Whenever we create scripts that are installed to $out, we must use runtimeShell in order to get the shell that can be executed on the machine we create the package for. This is relevant for cross-compiling. The only use case for stdenv.shell are scripts that are executed as part of the build system. Usages in checkPhase are borderline however to decrease the likelyhood of people copying the wrong examples, I decided to use runtimeShell as well.

This function is analogous to the <command>docker export</command> command,
|
|
in that it can be used to flatten a Docker image that contains multiple layers. It
|
|
is in fact the result of the merge of all the layers of the image. As such,
|
|
the result is suitable for being imported in Docker with <command>docker
|
|
import</command>.

Using this function requires the <literal>kvm</literal> device to be

available.

The parameters relative to the base image have the same synopsis as

described in <xref linkend='ssec-pkgs-dockerTools-buildImage'/>, except that
|
|
<varname>fromImage</varname> is the only required argument in this case.

</para>

<para>
|

The <varname>name</varname> argument is the name of the derivation output,

which defaults to <varname>fromImage.name</varname>.

This constant string is a helper for setting up the base files for managing

users and groups, only if such files don't exist already. It is suitable for

being used in a <varname>runAsRoot</varname>
