And, as usual, every package in the overlay is also available to any NixOS
|
||||
[host](../concepts/hosts.md).
|
||||
|
||||
Another convenient difference is that it is possible to use
|
||||
[nvfetcher](https://github.com/berberman/nvfetcher) to keep packages up to
|
||||
date.
|
||||
This is best understood by the simple example below.
|
||||
|
||||
## Example
|
||||
It is possible to specify sources separately to keep them up to date semi
|
||||
automatically.
|
||||
The basic rules are specified in pkgs/sources.toml:
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
# nvfetcher.toml
|
||||
[libinih]
|
||||
src.github = "benhoyt/inih"
|
||||
fetch.github = "benhoyt/inih"
|
||||
```
|
||||
After changes to this file as well as to update the packages specified in there run
|
||||
nvfetcher (for more details see [nvfetcher](https://github.com/berberman/nvfetcher)).
|
||||
|
||||
The pkgs overlay is managed in
|
||||
pkgs/default.nix:
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
final: prev: {
|
||||
# keep sources first, this makes sources available to the pkgs
|
||||
sources = prev.callPackage (import ./_sources/generated.nix) { };
|
||||
|
||||
# then, call packages with `final.callPackage`
|
||||
libinih = prev.callPackage ./development/libraries/libinih { };
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Lastly the example package is in
|
||||
pkgs/development/libraries/libinih/default.nix:
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{ stdenv, meson, ninja, lib, srcs, ... }:
|
||||
let inherit (srcs) libinih; in
|
||||
{ stdenv, meson, ninja, lib, sources, ... }:
|
||||
stdenv.mkDerivation {
|
||||
pname = "libinih";
|
||||
|
||||
# version will resolve to 53, as specified in the final example below
|
||||
inherit (libinih) version;
|
||||
|
||||
src = libinih;
|
||||
# version will resolve to the latest available on gitub
|
||||
inherit (sources.libinih) version src;
|
||||
|
||||
buildInputs = [ meson ninja ];
|
||||

## Migration from flake based approach
|
||||
Previous to nvfetcher it was possible to manage sources via a pkgs/flake.nix, the main changes from there are that sources where in the attribute "srcs" (now "sources") and the contents of the sources where slightly different.
|
||||
In order to switch to the new system, rewrite pkgs/flake.nix to a pkgs/sources.toml file using the documentation of nvfetcher,
|
||||
add the line that calls the sources at the beginning of pkgs/default.nix, and
|
||||
accomodate the small changes in the packages as can be seen from the example.
|
||||
|
||||
The example package looked like:
|
||||
|
||||
pkgs/flake.nix:
