghcWithPackages
(haskellPackages: with haskellPackages; [
# libraries
arrows async cgi criterion
# tools
cabal-install haskintex
]);
};
}
it's possible to install that compiler with `nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA
myHaskellEnv`. If you'd like to switch that development environment to a
different version of GHC, just replace the `ghc7102` bit in the previous
definition with the appropriate name. Of course, it's also possible to define
any number of these development environments! (You can't install two of them
into the same profile at the same time, though, because that would result in
file conflicts.)
The generated `ghc` program is a wrapper script that re-directs the real
GHC executable to use a new `lib` directory --- one that we specifically
constructed to contain all those packages the user requested:
$ cat $(type -p ghc)
#! /nix/store/xlxj...-bash-4.3-p33/bin/bash -e
export NIX_GHC=/nix/store/19sm...-ghc-7.10.2/bin/ghc
export NIX_GHCPKG=/nix/store/19sm...-ghc-7.10.2/bin/ghc-pkg
export NIX_GHC_DOCDIR=/nix/store/19sm...-ghc-7.10.2/share/doc/ghc/html
export NIX_GHC_LIBDIR=/nix/store/19sm...-ghc-7.10.2/lib/ghc-7.10.2
exec /nix/store/j50p...-ghc-7.10.2/bin/ghc "-B$NIX_GHC_LIBDIR" "$@"
The variables `$NIX_GHC`, `$NIX_GHCPKG`, etc. point to the *new* store path
`ghcWithPackages` constructed specifically for this environment. The last line
of the wrapper script then executes the real `ghc`, but passes the path to the
new `lib` directory using GHC's `-B` flag.
The purpose of those environment variables is to work around an impurity in the
popular [ghc-paths](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghc-paths) library. That
library promises to give its users access to GHC's installation paths. Only,
the library can't possible know that path when it's compiled, because the path
GHC considers its own is determined only much later, when the user configures
it through `ghcWithPackages`. So we [patched
ghc-paths](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/patches/ghc-paths-nix.patch)
to return the paths found in those environment variables at run-time rather
than trying to guess them at compile-time.
To make sure that mechanism works properly all the time, we recommend that you
set those variables to meaningful values in your shell environment, too, i.e.
by adding the following code to your `~/.bashrc`:
if type >/dev/null 2>&1 -p ghc; then
eval "$(egrep ^export "$(type -p ghc)")"
fi
If you are certain that you'll use only one GHC environment which is located in
your user profile, then you can use the following code, too, which has the
advantage that it doesn't contain any paths from the Nix store, i.e. those
settings always remain valid even if a `nix-env -u` operation updates the GHC
environment in your profile:
if [ -e ~/.nix-profile/bin/ghc ]; then
export NIX_GHC="$HOME/.nix-profile/bin/ghc"
export NIX_GHCPKG="$HOME/.nix-profile/bin/ghc-pkg"
export NIX_GHC_DOCDIR="$HOME/.nix-profile/share/doc/ghc/html"
export NIX_GHC_LIBDIR="$HOME/.nix-profile/lib/ghc-$($NIX_GHC --numeric-version)"
fi
### How to install a compiler with libraries, hoogle and documentation indexes
If you plan to use your environment for interactive programming, not just
compiling random Haskell code, you might want to replace `ghcWithPackages` in
all the listings above with `ghcWithHoogle`.
This environment generator not only produces an environment with GHC and all
the specified libraries, but also generates a `hoogle` and `haddock` indexes
for all the packages, and provides a wrapper script around `hoogle` binary that
uses all those things. A precise name for this thing would be
"`ghcWithPackagesAndHoogleAndDocumentationIndexes`", which is, regrettably, too
long and scary.
For example, installing the following environment
{
packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
{
myHaskellEnv = self.haskellPackages.ghcWithHoogle
(haskellPackages: with haskellPackages; [
# libraries
arrows async cgi criterion
# tools
cabal-install haskintex
]);
};
}
allows one to browse module documentation index [not too dissimilar to
this](https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/libraries/index.html)
for all the specified packages and their dependencies by directing a browser of
choice to `~/.nix-profiles/share/doc/hoogle/index.html` (or
`/run/current-system/sw/share/doc/hoogle/index.html` in case you put it in
`environment.systemPackages` in NixOS).
After you've marveled enough at that try adding the following to your
`~/.ghc/ghci.conf`
:def hoogle \s -> return $ ":! hoogle search -cl --count=15 \"" ++ s ++ "\""
:def doc \s -> return $ ":! hoogle search -cl --info \"" ++ s ++ "\""
and test it by typing into `ghci`:
:hoogle a -> a
:doc a -> a
Be sure to note the links to `haddock` files in the output. With any modern and
properly configured terminal emulator you can just click those links to
navigate there.
Finally, you can run
hoogle server -p 8080
and navigate to http://localhost:8080/ for your own local
[Hoogle](https://www.haskell.org/hoogle/). Note, however, that Firefox and
possibly other browsers disallow navigation from `http:` to `file:` URIs for
security reasons, which might be quite an inconvenience. See [this
page](http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_do_not_work) for
workarounds.
### How to build a Haskell project using Stack
[Stack][http://haskellstack.org] is a popular build tool for Haskell projects.
It has first-class support for Nix. Stack can optionally use Nix to
automatically select the right version of GHC and other build tools to build,
test and execute apps in an existing project downloaded from somewhere on the
Internet. Pass the `--nix` flag to any `stack` command to do so, e.g.
$ git clone --recursive http://github.com/yesodweb/wai
$ cd wai
$ stack --nix build
If you want `stack` to use Nix by default, you can add a `nix` section to the
`stack.yaml` file, as explained in the [Stack documentation][stack-nix-doc]. For
example:
nix:
enable: true
packages: [pkgconfig zeromq zlib]
The example configuration snippet above tells Stack to create an ad hoc
environment for `nix-shell` as in the below section, in which the `pkgconfig`,
`zeromq` and `zlib` packages from Nixpkgs are available. All `stack` commands
will implicitly be executed inside this ad hoc environment.
Some projects have more sophisticated needs. For examples, some ad hoc
environments might need to expose Nixpkgs packages compiled in a certain way, or
with extra environment variables. In these cases, you'll need a `shell` field
instead of `packages`:
nix:
enable: true
shell-file: shell.nix
For more on how to write a `shell.nix` file see the below section. You'll need
to express a derivation. Note that Nixpkgs ships with a convenience wrapper
function around `mkDerivation` called `haskell.lib.buildStackProject` to help you
create this derivation in exactly the way Stack expects. All of the same inputs
as `mkDerivation` can be provided. For example, to build a Stack project that
including packages that link against a version of the R library compiled with
special options turned on:
with (import <nixpkgs> { });
let R = pkgs.R.override { enableStrictBarrier = true; };
in
haskell.lib.buildStackProject {
name = "HaskellR";
buildInputs = [ R zeromq zlib ];
}
[stack-nix-doc]: http://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/nix_integration.html
### How to create ad hoc environments for `nix-shell`
The easiest way to create an ad hoc development environment is to run
`nix-shell` with the appropriate GHC environment given on the command-line:
nix-shell -p "haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (pkgs: with pkgs; [mtl pandoc])"
For more sophisticated use-cases, however, it's more convenient to save the
desired configuration in a file called `shell.nix` that looks like this:
{ nixpkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}, compiler ? "ghc7102" }:
let
inherit (nixpkgs) pkgs;
ghc = pkgs.haskell.packages.${compiler}.ghcWithPackages (ps: with ps; [
monad-par mtl
]);
in
pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "my-haskell-env-0";
buildInputs = [ ghc ];
shellHook = "eval $(egrep ^export ${ghc}/bin/ghc)";
}
Now run `nix-shell` --- or even `nix-shell --pure` --- to enter a shell
environment that has the appropriate compiler in `$PATH`. If you use `--pure`,
then add all other packages that your development environment needs into the
`buildInputs` attribute. If you'd like to switch to a different compiler
version, then pass an appropriate `compiler` argument to the expression, i.e.
`nix-shell --argstr compiler ghc784`.
If you need such an environment because you'd like to compile a Hackage package
outside of Nix --- i.e. because you're hacking on the latest version from Git
---, then the package set provides suitable nix-shell environments for you
already! Every Haskell package has an `env` attribute that provides a shell
environment suitable for compiling that particular package. If you'd like to
hack the `lens` library, for example, then you just have to check out the
source code and enter the appropriate environment:
$ cabal get lens-4.11 && cd lens-4.11
Downloading lens-4.11...
Unpacking to lens-4.11/
$ nix-shell "<nixpkgs>" -A haskellPackages.lens.env
[nix-shell:/tmp/lens-4.11]$
At point, you can run `cabal configure`, `cabal build`, and all the other
development commands. Note that you need `cabal-install` installed in your
`$PATH` already to use it here --- the `nix-shell` environment does not provide
it.
## How to create Nix builds for your own private Haskell packages
If your own Haskell packages have build instructions for Cabal, then you can
convert those automatically into build instructions for Nix using the
`cabal2nix` utility, which you can install into your profile by running
`nix-env -i cabal2nix`.
### How to build a stand-alone project
For example, let's assume that you're working on a private project called
`foo`. To generate a Nix build expression for it, change into the project's
top-level directory and run the command:
$ cabal2nix . >foo.nix
Then write the following snippet into a file called `default.nix`:
{ nixpkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}, compiler ? "ghc7102" }:
nixpkgs.pkgs.haskell.packages.${compiler}.callPackage ./foo.nix { }
Finally, store the following code in a file called `shell.nix`:
{ nixpkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}, compiler ? "ghc7102" }:
(import ./default.nix { inherit nixpkgs compiler; }).env
At this point, you can run `nix-build` to have Nix compile your project and
install it into a Nix store path. The local directory will contain a symlink
called `result` after `nix-build` returns that points into that location. Of
course, passing the flag `--argstr compiler ghc763` allows switching the build
to any version of GHC currently supported.
Furthermore, you can call `nix-shell` to enter an interactive development
environment in which you can use `cabal configure` and `cabal build` to develop
your code. That environment will automatically contain a proper GHC derivation
with all the required libraries registered as well as all the system-level
libraries your package might need.
If your package does not depend on any system-level libraries, then it's
sufficient to run
$ nix-shell --command "cabal configure"
once to set up your build. `cabal-install` determines the absolute paths to all
resources required for the build and writes them into a config file in the
`dist/` directory. Once that's done, you can run `cabal build` and any other
command for that project even outside of the `nix-shell` environment. This
feature is particularly nice for those of us who like to edit their code with
an IDE, like Emacs' `haskell-mode`, because it's not necessary to start Emacs
inside of nix-shell just to make it find out the necessary settings for
building the project; `cabal-install` has already done that for us.
If you want to do some quick-and-dirty hacking and don't want to bother setting
up a `default.nix` and `shell.nix` file manually, then you can use the
`--shell` flag offered by `cabal2nix` to have it generate a stand-alone
`nix-shell` environment for you. With that feature, running
$ cabal2nix --shell . >shell.nix
$ nix-shell --command "cabal configure"
is usually enough to set up a build environment for any given Haskell package.
You can even use that generated file to run `nix-build`, too:
$ nix-build shell.nix
### How to build projects that depend on each other
If you have multiple private Haskell packages that depend on each other, then
you'll have to register those packages in the Nixpkgs set to make them visible
for the dependency resolution performed by `callPackage`. First of all, change
into each of your projects top-level directories and generate a `default.nix`
file with `cabal2nix`:
$ cd ~/src/foo && cabal2nix . >default.nix
$ cd ~/src/bar && cabal2nix . >default.nix
Then edit your `~/.nixpkgs/config.nix` file to register those builds in the
default Haskell package set:
{
packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
{
haskellPackages = super.haskellPackages.override {
overrides = self: super: {
foo = self.callPackage ../src/foo {};
bar = self.callPackage ../src/bar {};
};
};
};
}
Once that's accomplished, `nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qA haskellPackages` will
show your packages like any other package from Hackage, and you can build them
$ nix-build "<nixpkgs>" -A haskellPackages.foo
or enter an interactive shell environment suitable for building them:
$ nix-shell "<nixpkgs>" -A haskellPackages.bar.env
## Miscellaneous Topics
### How to build with profiling enabled
Every Haskell package set takes a function called `overrides` that you can use
to manipulate the package as much as you please. One useful application of this
feature is to replace the default `mkDerivation` function with one that enables
library profiling for all packages. To accomplish that, add configure the
following snippet in your `~/.nixpkgs/config.nix` file:
{
packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
{
profiledHaskellPackages = self.haskellPackages.override {
overrides = self: super: {
mkDerivation = args: super.mkDerivation (args // {
enableLibraryProfiling = true;
});
};
};
};
}
Then, replace instances of `haskellPackages` in the `cabal2nix`-generated
`default.nix` or `shell.nix` files with `profiledHaskellPackages`.
### How to override package versions in a compiler-specific package set
Nixpkgs provides the latest version of
[`ghc-events`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghc-events), which is 0.4.4.0
at the time of this writing. This is fine for users of GHC 7.10.x, but GHC
7.8.4 cannot compile that binary. Now, one way to solve that problem is to
register an older version of `ghc-events` in the 7.8.x-specific package set.
The first step is to generate Nix build instructions with `cabal2nix`:
$ cabal2nix cabal://ghc-events-0.4.3.0 >~/.nixpkgs/ghc-events-0.4.3.0.nix
Then add the override in `~/.nixpkgs/config.nix`:
{
packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
{
haskell = super.haskell // {
packages = super.haskell.packages // {
ghc784 = super.haskell.packages.ghc784.override {
overrides = self: super: {
ghc-events = self.callPackage ./ghc-events-0.4.3.0.nix {};
};
};
};
};
};
}
This code is a little crazy, no doubt, but it's necessary because the intuitive
version
haskell.packages.ghc784 = super.haskell.packages.ghc784.override {
overrides = self: super: {
ghc-events = self.callPackage ./ghc-events-0.4.3.0.nix {};
};
};
doesn't do what we want it to: that code replaces the `haskell` package set in
Nixpkgs with one that contains only one entry,`packages`, which contains only
one entry `ghc784`. This override loses the `haskell.compiler` set, and it
loses the `haskell.packages.ghcXYZ` sets for all compilers but GHC 7.8.4. To
avoid that problem, we have to perform the convoluted little dance from above,
iterating over each step in hierarchy.
Once it's accomplished, however, we can install a variant of `ghc-events`
that's compiled with GHC 7.8.4:
nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA haskell.packages.ghc784.ghc-events
Unfortunately, it turns out that this build fails again while executing the
test suite! Apparently, the release archive on Hackage is missing some data
files that the test suite requires, so we cannot run it. We accomplish that by
re-generating the Nix expression with the `--no-check` flag:
$ cabal2nix --no-check cabal://ghc-events-0.4.3.0 >~/.nixpkgs/ghc-events-0.4.3.0.nix
Now the builds succeeds.
Of course, in the concrete example of `ghc-events` this whole exercise is not
an ideal solution, because `ghc-events` can analyze the output emitted by any
version of GHC later than 6.12 regardless of the compiler version that was used
to build the `ghc-events' executable, so strictly speaking there's no reason to
prefer one built with GHC 7.8.x in the first place. However, for users who
cannot use GHC 7.10.x at all for some reason, the approach of downgrading to an
older version might be useful.
### How to recover from GHC's infamous non-deterministic library ID bug
GHC and distributed build farms don't get along well:
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4012
When you see an error like this one
package foo-0.7.1.0 is broken due to missing package
text-1.2.0.4-98506efb1b9ada233bb5c2b2db516d91
then you have to download and re-install `foo` and all its dependents from
scratch:
# nix-store -q --referrers /nix/store/*-haskell-text-1.2.0.4 \
| xargs -L 1 nix-store --repair-path --option binary-caches http://hydra.nixos.org
If you're using additional Hydra servers other than `hydra.nixos.org`, then it
might be necessary to purge the local caches that store data from those
machines to disable these binary channels for the duration of the previous
command, i.e. by running:
rm /nix/var/nix/binary-cache-v3.sqlite
rm /nix/var/nix/manifests/*
rm /nix/var/nix/channel-cache/*
### How to use the Haste Haskell-to-Javascript transpiler
Open a shell with `haste-compiler` and `haste-cabal-install` (you don't actually need
`node`, but it can be useful to test stuff):
$ nix-shell -p "haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (self: with self; [haste-cabal-install haste-compiler])" -p nodejs
You may not need the following step but if `haste-boot` fails to compile all the
packages it needs, this might do the trick
$ haste-cabal update
`haste-boot` builds a set of core libraries so that they can be used from Javascript
transpiled programs:
$ haste-boot
Transpile and run a "Hello world" program:
$ echo 'module Main where main = putStrLn "Hello world"' > hello-world.hs
$ hastec --onexec hello-world.hs
$ node hello-world.js
Hello world
### Builds on Darwin fail with `math.h` not found
Users of GHC on Darwin have occasionally reported that builds fail, because the
compiler complains about a missing include file:
fatal error: 'math.h' file not found
The issue has been discussed at length in [ticket
6390](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/6390), and so far no good
solution has been proposed. As a work-around, users who run into this problem
can configure the environment variables
export NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE="-idirafter /usr/include"
export NIX_CFLAGS_LINK="-L/usr/lib"
in their `~/.bashrc` file to avoid the compiler error.
### Builds using Stack complain about missing system libraries
-- While building package zlib-0.5.4.2 using:
runhaskell -package=Cabal-1.22.4.0 -clear-package-db [... lots of flags ...]
Process exited with code: ExitFailure 1
Logs have been written to: /home/foo/src/stack-ide/.stack-work/logs/zlib-0.5.4.2.log
Configuring zlib-0.5.4.2...
Setup.hs: Missing dependency on a foreign library:
* Missing (or bad) header file: zlib.h
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
If the header file does exist, it may contain errors that are caught by the C
compiler at the preprocessing stage. In this case you can re-run configure
with the verbosity flag -v3 to see the error messages.
When you run the build inside of the nix-shell environment, the system
is configured to find libz.so without any special flags -- the compiler
and linker "just know" how to find it. Consequently, Cabal won't record
any search paths for libz.so in the package description, which means
that the package works fine inside of nix-shell, but once you leave the
shell the shared object can no longer be found. That issue is by no
means specific to Stack: you'll have that problem with any other
Haskell package that's built inside of nix-shell but run outside of that
environment.
You can remedy this issue in several ways. The easiest is to add a `nix` section
to the `stack.yaml` like the following:
nix:
enable: true
packages: [ zlib ]
Stack's Nix support knows to add `${zlib}/lib` and `${zlib}/include` as an
`--extra-lib-dirs` and `extra-include-dirs`, respectively. Alternatively, you
can achieve the same effect by hand. First of all, run
$ nix-build --no-out-link "<nixpkgs>" -A zlib
/nix/store/alsvwzkiw4b7ip38l4nlfjijdvg3fvzn-zlib-1.2.8
to find out the store path of the system's zlib library. Now, you can
1) add that path (plus a "/lib" suffix) to your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable to make sure your system linker finds libz.so
automatically. It's no pretty solution, but it will work.
2) As a variant of (1), you can also install any number of system
libraries into your user's profile (or some other profile) and point
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH to that profile instead, so that you don't have to
list dozens of those store paths all over the place.
3) The solution I prefer is to call stack with an appropriate
--extra-lib-dirs flag like so:
$ stack --extra-lib-dirs=/nix/store/alsvwzkiw4b7ip38l4nlfjijdvg3fvzn-zlib-1.2.8/lib build
Typically, you'll need --extra-include-dirs as well. It's possible
to add those flag to the project's "stack.yaml" or your user's
global "~/.stack/global/stack.yaml" file so that you don't have to
specify them manually every time. But again, you're likely better off using
Stack's Nix support instead.
The same thing applies to `cabal configure`, of course, if you're
building with `cabal-install` instead of Stack.
### Creating statically linked binaries
There are two levels of static linking. The first option is to configure the
build with the Cabal flag `--disable-executable-dynamic`. In Nix expressions,
this can be achieved by setting the attribute:
enableSharedExecutables = false;
That gives you a binary with statically linked Haskell libraries and
dynamically linked system libraries.
To link both Haskell libraries and system libraries statically, the additional
flags `--ghc-option=-optl=-static --ghc-option=-optl=-pthread` need to be used.
In Nix, this is accomplished with:
configureFlags = [ "--ghc-option=-optl=-static" "--ghc-option=-optl=-pthread" ];
It's important to realize, however, that most system libraries in Nix are built
as shared libraries only, i.e. there is just no static library available that
Cabal could link!

# Introduction
The Nix Packages collection (Nixpkgs) is a set of thousands of packages for the
[Nix package manager](http://nixos.org/nix/), released under a
[permissive MIT/X11 license](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/COPYING).
Packages are available for several platforms, and can be used with the Nix
package manager on most GNU/Linux distributions as well as NixOS.
This manual primarily describes how to write packages for the Nix Packages collection
(Nixpkgs). Thus its mainly for packagers and developers who want to add packages to
Nixpkgs. If you like to learn more about the Nix package manager and the Nix
expression language, then you are kindly referred to the [Nix manual](http://nixos.org/nix/manual/).
## Overview of Nixpkgs
Nix expressions describe how to build packages from source and are collected in
the [nixpkgs repository](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs). Also included in the
collection are Nix expressions for
[NixOS modules](http://nixos.org/nixos/manual/index.html#sec-writing-modules).
With these expressions the Nix package manager can build binary packages.
Packages, including the Nix packages collection, are distributed through
[channels](http://nixos.org/nix/manual/#sec-channels). The collection is
distributed for users of Nix on non-NixOS distributions through the channel
`nixpkgs`. Users of NixOS generally use one of the `nixos-*` channels, e.g.
`nixos-16.03`, which includes all packages and modules for the stable NixOS
16.03. The purpose of stable NixOS releases are generally only given
security updates. More up to date packages and modules are available via the
`nixos-unstable` channel.
Both `nixos-unstable` and `nixpkgs` follow the `master` branch of the Nixpkgs
repository, although both do lag the `master` branch by generally
[a couple of days](http://howoldis.herokuapp.com/). Updates to a channel are
distributed as soon as all tests for that channel pass, e.g.
[this table](http://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixpkgs/trunk/unstable#tabs-constituents)
shows the status of tests for the `nixpkgs` channel.
The tests are conducted by a cluster called [Hydra](http://nixos.org/hydra/),
which also builds binary packages from the Nix expressions in Nixpkgs for
`x86_64-linux`, `i686-linux` and `x86_64-darwin`.
The binaries are made available via a [binary cache](https://cache.nixos.org).
The current Nix expressions of the channels are available in the
[`nixpkgs-channels`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels) repository,
which has branches corresponding to the available channels. There is also the
[Nixpkgs Monitor](http://monitor.nixos.org) which keeps track of updates
and security vulnerabilities.

<title>Bower</title>
<para>
<link xlink:href="http://bower.io">Bower</link> is a package manager
for web site front-end components. Bower packages (comprising of
build artefacts and sometimes sources) are stored in
<command>git</command> repositories, typically on Github. The
package registry is run by the Bower team with package metadata
coming from the <filename>bower.json</filename> file within each
package.
</para>
<para>
The end result of running Bower is a
<filename>bower_components</filename> directory which can be included
in the web app's build process.
</para>
<para>
Bower can be run interactively, by installing
<varname>nodePackages.bower</varname>. More interestingly, the Bower
components can be declared in a Nix derivation, with the help of
<varname>nodePackages.bower2nix</varname>.

<title>Java</title>
<para>Ant-based Java packages are typically built from source as follows:
<programlisting>
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "...";
src = fetchurl { ... };
buildInputs = [ jdk ant ];
buildPhase = "ant";
}
</programlisting>
Note that <varname>jdk</varname> is an alias for the OpenJDK.</para>
<para>JAR files that are intended to be used by other packages should
be installed in <filename>$out/share/java</filename>. The OpenJDK has
a stdenv setup hook that adds any JARs in the
<filename>share/java</filename> directories of the build inputs to the
<envar>CLASSPATH</envar> environment variable. For instance, if the
package <literal>libfoo</literal> installs a JAR named
<filename>foo.jar</filename> in its <filename>share/java</filename>
directory, and another package declares the attribute
<programlisting>
buildInputs = [ jdk libfoo ];
</programlisting>
then <envar>CLASSPATH</envar> will be set to
<filename>/nix/store/...-libfoo/share/java/foo.jar</filename>.</para>
<para>Private JARs
should be installed in a location like
<filename>$out/share/<replaceable>package-name</replaceable></filename>.</para>
<para>If your Java package provides a program, you need to generate a
wrapper script to run it using the OpenJRE. You can use
<literal>makeWrapper</literal> for this:
<programlisting>
buildInputs = [ makeWrapper ];
installPhase =
''
mkdir -p $out/bin
makeWrapper ${jre}/bin/java $out/bin/foo \
--add-flags "-cp $out/share/java/foo.jar org.foo.Main"
'';
</programlisting>
Note the use of <literal>jre</literal>, which is the part of the
OpenJDK package that contains the Java Runtime Environment. By using
<literal>${jre}/bin/java</literal> instead of
<literal>${jdk}/bin/java</literal>, you prevent your package from
depending on the JDK at runtime.</para>
<para>It is possible to use a different Java compiler than
<command>javac</command> from the OpenJDK. For instance, to use the
Eclipse Java Compiler:
<programlisting>
buildInputs = [ jre ant ecj ];
</programlisting>
(Note that here you dont need the full JDK as an input, but just the
JRE.) The ECJ has a stdenv setup hook that sets some environment
variables to cause Ant to use ECJ, but this doesnt work with all Ant
files. Similarly, you can use the GNU Java Compiler:
<programlisting>
buildInputs = [ gcj ant ];
</programlisting>
Here, Ant will automatically use <command>gij</command> (the GNU Java
Runtime) instead of the OpenJRE.</para>

<title>Perl</title>
<para>Nixpkgs provides a function <varname>buildPerlPackage</varname>,
a generic package builder function for any Perl package that has a
standard <varname>Makefile.PL</varname>. Its implemented in <link
xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/perl-modules/generic"><filename>pkgs/development/perl-modules/generic</filename></link>.</para>
<para>Perl packages from CPAN are defined in <link
xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/top-level/perl-packages.nix"><filename>pkgs/top-level/perl-packages.nix</filename></link>,
rather than <filename>pkgs/all-packages.nix</filename>. Most Perl
packages are so straight-forward to build that they are defined here
directly, rather than having a separate function for each package
called from <filename>perl-packages.nix</filename>. However, more
complicated packages should be put in a separate file, typically in
<filename>pkgs/development/perl-modules</filename>. Here is an
example of the former:
<programlisting>
ClassC3 = buildPerlPackage rec {
name = "Class-C3-0.21";
src = fetchurl {
url = "mirror://cpan/authors/id/F/FL/FLORA/${name}.tar.gz";
sha256 = "1bl8z095y4js66pwxnm7s853pi9czala4sqc743fdlnk27kq94gz";
};
};
</programlisting>
Note the use of <literal>mirror://cpan/</literal>, and the
<literal>${name}</literal> in the URL definition to ensure that the
name attribute is consistent with the source that were actually
downloading. Perl packages are made available in
<filename>all-packages.nix</filename> through the variable
<varname>perlPackages</varname>. For instance, if you have a package
that needs <varname>ClassC3</varname>, you would typically write
<programlisting>
foo = import ../path/to/foo.nix {
inherit stdenv fetchurl ...;
inherit (perlPackages) ClassC3;
};
</programlisting>
in <filename>all-packages.nix</filename>. You can test building a
Perl package as follows:
<screen>
$ nix-build -A perlPackages.ClassC3
</screen>
<varname>buildPerlPackage</varname> adds <literal>perl-</literal> to
the start of the name attribute, so the package above is actually
called <literal>perl-Class-C3-0.21</literal>. So to install it, you
can say:
<screen>
$ nix-env -i perl-Class-C3
</screen>
(Of course you can also install using the attribute name:
<literal>nix-env -i -A perlPackages.ClassC3</literal>.)</para>
<para>So what does <varname>buildPerlPackage</varname> do? It does
the following:
<orderedlist>
<listitem><para>In the configure phase, it calls <literal>perl
Makefile.PL</literal> to generate a Makefile. You can set the
variable <varname>makeMakerFlags</varname> to pass flags to
<filename>Makefile.PL</filename></para></listitem>
<listitem><para>It adds the contents of the <envar>PERL5LIB</envar>
environment variable to <literal>#! .../bin/perl</literal> line of
Perl scripts as <literal>-I<replaceable>dir</replaceable></literal>
flags. This ensures that a script can find its
dependencies.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>In the fixup phase, it writes the propagated build
inputs (<varname>propagatedBuildInputs</varname>) to the file
<filename>$out/nix-support/propagated-user-env-packages</filename>.
<command>nix-env</command> recursively installs all packages listed
in this file when you install a package that has it. This ensures
that a Perl package can find its dependencies.</para></listitem>
</orderedlist>
</para>
<para><varname>buildPerlPackage</varname> is built on top of
<varname>stdenv</varname>, so everything can be customised in the
usual way. For instance, the <literal>BerkeleyDB</literal> module has
a <varname>preConfigure</varname> hook to generate a configuration
file used by <filename>Makefile.PL</filename>:
<programlisting>
{ buildPerlPackage, fetchurl, db }:
buildPerlPackage rec {
name = "BerkeleyDB-0.36";
src = fetchurl {
url = "mirror://cpan/authors/id/P/PM/PMQS/${name}.tar.gz";
sha256 = "07xf50riarb60l1h6m2dqmql8q5dij619712fsgw7ach04d8g3z1";
};
preConfigure = ''
echo "LIB = ${db}/lib" > config.in
echo "INCLUDE = ${db}/include" >> config.in
'';
}
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>Dependencies on other Perl packages can be specified in the
<varname>buildInputs</varname> and
<varname>propagatedBuildInputs</varname> attributes. If something is
exclusively a build-time dependency, use
<varname>buildInputs</varname>; if its (also) a runtime dependency,
use <varname>propagatedBuildInputs</varname>. For instance, this
builds a Perl module that has runtime dependencies on a bunch of other
modules:
<programlisting>
ClassC3Componentised = buildPerlPackage rec {
name = "Class-C3-Componentised-1.0004";

# Python
## User Guide
Several versions of Python are available on Nix as well as a high amount of
packages. The default interpreter is CPython 2.7.
### Using Python
#### Installing Python and packages
It is important to make a distinction between Python packages that are
used as libraries, and applications that are written in Python.
Applications on Nix are installed typically into your user
profile imperatively using `nix-env -i`, and on NixOS declaratively by adding the
package name to `environment.systemPackages` in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`.
Dependencies such as libraries are automatically installed and should not be
installed explicitly.
The same goes for Python applications and libraries. Python applications can be
installed in your profile, but Python libraries you would like to use to develop
cannot. If you do install libraries in your profile, then you will end up with
import errors.
#### Python environments using `nix-shell`
The recommended method for creating Python environments for development is with
`nix-shell`. Executing
```sh
$ nix-shell -p python35Packages.numpy python35Packages.toolz
```
opens a Nix shell which has available the requested packages and dependencies.
Now you can launch the Python interpreter (which is itself a dependency)
```sh
[nix-shell:~] python3
```
If the packages were not available yet in the Nix store, Nix would download or
build them automatically. A convenient option with `nix-shell` is the `--run`
option, with which you can execute a command in the `nix-shell`. Let's say we
want the above environment and directly run the Python interpreter
```sh
$ nix-shell -p python35Packages.numpy python35Packages.toolz --run "python3"
```
This way you can use the `--run` option also to directly run a script
```sh
$ nix-shell -p python35Packages.numpy python35Packages.toolz --run "python3 myscript.py"
```
In fact, for this specific use case there is a more convenient method. You can
add a [shebang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_(Unix)) to your script
specifying which dependencies Nix shell needs. With the following shebang, you
can use `nix-shell myscript.py` and it will make available all dependencies and
run the script in the `python3` shell.
```py
#! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
#! nix-shell -i python3 -p python3Packages.numpy
import numpy
print(numpy.__version__)
```
Likely you do not want to type your dependencies each and every time. What you
can do is write a simple Nix expression which sets up an environment for you,
requiring you only to type `nix-shell`. Say we want to have Python 3.5, `numpy`
and `toolz`, like before, in an environment. With a `shell.nix` file
containing
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
(pkgs.python35.buildEnv.override {
extraLibs = with pkgs.python35Packages; [ numpy toolz ];
}).env
```
executing `nix-shell` gives you again a Nix shell from which you can run Python.
What's happening here?
1. We begin with importing the Nix Packages collections. `import <nixpkgs>` import the `<nixpkgs>` function, `{}` calls it and the `with` statement brings all attributes of `nixpkgs` in the local scope. Therefore we can now use `pkgs`.
2. Then we create a Python 3.5 environment with `pkgs.buildEnv`. Because we want to use it with a custom set of Python packages, we override it.
3. The `extraLibs` argument of the original `buildEnv` function can be used to specify which packages should be included. We want `numpy` and `toolz`. Again, we use the `with` statement to bring a set of attributes into the local scope.
4. And finally, for in interactive use we return the environment.
### Developing with Python
Now that you know how to get a working Python environment on Nix, it is time to go forward and start actually developing with Python.
We will first have a look at how Python packages are packaged on Nix. Then, we will look how you can use development mode with your code.
#### Python packaging on Nix
On Nix all packages are built by functions. The main function in Nix for building Python packages is [`buildPythonPackage`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/python-modules/generic/default.nix).
Let's see how we would build the `toolz` package. According to [`python-packages.nix`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/master/pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix) `toolz` is build using
```nix
toolz = buildPythonPackage rec{
name = "toolz-${version}";
version = "0.7.4";
src = pkgs.fetchurl{
url = "mirror://pypi/t/toolz/toolz-${version}.tar.gz";
sha256 = "43c2c9e5e7a16b6c88ba3088a9bfc82f7db8e13378be7c78d6c14a5f8ed05afd";
};
meta = {
homepage = "http://github.com/pytoolz/toolz/";
description = "List processing tools and functional utilities";
license = licenses.bsd3;
maintainers = with maintainers; [ fridh ];
};
};
```
What happens here? The function `buildPythonPackage` is called and as argument
it accepts a set. In this case the set is a recursive set ([`rec`](http://nixos.org/nix/manual/#sec-constructs)).
One of the arguments is the name of the package, which consists of a basename
(generally following the name on PyPi) and a version. Another argument, `src`
specifies the source, which in this case is fetched from an url. `fetchurl` not
only downloads the target file, but also validates its hash. Furthermore, we
specify some (optional) [meta information](http://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#chap-meta).
The output of the function is a derivation, which is an attribute with the name
`toolz` of the set `pythonPackages`. Actually, sets are created for all interpreter versions,
so `python27Packages`, `python34Packages`, `python35Packages` and `pypyPackages`.
The above example works when you're directly working on
`pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix` in the Nixpkgs repository. Often though,
you will want to test a Nix expression outside of the Nixpkgs tree. If you
create a `shell.nix` file with the following contents
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
pkgs.python35Packages.buildPythonPackage rec {
name = "toolz-${version}";
version = "0.7.4";
src = pkgs.fetchurl{
url = "mirror://pypi/t/toolz/toolz-${version}.tar.gz";
sha256 = "43c2c9e5e7a16b6c88ba3088a9bfc82f7db8e13378be7c78d6c14a5f8ed05afd";
};
meta = {
homepage = "http://github.com/pytoolz/toolz/";
description = "List processing tools and functional utilities";
license = licenses.bsd3;
maintainers = with maintainers; [ fridh ];
};
}
```
and then execute `nix-shell` will result in an environment in which you can use
Python 3.5 and the `toolz` package. As you can see we had to explicitly mention
for which Python version we want to build a package.
The above example considered only a single package. Generally you will want to use multiple packages.
If we create a `shell.nix` file with the following contents
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
( let
toolz = pkgs.python35Packages.buildPythonPackage rec {
name = "toolz-${version}";
version = "0.7.4";
src = pkgs.fetchurl{
url = "mirror://pypi/t/toolz/toolz-${version}.tar.gz";
sha256 = "43c2c9e5e7a16b6c88ba3088a9bfc82f7db8e13378be7c78d6c14a5f8ed05afd";
};
meta = {
homepage = "http://github.com/pytoolz/toolz/";
description = "List processing tools and functional utilities";
license = licenses.bsd3;
maintainers = with maintainers; [ fridh ];
};
};
in pkgs.python35.buildEnv.override rec {
extraLibs = [ pkgs.python35Packages.numpy toolz ];
}
).env
```
and again execute `nix-shell`, then we get a Python 3.5 environment with our
locally defined package as well as `numpy` which is build according to the
definition in Nixpkgs. What did we do here? Well, we took the Nix expression
that we used earlier to build a Python environment, and said that we wanted to
include our own version of `toolz`. To introduce our own package in the scope of
`buildEnv.override` we used a
[`let`](http://nixos.org/nix/manual/#sec-constructs) expression.
### Handling dependencies
Our example, `toolz`, doesn't have any dependencies on other Python
packages or system libraries. According to the manual, `buildPythonPackage`
uses the arguments `buildInputs` and `propagatedBuildInputs` to specify dependencies. If something is
exclusively a build-time dependency, then the dependency should be included as a
`buildInput`, but if it is (also) a runtime dependency, then it should be added
to `propagatedBuildInputs`. Test dependencies are considered build-time dependencies.
The following example shows which arguments are given to `buildPythonPackage` in
order to build [`datashape`](https://github.com/blaze/datashape).
```nix
datashape = buildPythonPackage rec {
name = "datashape-${version}";
version = "0.4.7";
src = pkgs.fetchurl {
url = "mirror://pypi/D/DataShape/${name}.tar.gz";
sha256 = "14b2ef766d4c9652ab813182e866f493475e65e558bed0822e38bf07bba1a278";
};
buildInputs = with self; [ pytest ];
propagatedBuildInputs = with self; [ numpy multipledispatch dateutil ];
meta = {
homepage = https://github.com/ContinuumIO/datashape;
description = "A data description language";
license = licenses.bsd2;
maintainers = with maintainers; [ fridh ];
};
};
```
We can see several runtime dependencies, `numpy`, `multipledispatch`, and
`dateutil`. Furthermore, we have one `buildInput`, i.e. `pytest`. `pytest` is a
test runner and is only used during the `checkPhase` and is therefore not added
to `propagatedBuildInputs`.
In the previous case we had only dependencies on other Python packages to consider.
Occasionally you have also system libraries to consider. E.g., `lxml` provides
Python bindings to `libxml2` and `libxslt`. These libraries are only required
when building the bindings and are therefore added as `buildInputs`.
```nix
lxml = buildPythonPackage rec {
name = "lxml-3.4.4";
src = pkgs.fetchurl {
url = "mirror://pypi/l/lxml/${name}.tar.gz";
sha256 = "16a0fa97hym9ysdk3rmqz32xdjqmy4w34ld3rm3jf5viqjx65lxk";
};
buildInputs = with self; [ pkgs.libxml2 pkgs.libxslt ];
meta = {
description = "Pythonic binding for the libxml2 and libxslt libraries";
homepage = http://lxml.de;
license = licenses.bsd3;
maintainers = with maintainers; [ sjourdois ];
};
};
```
In this example `lxml` and Nix are able to work out exactly where the relevant
files of the dependencies are. This is not always the case.
The example below shows bindings to The Fastest Fourier Transform in the West, commonly known as
FFTW. On Nix we have separate packages of FFTW for the different types of floats
(`"single"`, `"double"`, `"long-double"`). The bindings need all three types,
and therefore we add all three as `buildInputs`. The bindings don't expect to
find each of them in a different folder, and therefore we have to set `LDFLAGS`
and `CFLAGS`.
```nix
pyfftw = buildPythonPackage rec {
name = "pyfftw-${version}";
version = "0.9.2";
src = pkgs.fetchurl {
url = "mirror://pypi/p/pyFFTW/pyFFTW-${version}.tar.gz";
sha256 = "f6bbb6afa93085409ab24885a1a3cdb8909f095a142f4d49e346f2bd1b789074";
};
buildInputs = [ pkgs.fftw pkgs.fftwFloat pkgs.fftwLongDouble];
propagatedBuildInputs = with self; [ numpy scipy ];
# Tests cannot import pyfftw. pyfftw works fine though.
doCheck = false;
LDFLAGS="-L${pkgs.fftw}/lib -L${pkgs.fftwFloat}/lib -L${pkgs.fftwLongDouble}/lib"
CFLAGS="-I${pkgs.fftw}/include -I${pkgs.fftwFloat}/include -I${pkgs.fftwLongDouble}/include"
'';
meta = {
description = "A pythonic wrapper around FFTW, the FFT library, presenting a unified interface for all the supported transforms";
homepage = http://hgomersall.github.com/pyFFTW/;
license = with licenses; [ bsd2 bsd3 ];
maintainer = with maintainers; [ fridh ];
};
};
```
Note also the line `doCheck = false;`, we explicitly disabled running the test-suite.
#### Develop local package
As a Python developer you're likely aware of [development mode](http://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#development-mode) (`python setup.py develop`);
instead of installing the package this command creates a special link to the project code.
That way, you can run updated code without having to reinstall after each and every change you make.
Development mode is also available on Nix as [explained](http://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#ssec-python-development) in the Nixpkgs manual.
Let's see how you can use it.
In the previous Nix expression the source was fetched from an url. We can also refer to a local source instead using
```nix
src = ./path/to/source/tree;
```
If we create a `shell.nix` file which calls `buildPythonPackage`, and if `src`
is a local source, and if the local source has a `setup.py`, then development
mode is activated.
In the following example we create a simple environment that
has a Python 3.5 version of our package in it, as well as its dependencies and
other packages we like to have in the environment, all specified with `propagatedBuildInputs`.
Indeed, we can just add any package we like to have in our environment to `propagatedBuildInputs`.
```nix
with import <nixpkgs>;
with pkgs.python35Packages;
buildPythonPackage rec {
name = "mypackage";
src = ./path/to/package/source;
propagatedBuildInputs = [ pytest numpy pkgs.libsndfile ];
};
```
It is important to note that due to how development mode is implemented on Nix it is not possible to have multiple packages simultaneously in development mode.
### Organising your packages
So far we discussed how you can use Python on Nix, and how you can develop with
it. We've looked at how you write expressions to package Python packages, and we
looked at how you can create environments in which specified packages are
available.
At some point you'll likely have multiple packages which you would
like to be able to use in different projects. In order to minimise unnecessary
duplication we now look at how you can maintain yourself a repository with your
own packages. The important functions here are `import` and `callPackage`.
### Including a derivation using `callPackage`
Earlier we created a Python environment using `buildEnv`, and included the
`toolz` package via a `let` expression.
Let's split the package definition from the environment definition.
We first create a function that builds `toolz` in `~/path/to/toolz/release.nix`
```nix
{ pkgs, buildPythonPackage }:
buildPythonPackage rec {
name = "toolz-${version}";
version = "0.7.4";
src = pkgs.fetchurl{
url = "mirror://pypi/t/toolz/toolz-${version}.tar.gz";
sha256 = "43c2c9e5e7a16b6c88ba3088a9bfc82f7db8e13378be7c78d6c14a5f8ed05afd";
};
meta = {
homepage = "http://github.com/pytoolz/toolz/";
description = "List processing tools and functional utilities";
license = licenses.bsd3;
maintainers = with maintainers; [ fridh ];
};
};
```
It takes two arguments, `pkgs` and `buildPythonPackage`.
We now call this function using `callPackage` in the definition of our environment
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
( let
toolz = pkgs.callPackage ~/path/to/toolz/release.nix { pkgs=pkgs; buildPythonPackage=pkgs.python35Packages.buildPythonPackage; };
in pkgs.python35.buildEnv.override rec {
extraLibs = [ pkgs.python35Packages.numpy toolz ];
}
).env
```
Important to remember is that the Python version for which the package is made
depends on the `python` derivation that is passed to `buildPythonPackage`. Nix
tries to automatically pass arguments when possible, which is why generally you
don't explicitly define which `python` derivation should be used. In the above
example we use `buildPythonPackage` that is part of the set `python35Packages`,
and in this case the `python35` interpreter is automatically used.
## Reference
### Interpreters
Versions 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 of the CPython interpreter are available on
Nix and are available as `python26`, `python27`, `python33`, `python34` and
`python35`. The PyPy interpreter is also available as `pypy`. Currently, the
aliases `python` and `python3` correspond to respectively `python27` and
`python35`. The Nix expressions for the interpreters can be found in
`pkgs/development/interpreters/python`.
#### Missing modules standard library
The interpreters `python26` and `python27` do not include modules that
require external dependencies. This is done in order to reduce the closure size.
The following modules need to be added as `buildInput` explicitly:
* `python.modules.bsddb`
* `python.modules.curses`
* `python.modules.curses_panel`
* `python.modules.crypt`
* `python.modules.gdbm`
* `python.modules.sqlite3`
* `python.modules.tkinter`
* `python.modules.readline`
For convenience `python27Full` and `python26Full` are provided with all
modules included.
All packages depending on any Python interpreter get appended
`out/{python.sitePackages}` to `$PYTHONPATH` if such directory
exists.
#### Attributes on interpreters packages
Each interpreter has the following attributes:
- `libPrefix`. Name of the folder in `${python}/lib/` for corresponding interpreter.
- `interpreter`. Alias for `${python}/bin/${executable}`.
- `buildEnv`. Function to build python interpreter environments with extra packages bundled together. See section *python.buildEnv function* for usage and documentation.
- `sitePackages`. Alias for `lib/${libPrefix}/site-packages`.
- `executable`. Name of the interpreter executable, ie `python3.4`.
### Building packages and applications
Python packages (libraries) and applications that use `setuptools` or
`distutils` are typically built with respectively the `buildPythonPackage` and
`buildPythonApplication` functions.
All Python packages reside in `pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix` and all
applications elsewhere. Some packages are also defined in
`pkgs/development/python-modules`. It is important that these packages are
called in `pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix` and not elsewhere, to guarantee
the right version of the package is built.
Based on the packages defined in `pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix` an
attribute set is created for each available Python interpreter. The available
sets are
* `pkgs.python26Packages`
* `pkgs.python27Packages`
* `pkgs.python33Packages`
* `pkgs.python34Packages`
* `pkgs.python35Packages`
* `pkgs.pypyPackages`
and the aliases
* `pkgs.pythonPackages` pointing to `pkgs.python27Packages`
* `pkgs.python3Packages` pointing to `pkgs.python35Packages`
#### `buildPythonPackage` function
The `buildPythonPackage` function is implemented in
`pkgs/development/python-modules/generic/default.nix`
and can be used as:
twisted = buildPythonPackage {
name = "twisted-8.1.0";
src = pkgs.fetchurl {
url = http://tmrc.mit.edu/mirror/twisted/Twisted/8.1/Twisted-8.1.0.tar.bz2;
sha256 = "0q25zbr4xzknaghha72mq57kh53qw1bf8csgp63pm9sfi72qhirl";
};
propagatedBuildInputs = [ self.ZopeInterface ];
meta = {
homepage = http://twistedmatrix.com/;
description = "Twisted, an event-driven networking engine written in Python";
license = stdenv.lib.licenses.mit; };
};
The `buildPythonPackage` mainly does four things:
* In the `buildPhase`, it calls `${python.interpreter} setup.py bdist_wheel` to build a wheel binary zipfile.
* In the `installPhase`, it installs the wheel file using `pip install *.whl`.
* In the `postFixup` phase, the `wrapPythonPrograms` bash function is called to wrap all programs in the `$out/bin/*` directory to include `$PYTHONPATH` and `$PATH` environment variables.
* In the `installCheck` phase, `${python.interpreter} setup.py test` is ran.
As in Perl, dependencies on other Python packages can be specified in the
`buildInputs` and `propagatedBuildInputs` attributes. If something is
exclusively a build-time dependency, use `buildInputs`; if its (also) a runtime
dependency, use `propagatedBuildInputs`.
By default tests are run because `doCheck = true`. Test dependencies, like
e.g. the test runner, should be added to `buildInputs`.
By default `meta.platforms` is set to the same value
as the interpreter unless overriden otherwise.
##### `buildPythonPackage` parameters
All parameters from `mkDerivation` function are still supported.
* `namePrefix`: Prepended text to `${name}` parameter. Defaults to `"python3.3-"` for Python 3.3, etc. Set it to `""` if you're packaging an application or a command line tool.
* `disabled`: If `true`, package is not build for particular python interpreter version. Grep around `pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix` for examples.
* `setupPyBuildFlags`: List of flags passed to `setup.py build_ext` command.
* `pythonPath`: List of packages to be added into `$PYTHONPATH`. Packages in `pythonPath` are not propagated (contrary to `propagatedBuildInputs`).
* `preShellHook`: Hook to execute commands before `shellHook`.
* `postShellHook`: Hook to execute commands after `shellHook`.
* `makeWrapperArgs`: A list of strings. Arguments to be passed to `makeWrapper`, which wraps generated binaries. By default, the arguments to `makeWrapper` set `PATH` and `PYTHONPATH` environment variables before calling the binary. Additional arguments here can allow a developer to set environment variables which will be available when the binary is run. For example, `makeWrapperArgs = ["--set FOO BAR" "--set BAZ QUX"]`.
* `installFlags`: A list of strings. Arguments to be passed to `pip install`. To pass options to `python setup.py install`, use `--install-option`. E.g., `installFlags=["--install-option='--cpp_implementation'"].
* `format`: Format of the source. Options are `setup` for when the source has a `setup.py` and `setuptools` is used to build a wheel, and `wheel` in case the source is already a binary wheel. The default value is `setup`.
#### `buildPythonApplication` function
The `buildPythonApplication` function is practically the same as `buildPythonPackage`.
The difference is that `buildPythonPackage` by default prefixes the names of the packages with the version of the interpreter.
Because with an application we're not interested in multiple version the prefix is dropped.
#### python.buildEnv function
Python environments can be created using the low-level `pkgs.buildEnv` function.
This example shows how to create an environment that has the Pyramid Web Framework.
Saving the following as `default.nix`
with import {};
python.buildEnv.override {
extraLibs = [ pkgs.pythonPackages.pyramid ];
ignoreCollisions = true;
}
and running `nix-build` will create
/nix/store/cf1xhjwzmdki7fasgr4kz6di72ykicl5-python-2.7.8-env
with wrapped binaries in `bin/`.
You can also use the `env` attribute to create local environments with needed
packages installed. This is somewhat comparable to `virtualenv`. For example,
running `nix-shell` with the following `shell.nix`
with import {};
(python3.buildEnv.override {
extraLibs = with python3Packages; [ numpy requests ];
}).env
will drop you into a shell where Python will have the
specified packages in its path.
##### `python.buildEnv` arguments
* `extraLibs`: List of packages installed inside the environment.
* `postBuild`: Shell command executed after the build of environment.
* `ignoreCollisions`: Ignore file collisions inside the environment (default is `false`).
### Development mode
Development or editable mode is supported. To develop Python packages
`buildPythonPackage` has additional logic inside `shellPhase` to run `pip
install -e . --prefix $TMPDIR/`for the package.
Warning: `shellPhase` is executed only if `setup.py` exists.
Given a `default.nix`:
with import {};
buildPythonPackage { name = "myproject";
buildInputs = with pkgs.pythonPackages; [ pyramid ];
src = ./.; }
Running `nix-shell` with no arguments should give you
the environment in which the package would be build with
`nix-build`.
Shortcut to setup environments with C headers/libraries and python packages:
$ nix-shell -p pythonPackages.pyramid zlib libjpeg git
Note: There is a boolean value `lib.inNixShell` set to `true` if nix-shell is invoked.
### Tools
Packages inside nixpkgs are written by hand. However many tools exist in
community to help save time. No tool is preferred at the moment.

## FAQ
### How to solve circular dependencies?
Consider the packages `A` and `B` that depend on each other. When packaging `B`,
a solution is to override package `A` not to depend on `B` as an input. The same
should also be done when packaging `A`.
### How to override a Python package?
Recursively updating a package can be done with `pkgs.overridePackages` as explained in the Nixpkgs manual.
Python attribute sets are created for each interpreter version. We will therefore override the attribute set for the interpreter version we're interested.
In the following example we change the name of the package `pandas` to `foo`.
```
newpkgs = pkgs.overridePackages(self: super: rec {
python35Packages = super.python35Packages.override {
self = python35Packages // { pandas = python35Packages.pandas.override{name="foo";};};
};
});
```
This can be tested with
```
with import <nixpkgs> {};
(let
newpkgs = pkgs.overridePackages(self: super: rec {
python35Packages = super.python35Packages.override {
self = python35Packages // { pandas = python35Packages.pandas.override{name="foo";};};
};
});
in newpkgs.python35.buildEnv.override{
extraLibs = [newpkgs.python35Packages.blaze ];
}).env
```
A typical use case is to switch to another version of a certain package. For example, in the Nixpkgs repository we have multiple versions of `django` and `scipy`.
In the following example we use a different version of `scipy`. All packages in `newpkgs` will now use the updated `scipy` version.
```
with import <nixpkgs> {};
(let
newpkgs = pkgs.overridePackages(self: super: rec {
python35Packages = super.python35Packages.override {
self = python35Packages // { scipy = python35Packages.scipy_0_16;};
};
});
in pkgs.python35.buildEnv.override{
extraLibs = [newpkgs.python35Packages.blaze ];
}).env
```
The requested package `blaze` depends upon `pandas` which itself depends on `scipy`.
### `install_data` / `data_files` problems
If you get the following error:
could not create '/nix/store/6l1bvljpy8gazlsw2aw9skwwp4pmvyxw-python-2.7.8/etc':
Permission denied
This is a [known bug](https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issue/130/install_data-doesnt-respect-prefix) in setuptools.
Setuptools `install_data` does not respect `--prefix`. An example of such package using the feature is `pkgs/tools/X11/xpra/default.nix`.
As workaround install it as an extra `preInstall` step:
${python.interpreter} setup.py install_data --install-dir=$out --root=$out
sed -i '/ = data\_files/d' setup.py
### Rationale of non-existent global site-packages
On most operating systems a global `site-packages` is maintained. This however
becomes problematic if you want to run multiple Python versions or have multiple
versions of certain libraries for your projects. Generally, you would solve such
issues by creating virtual environments using `virtualenv`.
On Nix each package has an isolated dependency tree which, in the case of
Python, guarantees the right versions of the interpreter and libraries or
packages are available. There is therefore no need to maintain a global `site-packages`.
If you want to create a Python environment for development, then the recommended
method is to use `nix-shell`, either with or without the `python.buildEnv`
function.
## Contributing
### Contributing guidelines
Following rules are desired to be respected:
* Make sure package builds for all python interpreters. Use `disabled` argument to `buildPythonPackage` to set unsupported interpreters.
* If tests need to be disabled for a package, make sure you leave a comment about reasoning.
* Packages in `pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix` are sorted quasi-alphabetically to avoid merge conflicts.
* Python libraries are supposed to be in `python-packages.nix` and packaged with `buildPythonPackage`. Python applications live outside of `python-packages.nix` and are packaged with `buildPythonApplication`.

<title>Qt</title>
<para>The information in this section applies to Qt 5.5 and later.</para>
<para>Qt is an application development toolkit for C++. Although it is
not a distinct programming language, there are special considerations
for packaging Qt-based programs and libraries. A small set of tools
and conventions has grown out of these considerations.</para>
<section xml:id="ssec-qt-libraries"><title>Libraries</title>
<para>Packages that provide libraries should be listed in
<varname>qt5LibsFun</varname> so that the library is built with each
Qt version. A set of packages is provided for each version of Qt; for
example, <varname>qt5Libs</varname> always provides libraries built
with the latest version, <varname>qt55Libs</varname> provides
libraries built with Qt 5.5, and so on. To avoid version conflicts, no
top-level attributes are created for these packages.</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="ssec-qt-programs"><title>Programs</title>
<para>Application packages do not need to be built with every Qt
version. To ensure consistency between the package's dependencies,
call the package with <literal>qt5Libs.callPackage</literal> instead
of the usual <literal>callPackage</literal>. An older version may be
selected in case of incompatibility. For example, to build with Qt
5.5, call the package with
<literal>qt55Libs.callPackage</literal>.</para>
<para>Several environment variables must be set at runtime for Qt
applications to function correctly, including:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><envar>QT_PLUGIN_PATH</envar></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><envar>QML_IMPORT_PATH</envar></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><envar>QML2_IMPORT_PATH</envar></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><envar>XDG_DATA_DIRS</envar></para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>To ensure that these are set correctly, the program must be wrapped by
invoking <literal>wrapQtProgram <replaceable>program</replaceable></literal>
during installation (for example, during
<literal>fixupPhase</literal>). <literal>wrapQtProgram</literal>
accepts the same options as <literal>makeWrapper</literal>.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="ssec-qt-kde"><title>KDE</title>
<para>Many of the considerations above also apply to KDE packages,
especially the need to set the correct environment variables at
runtime. To ensure that this is done, invoke <literal>wrapKDEProgram
<replaceable>program</replaceable></literal> during
installation. <literal>wrapKDEProgram</literal> also generates a
<literal>ksycoca</literal> database so that required data and services
can be found. Like its Qt counterpart,
<literal>wrapKDEProgram</literal> accepts the same options as
<literal>makeWrapper</literal>.</para>

<title>Ruby</title>
<para>There currently is support to bundle applications that are packaged as Ruby gems. The utility "bundix" allows you to write a <filename>Gemfile</filename>, let bundler create a <filename>Gemfile.lock</filename>, and then convert
this into a nix expression that contains all Gem dependencies automatically.</para>
<para>For example, to package sensu, we did:</para>
<screen>
<![CDATA[$ cd pkgs/servers/monitoring
$ mkdir sensu
$ cd sensu
$ cat > Gemfile
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'sensu'
$ nix-shell -p bundler --command "bundler package --path /tmp/vendor/bundle"
$ $(nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A bundix)/bin/bundix
$ cat > default.nix
{ lib, bundlerEnv, ruby }:
bundlerEnv rec {
name = "sensu-${version}";
version = (import gemset).sensu.version;
inherit ruby;
gemfile = ./Gemfile;
lockfile = ./Gemfile.lock;
gemset = ./gemset.nix;
meta = with lib; {
description = "A monitoring framework that aims to be simple, malleable, and scalable";
homepage = http://sensuapp.org/;
license = with licenses; mit;
maintainers = with maintainers; [ theuni ];
platforms = platforms.unix;
};
}]]>
</screen>
<para>Please check in the <filename>Gemfile</filename>, <filename>Gemfile.lock</filename> and the <filename>gemset.nix</filename> so future updates can be run easily.
</para>
<para>Resulting derivations also have two helpful items, <literal>env</literal> and <literal>wrapper</literal>. The first one allows one to quickly drop into
<command>nix-shell</command> with the specified environment present. E.g. <command>nix-shell -A sensu.env</command> would give you an environment with Ruby preset
so it has all the libraries necessary for <literal>sensu</literal> in its paths. The second one can be used to make derivations from custom Ruby scripts which have
<filename>Gemfile</filename>s with their dependencies specified. It is a derivation with <command>ruby</command> wrapped so it can find all the needed dependencies.
For example, to make a derivation <literal>my-script</literal> for a <filename>my-script.rb</filename> (which should be placed in <filename>bin</filename>) you should
run <command>bundix</command> as specified above and then use <literal>bundlerEnv</literal> lile this:</para>
<programlisting>
<![CDATA[let env = bundlerEnv {

<title>Multiple-output packages</title>
<section><title>Introduction</title>
<para>The Nix language allows a derivation to produce multiple outputs, which is similar to what is utilized by other Linux distribution packaging systems. The outputs reside in separate nix store paths, so they can be mostly handled independently of each other, including passing to build inputs, garbage collection or binary substitution. The exception is that building from source always produces all the outputs.</para>
<para>The main motivation is to save disk space by reducing runtime closure sizes; consequently also sizes of substituted binaries get reduced. Splitting can be used to have more granular runtime dependencies, for example the typical reduction is to split away development-only files, as those are typically not needed during runtime. As a result, closure sizes of many packages can get reduced to a half or even much less.</para>
<note><para>The reduction effects could be instead achieved by building the parts in completely separate derivations. That would often additionally reduce build-time closures, but it tends to be much harder to write such derivations, as build systems typically assume all parts are being built at once. This compromise approach of single source package producing multiple binary packages is also utilized often by rpm and deb.</para></note>
</section>
<section><title>Installing a split package</title>
<para>When installing a package via <varname>systemPackages</varname> or <command>nix-env</command> you have several options:</para>
<warning><para>Currently <command>nix-env</command> almost always installs all outputs until https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/815 gets merged.</para></warning>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>You can install particular outputs explicitly, as each is available in the Nix language as an attribute of the package. The <varname>outputs</varname> attribute contains a list of output names.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>You can let it use the default outputs. These are handled by <varname>meta.outputsToInstall</varname> attribute that contains a list of output names.</para>
<para>TODO: more about tweaking the attribute, etc.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>NixOS provides configuration option <varname>environment.extraOutputsToInstall</varname> that allows adding extra outputs of <varname>environment.systemPackages</varname> atop the default ones. It's mainly meant for documentation and debug symbols, and it's also modified by specific options.</para>
<note><para>At this moment there is no similar configurability for packages installed by <command>nix-env</command>. You can still use approach from <xref linkend="sec-modify-via-packageOverrides" /> to override <varname>meta.outputsToInstall</varname> attributes, but that's a rather inconvenient way.</para></note>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</section>
<section><title>Using a split package</title>
<para>In the Nix language the individual outputs can be reached explicitly as attributes, e.g. <varname>coreutils.info</varname>, but the typical case is just using packages as build inputs.</para>
<para>When a multiple-output derivation gets into a build input of another derivation, the first output is added (<varname>.dev</varname> by convention) and also <varname>propagatedBuildOutputs</varname> of that package which by default contain <varname>$outputBin</varname> and <varname>$outputLib</varname>. (See <xref linkend="multiple-output-file-type-groups" />.)</para>
</section>
<section><title>Writing a split derivation</title>
<para>Here you find how to write a derivation that produces multiple outputs.</para>
<para>In nixpkgs there is a framework supporting multiple-output derivations. It tries to cover most cases by default behavior. You can find the source separated in &lt;<filename>nixpkgs/pkgs/build-support/setup-hooks/multiple-outputs.sh</filename>&gt;; it's relatively well-readable. The whole machinery is triggered by defining the <varname>outputs</varname> attribute to contain the list of desired output names (strings).</para>
<programlisting>outputs = [ "dev" "out" "bin" "doc" ];</programlisting>
<para>Often such a single line is enough. For each output an equally named environment variable is passed to the builder and contains the path in nix store for that output. By convention, the first output should usually be <varname>dev</varname>; typically you also want to have the main <varname>out</varname> output, as it catches any files that didn't get elsewhere.</para>
<note><para>There is a special handling of the <varname>debug</varname> output, described at <xref linkend="stdenv-separateDebugInfo" />.</para></note>

Setting up a cross compiler with Nix
"Cross compilation" means compiling a program on one machine for another
type of machine. A typical use of cross compilation is to compile programs
for embedded devices. These devices often don't have the computing power
and memory to compile programs natively.
For a fully working cross compiler the following are needed:
* cross binutils: assembler, archiver, linker, etcetera that understand
the format of the target system
* cross compiler: a compiler that can generate binary code and object files
for the target platform
* cross C library: a library to link object files with to create fully
functional programs
Cross compilers are difficult to set up. A lot of people report that they
cannot succeed in building a cross toolchain successfully. The answers
usually consist of "download this pre-built toolchain", which is equally
unhelpful.
A toolchain is set up in five steps:
1. build binutils to that can run on the host platform, but generate code
for the target platform
2. build Linux kernel headers for the target platform
3. build a minimal C only version of GCC, that can run on the host platform
and generate code for the target platform
4. build a C library for the target platform. This includes the dynamic
linker, C library, etc.
5. build a full GCC
****
NB:
Keep in mind that many programs are not very well suited for cross
compilation. Either they are not intended to run on other platforms,
because the code is highly platform specific, or the configuration process
is not written with cross compilation in mind.
Nix will not solve these problems for you!
***
This document describes to set up a cross compiler to generate code for
arm-linux with uClibc and runs on i686-linux. The "stdenv" used is the
default from the standard Nix packages collection.
Step 1: build binutils for arm-linux in the stdenv for i686-linux
---
{stdenv, fetchurl, noSysDirs}:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "binutils-2.16.1-arm";
builder = ./builder.sh;
src = fetchurl {
url = http://ftp.nluug.nl/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.16.1.tar.bz2;
md5 = "6a9d529efb285071dad10e1f3d2b2967";
};
inherit noSysDirs;
configureFlags = "--target=arm-linux";
}
---
This will compile binutils that will run on i686-linux, but knows the
format used by arm-linux.
Step 2: build kernel headers for the target architecture
default.nix for kernel-headers-arm:
---
{stdenv, fetchurl}:
assert stdenv.system == "i686-linux";
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "linux-headers-2.6.13.4-arm";
builder = ./builder.sh;
src = fetchurl {
url = http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.13.4.tar.bz2;
md5 = "94768d7eef90a9d8174639b2a7d3f58d";
};
}
---
builder.sh for kernel-headers-arm:
---
source $stdenv/setup
buildPhase() {
make include/linux/version.h
}
buildPhase=buildPhase
installPhase() {
mkdir $out
mkdir $out/include
#cd $out/include
#ln -s asm-arm asm
make include/asm ARCH=arm
cp -prvd include/linux include/asm include/asm-arm include/asm-generic $out/include
echo -n > $out/include/linux/autoconf.h
}
installPhase=installPhase
genericBuild
---
Step 3: build a minimal GCC
Extra/different parameters include the target platform and the kernel
headers argument (this needs a major cleanup, as well as the name, it
needs to be different!). Profiled compilers are disabled. The tarball
used here is just gcc-core. For some reason it doesn't install nicely
if the whole tarball is used (or is this some braino on my side? -- AH).
Only C is used, because for other languages (such as C++) extra libraries
need to be compiled, for which libraries compiled for the target system
are needed.
There is a bit of evilness going on. The cross compiled utilities need
to be either copied to or be linked from the output tree of the compiler.
(Is this really true? Back this up with arguments! -- AH)
Symbolic links are not something we want inside the Nix store.
---
{ stdenv, fetchurl, noSysDirs
, langC ? true, langCC ? true, langF77 ? false
, profiledCompiler ? false
, binutilsArm
, kernelHeadersArm
}:
assert langC;
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "gcc-4.0.2-arm";
builder = ./builder.sh;
src = fetchurl {
url = ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.0.2/gcc-core-4.0.2.tar.bz2;
md5 = "f7781398ada62ba255486673e6274b26";
#url = ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.0.2/gcc-4.0.2.tar.bz2;
#md5 = "a659b8388cac9db2b13e056e574ceeb0";
};
# !!! apply only if noSysDirs is set
patches = [./no-sys-dirs.patch ./gcc-inhibit.patch];
inherit noSysDirs langC langCC langF77 profiledCompiler;
buildInputs = [binutilsArm];
inherit kernelHeadersArm binutilsArm;
platform = "arm-linux";
}
---
The builder.sh for a cross-compiler. Note that the binutils are prefixed
with the architecture name, so arm-linux-ld instead of ld, etc. This is
necessary because when we cross-compile a lot of programs look for these
tools with these specific names. The standard gcc-wrapper does not take this
into account yet.

Step 4: build a C library for the target platform.
The previous steps are enough to compile a C library. In our case we take
uClibc. It's intended to be a small sized replacement for glibc. It is widely
used in embedded environments.
...
Step 5: Build a compiler to link with the newly built C library.
...
If we restrict the compiler to just C programs it is relatively easy,
since we only need to wrap the GCC we built in the previous step with all
the right tools and the right C library. Successfully compiled programs with
this compiler and verified to be working on a HP Jornada 820 running Linux
are "patch", "make" and "wget".
If we want to build C++ programs it gets a lot more difficult. GCC has a
three step compilation process. In the first step a simple compiler, called
xgcc, that can compile only C programs is built. With that compiler it
compiles itself two more times: one time to build a full compiler, and another
time to build a full compiler once again with the freshly built compiler from
step 2. In the second and third step support for C++ is compiled, if this
is configured.
One of the libraries that has to be built for C++ support step is libstdc++.
This library uses xgcc, even when cross compiling, since libstdc++ has to be
compiled for arm-linux.
One of the compiler flags that GCC uses for this compiler is called X_CFLAGS.
This is used by the Nix build process to set the dynamic linker, glibc
in the case of i686-linux using the default Nix packages collection.
Obiously, since we need to compile libstc++ for arm-linux with uClibc linking
will not be done correctly: you can't link object files built for arm-linux
with a glibc built for i686-linux.
Setting X_CFLAGS to use the uClibc libraries and dynamic linker will fail
too. Earlier on in the build process these flags are used to compile important
files like libgcc.a by the host system gcc, which does need to be linked
to glibc. To make this work correctly you will need to carefully juggle
with compilation flags. This is still work in progress for Nix.
---
After successfully completing the whole toolchain you can start building
packages with the newly built tools. To make everything build correctly
you will need a stdenv for your target platform. Setting up this platform
will take some effort. Right now there is a very experimental setup for
arm-linux, which needs to be cleaned up before it is production ready.
Please note that many packages are not well suited for cross-compilation.
Even though the package itself might be very well portable often the
buildscripts are not. One thing that we have seen that causes frequent
build failures is the use of the LD variable. This is often set to 'ld'
and not $(CROSS)-ld.

Semi-automatic source information updating using "update-upstream-data.sh" script and "src-{,info-}for-*.nix"
1. Recognizing when a pre-existing package uses this mechanism.
Packages using this automatical update mechanism have src-info-for-default.nix and src-for-default.nix next to default.nix. src-info-for-default.nix describes getting the freshest source from upstream web site; src-for-default.nix is a generated file with the current data about used source. Both files define a simple attrSet.
src-info-for-default.nix (for a file grabbed via http) contains at least downloadPage attribute - it is the page we need to look at to find out the latest version. It also contains baseName that is used for automatical generation of package name containing version. It can contain extra data for trickier cases.
src-for-default.nix will contain advertisedUrl (raw URL chosen on the site; its change prompts regeneration of source data), url for fetchurl, hash, version retrieved from the download URL and suggested package name.
2. Updating a package
nixpkgs/pkgs/build-support/upstream-updater directory contains some scripts. The worker script is called update-upstream-data.sh. This script requires main expression name (e.g. default.nix). It can optionally accpet a second parameter, URL which will be used instead of getting one by parsing the downloadPage (version extraction, mirror URL creation etc. will still be run). After running the script, check src-for-default.nix (or replace default.nix with expression name, if there are seceral expressions in the directory) for new version information.

Nixpkgs provides a number of packages that will install Eclipse in
its various forms, these range from the bare-bones Eclipse
Platform to the more fully featured Eclipse SDK or Scala-IDE
packages and multiple version are often available. It is possible
to list available Eclipse packages by issuing the command:
<screen>
$ nix-env -f '&lt;nixpkgs&gt;' -qaP -A eclipses --description
</screen>
Once an Eclipse variant is installed it can be run using the
<command>eclipse</command> command, as expected. From within
Eclipse it is then possible to install plugins in the usual manner
by either manually specifying an Eclipse update site or by
installing the Marketplace Client plugin and using it to discover
and install other plugins. This installation method provides an
Eclipse installation that closely resemble a manually installed
Eclipse.
</para>
<para>
If you prefer to install plugins in a more declarative manner then
Nixpkgs also offer a number of Eclipse plugins that can be
installed in an <emphasis>Eclipse environment</emphasis>. This
type of environment is created using the function
<varname>eclipseWithPlugins</varname> found inside the
<varname>nixpkgs.eclipses</varname> attribute set. This function
takes as argument <literal>{ eclipse, plugins ? [], jvmArgs ? []
}</literal> where <varname>eclipse</varname> is a one of the
Eclipse packages described above, <varname>plugins</varname> is a
list of plugin derivations, and <varname>jvmArgs</varname> is a
list of arguments given to the JVM running the Eclipse. For
example, say you wish to install the latest Eclipse Platform with
the popular Eclipse Color Theme plugin and also allow Eclipse to
use more RAM. You could then add
<screen>
packageOverrides = pkgs: {
myEclipse = with pkgs.eclipses; eclipseWithPlugins {
eclipse = eclipse-platform;
jvmArgs = [ "-Xmx2048m" ];
plugins = [ plugins.color-theme ];
};
}
</screen>
to your Nixpkgs configuration
(<filename>~/.nixpkgs/config.nix</filename>) and install it by
running <command>nix-env -f '&lt;nixpkgs&gt;' -iA
myEclipse</command> and afterward run Eclipse as usual. It is
possible to find out which plugins are available for installation
using <varname>eclipseWithPlugins</varname> by running
<screen>
$ nix-env -f '&lt;nixpkgs&gt;' -qaP -A eclipses.plugins --description
</screen>
</para>
<para>
If there is a need to install plugins that are not available in
Nixpkgs then it may be possible to define these plugins outside
Nixpkgs using the <varname>buildEclipseUpdateSite</varname> and
<varname>buildEclipsePlugin</varname> functions found in the
<varname>nixpkgs.eclipses.plugins</varname> attribute set. Use the
<varname>buildEclipseUpdateSite</varname> function to install a
plugin distributed as an Eclipse update site. This function takes
<literal>{ name, src }</literal> as argument where
<literal>src</literal> indicates the Eclipse update site archive.
All Eclipse features and plugins within the downloaded update site
will be installed. When an update site archive is not available
then the <varname>buildEclipsePlugin</varname> function can be
used to install a plugin that consists of a pair of feature and
plugin JARs. This function takes an argument <literal>{ name,
srcFeature, srcPlugin }</literal> where
<literal>srcFeature</literal> and <literal>srcPlugin</literal> are
the feature and plugin JARs, respectively.
</para>
<para>
Expanding the previous example with two plugins using the above
functions we have
<screen>
packageOverrides = pkgs: {
myEclipse = with pkgs.eclipses; eclipseWithPlugins {
eclipse = eclipse-platform;
jvmArgs = [ "-Xmx2048m" ];
plugins = [

<title>Elm</title>
<para>
The Nix expressions for Elm reside in
<filename>pkgs/development/compilers/elm</filename>. They are generated
automatically by <command>update-elm.rb</command> script. One should
specify versions of Elm packages inside the script, clear the
<filename>packages</filename> directory and run the script from inside it.
<literal>elm-reactor</literal> is special because it also has Elm package
dependencies. The process is not automated very much for now -- you should
get the <literal>elm-reactor</literal> source tree (e.g. with
<command>nix-shell</command>) and run <command>elm2nix.rb</command> inside
it. Place the resulting <filename>package.nix</filename> file into
<filename>packages/elm-reactor-elm.nix</filename>.

<title>Autojump</title>
<para>
autojump needs the shell integration to be useful but unlike other systems,
nix doesn't have a standard share directory location. This is why a
<command>autojump-share</command> script is shipped that prints the location
of the shared folder. This can then be used in the .bashrc like this:
<screen>
source "$(autojump-share)/autojump.bash"

<title>Quick Start to Adding a Package</title>
<para>To add a package to Nixpkgs:
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Checkout the Nixpkgs source tree:
<screen>
$ git clone git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git
$ cd nixpkgs</screen>
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Find a good place in the Nixpkgs tree to add the Nix
expression for your package. For instance, a library package
typically goes into
<filename>pkgs/development/libraries/<replaceable>pkgname</replaceable></filename>,
while a web browser goes into
<filename>pkgs/applications/networking/browsers/<replaceable>pkgname</replaceable></filename>.
See <xref linkend="sec-organisation" /> for some hints on the tree
organisation. Create a directory for your package, e.g.
<screen>
$ mkdir pkgs/development/libraries/libfoo</screen>
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>In the package directory, create a Nix expression — a piece
of code that describes how to build the package. In this case, it
should be a <emphasis>function</emphasis> that is called with the
package dependencies as arguments, and returns a build of the
package in the Nix store. The expression should usually be called
<filename>default.nix</filename>.
<screen>
$ emacs pkgs/development/libraries/libfoo/default.nix
$ git add pkgs/development/libraries/libfoo/default.nix</screen>
</para>
<para>You can have a look at the existing Nix expressions under
<filename>pkgs/</filename> to see how its done. Here are some
good ones:
<itemizedlist>

<para>GNU Hello: <link

Trivial package, which specifies some <varname>meta</varname>
attributes which is good practice.</para>

Also a simple package. The generic builder in
<varname>stdenv</varname> does everything for you. It has
no dependencies beyond <varname>stdenv</varname>.</para>

</section>
<section><title>Release 0.11 (September 11, 2007)</title>
<para>This release has the following improvements:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>The standard build environment
(<literal>stdenv</literal>) is now pure on the
<literal>x86_64-linux</literal> and <literal>powerpc-linux</literal>
platforms, just as on <literal>i686-linux</literal>. (Purity means
that building and using the standard environment has no dependencies
outside of the Nix store. For instance, it doesnt require an
external C compiler such as <filename>/usr/bin/gcc</filename>.)
Also, the statically linked binaries used in the bootstrap process
are now automatically reproducible, making it easy to update the
bootstrap tools and to add support for other Linux platforms. See
<filename>pkgs/stdenv/linux/make-bootstrap-tools.nix</filename> for
details.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Hook variables in the generic builder are now
executed using the <function>eval</function> shell command. This
has a major advantage: you can write hooks directly in Nix
expressions. For instance, rather than writing a builder like this:
<programlisting>
source $stdenv/setup
postInstall=postInstall
postInstall() {
ln -sf gzip $out/bin/gunzip
ln -sf gzip $out/bin/zcat
}
genericBuild</programlisting>
(the <literal>gzip</literal> builder), you can just add this
attribute to the derivation:
<programlisting>
postInstall = "ln -sf gzip $out/bin/gunzip; ln -sf gzip $out/bin/zcat";</programlisting>
and so a separate build script becomes unnecessary. This should
allow us to get rid of most builders in Nixpkgs.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>It is now possible to have the generic builder pass
arguments to <command>configure</command> and
<command>make</command> that contain whitespace. Previously, for
example, you could say in a builder,
<programlisting>
configureFlags="CFLAGS=-O0"</programlisting>
but not
<programlisting>
configureFlags="CFLAGS=-O0 -g"</programlisting>
since the <literal>-g</literal> would be interpreted as a separate
argument to <command>configure</command>. Now you can say
<programlisting>
configureFlagsArray=("CFLAGS=-O0 -g")</programlisting>
or similarly
<programlisting>
configureFlagsArray=("CFLAGS=-O0 -g" "LDFLAGS=-L/foo -L/bar")</programlisting>
which does the right thing. Idem for <literal>makeFlags</literal>,
<literal>installFlags</literal>, <literal>checkFlags</literal> and
<literal>distFlags</literal>.</para>
<para>Unfortunately you can't pass arrays to Bash through the
environment, so you can't put the array above in a Nix expression,
e.g.,
<programlisting>
configureFlagsArray = ["CFLAGS=-O0 -g"];</programlisting>
since it would just be flattened to a since string. However, you
<emphasis>can</emphasis> use the inline hooks described above:
<programlisting>
preConfigure = "configureFlagsArray=(\"CFLAGS=-O0 -g\")";</programlisting>
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The function <function>fetchurl</function> now has
support for two different kinds of mirroring of files. First, it
has support for <emphasis>content-addressable mirrors</emphasis>.
For example, given the <function>fetchurl</function> call
<programlisting>
fetchurl {
url = http://releases.mozilla.org/<replaceable>...</replaceable>/firefox-2.0.0.6-source.tar.bz2;
sha1 = "eb72f55e4a8bf08e8c6ef227c0ade3d068ba1082";
}</programlisting>
<function>fetchurl</function> will first try to download this file
from <link
xlink:href="http://tarballs.nixos.org/sha1/eb72f55e4a8bf08e8c6ef227c0ade3d068ba1082"/>.
If that file doesnt exist, it will try the original URL. In
general, the “content-addressed” location is
<replaceable>mirror</replaceable><literal>/</literal><replaceable>hash-type</replaceable><literal>/</literal><replaceable>hash</replaceable>.
There is currently only one content-addressable mirror (<link
xlink:href="http://tarballs.nixos.org"/>), but more can be
specified in the <varname>hashedMirrors</varname> attribute in
<filename>pkgs/build-support/fetchurl/mirrors.nix</filename>, or by
setting the <envar>NIX_HASHED_MIRRORS</envar> environment variable
to a whitespace-separated list of URLs.</para>
<para>Second, <function>fetchurl</function> has support for
widely-mirrored distribution sites such as SourceForge or the Linux
kernel archives. Given a URL of the form
<literal>mirror://<replaceable>site</replaceable>/<replaceable>path</replaceable></literal>,
it will try to download <replaceable>path</replaceable> from a
configurable list of mirrors for <replaceable>site</replaceable>.
(This idea was borrowed from Gentoo Linux.) Example:
<programlisting>
fetchurl {
url = mirror://gnu/gcc/gcc-4.2.0/gcc-core-4.2.0.tar.bz2;
sha256 = "0ykhzxhr8857dr97z0j9wyybfz1kjr71xk457cfapfw5fjas4ny1";
}</programlisting>
Currently <replaceable>site</replaceable> can be
<literal>sourceforge</literal>, <literal>gnu</literal> and
<literal>kernel</literal>. The list of mirrors is defined in
<filename>pkgs/build-support/fetchurl/mirrors.nix</filename>. You
can override the list of mirrors for a particular site by setting
the environment variable
<envar>NIX_MIRRORS_<replaceable>site</replaceable></envar>, e.g.
<programlisting>
export NIX_MIRRORS_sourceforge=http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/</programlisting>

<note><para>This release of Nixpkgs requires <link

0.10</link> or higher.</para></note>
<para>This release has the following improvements:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><filename>pkgs/system/all-packages-generic.nix</filename>
is gone, we now just have
<filename>pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix</filename> that contains
all available packages. This should cause much less confusion with
users. <filename>all-packages.nix</filename> is a function that by
default returns packages for the current platform, but you can
override this by specifying a different <varname>system</varname>
argument.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Certain packages in Nixpkgs are now
user-configurable through a configuration file, i.e., without having
to edit the Nix expressions in Nixpkgs. For instance, the Firefox
provided in the Nixpkgs channel is built without the RealPlayer
plugin (for legal reasons). Previously, you could easily enable
RealPlayer support by editing the call to the Firefox function in
<filename>all-packages.nix</filename>, but such changes are not
respected when Firefox is subsequently updated through the Nixpkgs
channel.</para>
<para>The Nixpkgs configuration file (found in
<filename>~/.nixpkgs/config.nix</filename> or through the
<envar>NIXPKGS_CONFIG</envar> environment variable) is an attribute
set that contains configuration options that
<filename>all-packages.nix</filename> reads and uses for certain
packages. For instance, the following configuration file:
<programlisting>
{
firefox = {
enableRealPlayer = true;
};
}</programlisting>
persistently enables RealPlayer support in the Firefox
build.</para>
<para>(Actually, <literal>firefox.enableRealPlayer</literal> is the
<emphasis>only</emphasis> configuration option currently available,
but more are sure to be added.)</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Support for new platforms:

<listitem><para><literal>i686-cygwin</literal>, i.e., Windows
(using <link xlink:href="http://www.cygwin.com/">Cygwin</link>).
The standard environment on <literal>i686-cygwin</literal> by
default builds binaries for the Cygwin environment (i.e., it
uses Cygwin tools and produces executables that use the Cygwin
library). However, there is also a standard environment that
produces binaries that use <link
xlink:href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</link>. You can use it
by calling <filename>all-package.nix</filename> with the
<varname>stdenvType</varname> argument set to
<literal>"i686-mingw"</literal>.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><literal>i686-darwin</literal>, i.e., Mac OS X
on Intel CPUs.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><literal>powerpc-linux</literal>.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><literal>x86_64-linux</literal>, i.e., Linux on
64-bit AMD/Intel CPUs. Unlike <literal>i686-linux</literal>,
this platform doesnt have a pure <literal>stdenv</literal>
yet.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem><para>The default compiler is now GCC 4.1.1.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>Opera.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition and
the Windows SDK.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
In total there are now around 809 packages in Nixpkgs.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem><para>It is now <emphasis>much</emphasis> easier to
override the default C compiler and other tools in
<literal>stdenv</literal> for specific packages.
<filename>all-packages.nix</filename> provides two utility
functions for this purpose: <function>overrideGCC</function> and
<function>overrideInStdenv</function>. Both take a
<literal>stdenv</literal> and return an augmented
<literal>stdenv</literal>; the formed changes the C compiler, and
the latter adds additional packages to the front of
<literal>stdenv</literal>s initial <envar>PATH</envar>, allowing
tools to be overridden.</para>
<para>For instance, the package <varname>strategoxt</varname>
doesnt build with the GNU Make in <literal>stdenv</literal>
(version 3.81), so we call it with an augmented
<literal>stdenv</literal> that uses GNU Make 3.80:
<programlisting>
strategoxt = (import ../development/compilers/strategoxt) {
inherit fetchurl pkgconfig sdf aterm;
stdenv = overrideInStdenv stdenv [gnumake380];
};
gnumake380 = <replaceable>...</replaceable>;</programlisting>
Likewise, there are many packages that dont compile with the
default GCC (4.1.1), but thats easily fixed:
<programlisting>
exult = import ../games/exult {
inherit fetchurl SDL SDL_mixer zlib libpng unzip;
stdenv = overrideGCC stdenv gcc34;
};</programlisting>
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>It has also become much easier to experiment with
changes to the <literal>stdenv</literal> setup script (which notably
contains the generic builder). Since edits to
<filename>pkgs/stdenv/generic/setup.sh</filename> trigger a rebuild
of <emphasis>everything</emphasis>, this was formerly quite painful.
But now <literal>stdenv</literal> contains a function to
“regenerate” <literal>stdenv</literal> with a different setup
script, allowing the use of a different setup script for specific
packages:
<programlisting>
pkg = import <replaceable>...</replaceable> {
stdenv = stdenv.regenerate ./my-setup.sh;
<replaceable>...</replaceable>
}</programlisting>
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Packages can now have a human-readable
<emphasis>description</emphasis> field. Package descriptions are
shown by <literal>nix-env -qa --description</literal>. In addition,
theyre shown on the Nixpkgs release page. A description can be
added to a package as follows:
<programlisting>
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "exult-1.2";
<replaceable>...</replaceable>
meta = {
description = "A reimplementation of the Ultima VII game engine";
};
}</programlisting>
The <varname>meta</varname> attribute is not passed to the builder,
so changes to the description do not trigger a rebuild. Additional
<varname>meta</varname> attributes may be defined in the future

<section><title>Release 0.9 (January 31, 2006)</title>
<para>There have been zillions of changes since the last release of
Nixpkgs. Many packages have been added or updated. The following are
some of the more notable changes:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>Distribution files have been moved to <link
xlink:href="http://nixos.org/" />.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The C library on Linux, Glibc, has been updated to
version 2.3.6.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The default compiler is now GCC 3.4.5. GCC 4.0.2 is
also available.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The old, unofficial Xlibs has been replaced by the
official modularised X11 distribution from X.org, i.e., X11R7.0.
X11R7.0 consists of 287 (!) packages, all of which are in Nixpkgs
though not all have been tested. It is now possible to build a
working X server (previously we only had X client libraries). We
use a fully Nixified X server on NixOS.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The Sun JDK 5 has been purified, i.e., it doesnt
require any non-Nix components such as
<filename>/lib/ld-linux.so.2</filename>. This means that Java
applications such as Eclipse and Azureus can run on
NixOS.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Hardware-accelerated OpenGL support, used by games
like Quake 3 (which is now built from source).</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Improved support for FreeBSD on
x86.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Improved Haskell support; e.g., the GHC build is now
pure.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Some support for cross-compilation: cross-compiling
builds of GCC and Binutils, and cross-compiled builds of the C
library uClibc.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Notable new packages:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>teTeX, including support for building LaTeX
documents using Nix (with automatic dependency
determination).</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Ruby.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>System-level packages to support NixOS,
e.g. Grub, GNU <literal>parted</literal> and so
on.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><literal>ecj</literal>, the Eclipse Compiler for
Java, so we finally have a freely distributable compiler that
supports Java 5.0.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><literal>php</literal>.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The GIMP.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Inkscape.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>GAIM.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><literal>kdelibs</literal>. This allows us to
add KDE-based packages (such as
<literal>kcachegrind</literal>).</para></listitem>

<section><title>Release 0.8 (April 11, 2005)</title>
<para>This release is mostly to remain synchronised with the changed
hashing scheme in Nix 0.8.</para>
<para>Notable updates:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>Adobe Reader 7.0</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Various security updates (zlib 1.2.2, etc.)</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>

<section><title>Release 0.7 (March 14, 2005)</title>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The bootstrap process for the standard build
environment on Linux (stdenv-linux) has been improved. It is no
longer dependent in its initial bootstrap stages on the system
Glibc, GCC, and other tools. Rather, Nixpkgs contains a statically
linked bash and curl, and uses that to download other statically
linked tools. These are then used to build a Glibc and dynamically
linked versions of all other tools.</para>
<para>This change also makes the bootstrap process faster. For
instance, GCC is built only once instead of three times.</para>
<para>(Contributed by Armijn Hemel.)</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Tarballs used by Nixpkgs are now obtained from the same server
that hosts Nixpkgs (<link
xlink:href="http://catamaran.labs.cs.uu.nl/" />). This reduces the
risk of packages being unbuildable due to moved or deleted files on
various servers.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>There now is a generic mechanism for building Perl modules.
See the various Perl modules defined in
pkgs/system/all-packages-generic.nix.</para>

<para>Notable new packages:

<listitem>
<para>
If you're cherry-picking a commit to a stable release branch, always use
<command>git cherry-pick -xe</command> and ensure the message contains a
clear description about why this needs to be included in the stable
branch.
</para>
<para>An example of a cherry-picked commit would look like this:</para>
<screen>
nixos: Refactor the world.
The original commit message describing the reason why the world was torn apart.
(cherry picked from commit abcdef)
Reason: I just had a gut feeling that this would also be wanted by people from
the stone age.

# 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 ${name}";
# # attention, "name" attr is missing, thus you cannot instantiate "base".
# }
# in {
# # These all add name attribute, thus you can instantiate those:
# v1 = base.merge ({ name = "foo-add-B"; buildInputs = [B]; }); // B gets merged into buildInputs
# v2 = base.merge ({ name = "mix-in-pre-configure-lines" preConfigre = ""; });
# v3 = base.replace ({ name = "foo-no-A-only-B;" buildInputs = [B]; });
# }
#
# So yes, you can think about it being something like nixos modules, and
# you'd be merging "features" in one at a time using .merge or .replace
# Thanks Shea for telling me that I rethink the documentation ..
#
# issues:
# * its complicated to understand
# * some "features" such as exact merge behaviour are burried in mergeAttrBy
# and defaultOverridableDelayableArgs assuming the default behaviour does
# the right thing in the common case
# * Eelco once said using such fix style functions are slow to evaluate
# * Too quick & dirty. Hard to understand for others. The benefit was that
# you were able to create a kernel builder like base derivation and replace
# / add patches the way you want without having to declare function arguments
#
# nice features:
# declaring "optional featuers" is modular. For instance:
# flags.curl = {
# configureFlags = ["--with-curl=${curl}" "--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
