/*
Usage:
You define you custom builder script by adding all build steps to a list.
for example:
builder = writeScript "fsg-4.4-builder"
(textClosure [doUnpack addInputs preBuild doMake installPhase doForceShare]);
a step is defined by noDepEntry, fullDepEntry or packEntry.
To ensure that prerequisite are met those are added before the task itself by
textClosureDupList. Duplicated items are removed again.
See trace/nixpkgs/trunk/pkgs/top-level/builder-defs.nix for some predefined build steps
Attention:
let
pkgs = (import /etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix) {};
in let
inherit (pkgs.stringsWithDeps) fullDepEntry packEntry noDepEntry textClosureMap;
inherit (pkgs.lib) id;
nameA = noDepEntry "Text a";
nameB = fullDepEntry "Text b" ["nameA"];
nameC = fullDepEntry "Text c" ["nameA"];
stages = {
nameHeader = noDepEntry "#! /bin/sh \n";
inherit nameA nameB nameC;
};
in
textClosureMap id stages
[ "nameHeader" "nameA" "nameB" "nameC"
nameC # <- added twice. add a dep entry if you know that it will be added once only [1]
"nameB" # <- this will not be added again because the attr name (reference) is used
]
# result: Str("#! /bin/sh \n\nText a\nText b\nText c\nText c",[])
[1] maybe this behaviour should be removed to keep things simple (?)
