In our view it really doesn't make sense to not have this in in package.nix in some way. These patches aren't just for performance or something -- Lix flat out doesn't build without these patches. (Arguably that makes them a buildsystem responsibility as well, but that can wait for when we're ready to start adding subproject fallback dependency resolution to Meson.) This is a step towards making `package.nix` more self-sufficient and `callPackage`able without excessive external logic. With this change the following command is enough to build Lix from out of the flake: nix-build -E 'let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { }; in pkgs.callPackage ./package.nix { build-release-notes = false; inherit (pkgs.lib) fileset; nix-doc = pkgs.callPackage ./nix-doc/package.nix { }; }' Change-Id: Ia37fe8171f87d3293033de8be07d9bab12716f1d |
