# The `splicedPackages' package set, and its use by `callPackage`
|
|
#
|
|
# The `buildPackages` pkg set is a new concept, and the vast majority package
|
|
# expression (the other *.nix files) are not designed with it in mind. This
|
|
# presents us with a problem with how to get the right version (build-time vs
|
|
# run-time) of a package to a consumer that isn't used to thinking so cleverly.
|
|
#
|
|
# The solution is to splice the package sets together as we do below, so every
|
|
# `callPackage`d expression in fact gets both versions. Each# derivation (and
|
|
# each derivation's outputs) consists of the run-time version, augmented with a
|
|
# `nativeDrv` field for the build-time version, and `crossDrv` field for the
|
|
# run-time version.
|
|
#
|
|
# We could have used any names we want for the disambiguated versions, but
|
|
# `crossDrv` and `nativeDrv` were somewhat similarly used for the old
|
|
# cross-compiling infrastructure. The names are mostly invisible as
|
|
# `mkDerivation` knows how to pull out the right ones for `buildDepends` and
|
|
# friends, but a few packages use them directly, so it seemed efficient (to
|
|
# @Ericson2314) to reuse those names, at least initially, to minimize breakage.
|
|
#
|
|
# For performance reasons, rather than uniformally splice in all cases, we only
|
|
# do so when `pkgs` and `buildPackages` are distinct. The `actuallySplice`
|
|
# parameter there the boolean value of that equality check.
