/* `overrideDerivation drv f' takes a derivation (i.e., the result
|
|
of a call to the builtin function `derivation') and returns a new
|
|
derivation in which the attributes of the original are overriden
|
|
according to the function `f'. This function is called with the
|
|
original derivation attributes.
|
|
|
|
`overrideDerivation' allows certain "ad-hoc" customisation
|
|
scenarios (e.g. in ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix). For instance, if you
|
|
want to "patch" the derivation returned by a package function in
|
|
Nixpkgs to build another version than what the function itself
|
|
provides, you can do something like this:
|
|
|
|
mySed = overrideDerivation pkgs.gnused (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 = [];
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
For another application, see build-support/vm, where this
|
|
function is used to build arbitrary derivations inside a QEMU
|
|
virtual machine. */

overrideDerivation = drv: f:

let

# Filter out special attributes.

attrs = removeAttrs drv ["meta" "passthru" "outPath" "drvPath"];

newDrv = derivation (attrs // (f drv));
