Nix Packages collection
4f71017329
We want code such as `(pkg.override {}).overrideScope (self: super: {})` to
work. This didn't work before, since `override` will call the original package
again, and the attribute `overideScope`, which `callPackageWithScope` added,
wasn't added again. The fix for this is to modify the package function itself
to include the `callPackageWithScope` attribute, so it'll be re-added whenever
the function is overriden for with arguments.
There is a small problem here though: since callPackage uses some magic
(`builtins.functionArgs`) to determine the auto-arguments of a function, we
can't just write `callPackageWith scope drvScope`, since
`builtins.functionArgs drvScope` will be `{}`. To fix this, we implement our own
`callPackageWith`.

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-14.12 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-14.12
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
