1. Call `nix-build` with `--no-out-link` to avoid cluttering the source dir.
2. Re-add `patchShebangs`, since `buildCommand` doesn't imply a patch phase. (It was my fault to remove this in the first place, sorry!)
This allows one to always override the call to `buildPythonPackage`.
In the following example we create an environment where we have the `blaze` package using an older version of `pandas`. We override first the Python interpreter and pass `packageOverrides` which contains the overrides for packages in
the package set.
```
with import <nixpkgs> {};
(let
python = let
packageOverrides = self: super: {
pandas = super.pandas.overridePythonPackage(old: rec {
version = "0.19.1";
name = "pandas-${version}";
src = super.fetchPypi {
pname = "pandas";
inherit version;
sha256 = "08blshqj9zj1wyjhhw3kl2vas75vhhicvv72flvf1z3jvapgw295";
};
});
};
in pkgs.python3.override {inherit packageOverrides;};
in python.withPackages(ps: [ps.blaze])).env
```
1. 'wrapper' has been renamed to 'wrappedRuby', so use this instead.
2. mkDerivation isn't called with a 'src' attribute, so skip the 'unpackPhase' to avoid an error.
3. Simplify the build command. 'mkdir' and 'patchShebangs' don't need to be called explicitly.
Improve beam docs:
* correct spelling
* update per pandoc changes
* capitalize titles
* capitalize BEAM throughout and use "the BEAM" when referring to the virtual machine.
* tweak grammar and phrasing
* reformat build-tools-rebar3 section
* add more links
* re-wrap <para>s
Also update <programlisting>s
* normalize whitespace
* don't double quote homepage
* use $ in all shell snippets
The documentation got a bit stale compared to actual contents of
nixpkgs. This commit focuses on updating existing docs, not on making
sure all details of beam packages are covered.
* Update python.md
this makes it clear how to alter `attributes` by using `packageOverrides`
* Update python.md
* Update python.md
* Update python.md
* Update python.md
* Update python.md
* Update python.md
Fix code syntax highlighting by specifying language in every code block
and adding some context to Nix code blocks to make them valid
expressions. Use the same markup style for all code blocks. Reformat
some code blocks.
