+* Format the commits in the following way:

-  ```
-  (pkg-name | nixos/<module>): (from -> to | init at version | refactor | etc)
-
-  (Motivation for change. Additional information.)
-  ```
+  `(pkg-name | service-name): (from -> to | init at version | refactor | etc)`

  Examples:

  * nginx: init at 2.0.1
-  * firefox: 54.0.1 -> 55.0
-  * nixos/hydra: add bazBaz option
-
-    Dual baz behavior is needed to do foo.
-  * nixos/nginx: refactor config generation
-
-    The old config generation system used impure shell scripts and could break in specific circumstances (see #1234).
+  * firefox: 3.0 -> 3.1.1
+  * hydra service: add bazBaz option
+  * nginx service: refactor config generation

 * `meta.description` should:
-  * Be capitalized.
-  * Not start with the package name.
-  * Not have a period at the end.
-* `meta.license` must be set and fit the upstream license.
-  * If there is no upstream license, `meta.license` should default to `stdenv.lib.licenses.unfree`.

-## Writing good commit messages
-
-In addition to writing properly formatted commit messages, it's important to include relevant information so other developers can later understand *why* a change was made. While this information usually can be found by digging code, mailing list/Discourse archives, pull request discussions or upstream changes, it may require a lot of work.
-
-For package version upgrades and such a one-line commit message is usually sufficient.

-  <para>
-   "Cross-compilation" means compiling a program on one machine for another
-   type of machine. For example, a typical use of cross compilation is to
-   compile programs for embedded devices. These devices often don't have the
-   computing power and memory to compile their own programs. One might think
-   that cross-compilation is a fairly niche concern, but there are advantages
-   to being rigorous about distinguishing build-time vs run-time environments
-   even when one is developing and deploying on the same machine. Nixpkgs is
-   increasingly adopting the opinion that packages should be written with
-   cross-compilation in mind, and nixpkgs should evaluate in a similar way (by
-   minimizing cross-compilation-specific special cases) whether or not one is
-   cross-compiling.
-  </para>
-
-  <para>
-   This chapter will be organized in three parts. First, it will describe the
-   basics of how to package software in a way that supports cross-compilation.
-   Second, it will describe how to use Nixpkgs when cross-compiling. Third, it
-   will describe the internal infrastructure supporting cross-compilation.

-    Nixpkgs follows the
-    <link xlink:href="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Configure-Terms.html">common
-    historical convention of GNU autoconf</link> of distinguishing between 3
-    types of platform: <wordasword>build</wordasword>,
-    <wordasword>host</wordasword>, and <wordasword>target</wordasword>. In
-    summary, <wordasword>build</wordasword> is the platform on which a package
-    is being built, <wordasword>host</wordasword> is the platform on which it
-    is to run. The third attribute, <wordasword>target</wordasword>, is
-    relevant only for certain specific compilers and build tools.
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    In Nixpkgs, these three platforms are defined as attribute sets under the
-    names <literal>buildPlatform</literal>, <literal>hostPlatform</literal>,
-    and <literal>targetPlatform</literal>. They are always defined as
-    attributes in the standard environment. That means one can access them
-    like:
-<programlisting>{ stdenv, fooDep, barDep, .. }: ...stdenv.buildPlatform...</programlisting>

-       The "build platform" is the platform on which a package is built. Once
-       someone has a built package, or pre-built binary package, the build
-       platform should not matter and be safe to ignore.

-      <para>
-       The "host platform" is the platform on which a package will be run. This
-       is the simplest platform to understand, but also the one with the worst
-       name.

-      <para>
-       The "target platform" attribute is, unlike the other two attributes, not
-       actually fundamental to the process of building software. Instead, it is
-       only relevant for compatibility with building certain specific compilers
-       and build tools. It can be safely ignored for all other packages.
-      </para>
-      <para>
-       The build process of certain compilers is written in such a way that the
-       compiler resulting from a single build can itself only produce binaries
-       for a single platform. The task specifying this single "target platform"
-       is thus pushed to build time of the compiler. The root cause of this
-       mistake is often that the compiler (which will be run on the host) and
-       the the standard library/runtime (which will be run on the target) are
-       built by a single build process.
-      </para>
-      <para>
-       There is no fundamental need to think about a single target ahead of
-       time like this. If the tool supports modular or pluggable backends, both
-       the need to specify the target at build time and the constraint of
-       having only a single target disappear. An example of such a tool is
-       LLVM.
-      </para>
-      <para>
-       Although the existence of a "target platfom" is arguably a historical
-       mistake, it is a common one: examples of tools that suffer from it are
-       GCC, Binutils, GHC and Autoconf. Nixpkgs tries to avoid sharing in the
-       mistake where possible. Still, because the concept of a target platform
-       is so ingrained, it is best to support it as is.

-   <title>Specifying Dependencies</title>
-
-   <para>
-    In this section we explore the relationship between both runtime and
-    buildtime dependencies and the 3 Autoconf platforms.
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    A runtime dependency between 2 packages implies that between them both the
-    host and target platforms match. This is directly implied by the meaning of
-    "host platform" and "runtime dependency": The package dependency exists
-    while both packages are running on a single host platform.
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    A build time dependency, however, implies a shift in platforms between the
-    depending package and the depended-on package. The meaning of a build time
-    dependency is that to build the depending package we need to be able to run
-    the depended-on's package. The depending package's build platform is
-    therefore equal to the depended-on package's host platform. Analogously,
-    the depending package's host platform is equal to the depended-on package's
-    target platform.
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    In this manner, given the 3 platforms for one package, we can determine the
-    three platforms for all its transitive dependencies. This is the most
-    important guiding principle behind cross-compilation with Nixpkgs, and will
-    be called the <wordasword>sliding window principle</wordasword>.
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    Some examples will probably make this clearer. If a package is being built
-    with a <literal>(build, host, target)</literal> platform triple of
-    <literal>(foo, bar, bar)</literal>, then its build-time dependencies would
-    have a triple of <literal>(foo, foo, bar)</literal>, and <emphasis>those
-    packages'</emphasis> build-time dependencies would have triple of
-    <literal>(foo, foo, foo)</literal>. In other words, it should take two
-    "rounds" of following build-time dependency edges before one reaches a
-    fixed point where, by the sliding window principle, the platform triple no
-    longer changes. Indeed, this happens with cross compilation, where only
-    rounds of native dependencies starting with the second necessarily coincide
-    with native packages.
-   </para>
-
-   <note>
-    <para>
-     The depending package's target platform is unconstrained by the sliding
-     window principle, which makes sense in that one can in principle build
-     cross compilers targeting arbitrary platforms.
-    </para>
-   </note>
-
-   <para>
-    How does this work in practice? Nixpkgs is now structured so that
-    build-time dependencies are taken from <varname>buildPackages</varname>,
-    whereas run-time dependencies are taken from the top level attribute set.
-    For example, <varname>buildPackages.gcc</varname> should be used at build
-    time, while <varname>gcc</varname> should be used at run time. Now, for
-    most of Nixpkgs's history, there was no <varname>buildPackages</varname>,
-    and most packages have not been refactored to use it explicitly. Instead,
-    one can use the six (<emphasis>gasp</emphasis>) attributes used for
-    specifying dependencies as documented in
-    <xref linkend="ssec-stdenv-dependencies"/>. We "splice" together the
-    run-time and build-time package sets with <varname>callPackage</varname>,
-    and then <varname>mkDerivation</varname> for each of four attributes pulls
-    the right derivation out. This splicing can be skipped when not cross
-    compiling as the package sets are the same, but is a bit slow for cross
-    compiling. Because of this, a best-of-both-worlds solution is in the works
-    with no splicing or explicit access of <varname>buildPackages</varname>
-    needed. For now, feel free to use either method.
-   </para>
-
-   <note>
-    <para>
-     There is also a "backlink" <varname>targetPackages</varname>, yielding a
-     package set whose <varname>buildPackages</varname> is the current package
-     set. This is a hack, though, to accommodate compilers with lousy build
-     systems. Please do not use this unless you are absolutely sure you are
-     packaging such a compiler and there is no other way.

-
-  <para>
-   Nixpkgs can be instantiated with <varname>localSystem</varname> alone, in
-   which case there is no cross compiling and everything is built by and for
-   that system, or also with <varname>crossSystem</varname>, in which case
-   packages run on the latter, but all building happens on the former. Both
-   parameters take the same schema as the 3 (build, host, and target) platforms
-   defined in the previous section. As mentioned above,
-   <literal>lib.systems.examples</literal> has some platforms which are used as
-   arguments for these parameters in practice. You can use them
-   programmatically, or on the command line:
-<programlisting>
-nix-build &lt;nixpkgs&gt; --arg crossSystem '(import &lt;nixpkgs/lib&gt;).systems.examples.fooBarBaz' -A whatever</programlisting>
-  </para>
-
-  <note>
-   <para>
-    Eventually we would like to make these platform examples an unnecessary

-nix-build &lt;nixpkgs&gt; --arg crossSystem.config '&lt;arch&gt;-&lt;os&gt;-&lt;vendor&gt;-&lt;abi&gt;' -A whatever</programlisting>
-    works in the vast majority of cases. The problem today is dependencies on
-    other sorts of configuration which aren't given proper defaults. We rely on
-    the examples to crudely to set those configuration parameters in some
-    vaguely sane manner on the users behalf. Issue
-    <link xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/34274">#34274</link>
-    tracks this inconvenience along with its root cause in crufty configuration
-    options.
-   </para>
-  </note>
-
-  <para>
-   While one is free to pass both parameters in full, there's a lot of logic to
-   fill in missing fields. As discussed in the previous section, only one of
-   <varname>system</varname>, <varname>config</varname>, and
-   <varname>parsed</varname> is needed to infer the other two. Additionally,
-   <varname>libc</varname> will be inferred from <varname>parse</varname>.
-   Finally, <literal>localSystem.system</literal> is also
-   <emphasis>impurely</emphasis> inferred based on the platform evaluation
-   occurs. This means it is often not necessary to pass
-   <varname>localSystem</varname> at all, as in the command-line example in the
-   previous paragraph.
-  </para>
-
-  <note>
-   <para>
-    Many sources (manual, wiki, etc) probably mention passing
-    <varname>system</varname>, <varname>platform</varname>, along with the
-    optional <varname>crossSystem</varname> to nixpkgs: <literal>import
-    &lt;nixpkgs&gt; { system = ..; platform = ..; crossSystem = ..;
-    }</literal>. Passing those two instead of <varname>localSystem</varname> is
-    still supported for compatibility, but is discouraged. Indeed, much of the
-    inference we do for these parameters is motivated by compatibility as much
-    as convenience.
-   </para>
-  </note>
-
-  <para>
-   One would think that <varname>localSystem</varname> and
-   <varname>crossSystem</varname> overlap horribly with the three
-   <varname>*Platforms</varname> (<varname>buildPlatform</varname>,
-   <varname>hostPlatform,</varname> and <varname>targetPlatform</varname>; see
-   <varname>stage.nix</varname> or the manual). Actually, those identifiers are
-   purposefully not used here to draw a subtle but important distinction: While
-   the granularity of having 3 platforms is necessary to properly *build*
-   packages, it is overkill for specifying the user's *intent* when making a
-   build plan or package set. A simple "build vs deploy" dichotomy is adequate:
-   the sliding window principle described in the previous section shows how to
-   interpolate between the these two "end points" to get the 3 platform triple
-   for each bootstrapping stage. That means for any package a given package
-   set, even those not bound on the top level but only reachable via
-   dependencies or <varname>buildPackages</varname>, the three platforms will
-   be defined as one of <varname>localSystem</varname> or
-   <varname>crossSystem</varname>, with the former replacing the latter as one
-   traverses build-time dependencies. A last simple difference then is
-   <varname>crossSystem</varname> should be null when one doesn't want to
-   cross-compile, while the <varname>*Platform</varname>s are always non-null.
-   <varname>localSystem</varname> is always non-null.

+<para>
+  The nixpkgs repository has several utility functions to manipulate Nix expressions.
+</para>
+
+<section xml:id="sec-pkgs-overridePackages">
+  <title>pkgs.overridePackages</title>
+
+  <para>
+    This function inside the nixpkgs expression (<varname>pkgs</varname>)
+    can be used to override the set of packages itself.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    Warning: this function is expensive and must not be used from within
+    the nixpkgs repository.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    Example usage:
+
+    <programlisting>let
+  pkgs = import &lt;nixpkgs&gt; {};
+  newpkgs = pkgs.overridePackages (self: super: {
+    foo = super.foo.override { ... };
+  };
+in ...</programlisting>
+  </para>
+
+  <para>
+    The resulting <varname>newpkgs</varname> will have the new <varname>foo</varname>
+    expression, and all other expressions depending on <varname>foo</varname> will also
+    use the new <varname>foo</varname> expression.
+  </para>
+
+  <para>
+    The behavior of this function is similar to <link 
+    linkend="sec-modify-via-packageOverrides">config.packageOverrides</link>.
+  </para>
+
+  <para>
+    The <varname>self</varname> parameter refers to the final package set with the
+    applied overrides. Using this parameter may lead to infinite recursion if not
+    used consciously.
+  </para>
+
+  <para>
+    The <varname>super</varname> parameter refers to the old package set.
+    It's equivalent to <varname>pkgs</varname> in the above example.
+  </para>
+
+</section>
+
+<section xml:id="sec-pkg-override">
+  <title>&lt;pkg&gt;.override</title>
+
+  <para>
+    The function <varname>override</varname> is usually available for all the
+    derivations in the nixpkgs expression (<varname>pkgs</varname>).
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    It is used to override the arguments passed to a function.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    Example usages:
+
+    <programlisting>pkgs.foo.override { arg1 = val1; arg2 = val2; ... }</programlisting>
+    <programlisting>pkgs.overridePackages (self: super: {
+  foo = super.foo.override { barSupport = true ; };
+})</programlisting>
+    <programlisting>mypkg = pkgs.callPackage ./mypkg.nix {
+  mydep = pkgs.mydep.override { ... };
+})</programlisting>
+  </para>
+
+  <para>
+    In the first example, <varname>pkgs.foo</varname> is the result of a function call
+    with some default arguments, usually a derivation.
+    Using <varname>pkgs.foo.override</varname> will call the same function with
+    the given new arguments.
+  </para>
+
+</section>
+
+<section xml:id="sec-pkg-overrideDerivation">
+  <title>&lt;pkg&gt;.overrideDerivation</title>
+
+  <warning>
+    <para>Do not use this function in Nixpkgs as it evaluates a Derivation
+    before modifying it, which breaks package abstraction and removes
+    error-checking of function arguments. In addition, this
+    evaluation-per-function application incurs a performance penalty,
+    which can become a problem if many overrides are used.
+    It is only intended for ad-hoc customisation, such as in
+    <filename>~/.nixpkgs/config.nix</filename>.
+   </para>
+  </warning>
+
+  <para>
+    The function <varname>overrideDerivation</varname> creates a new derivation
+    based on an existing one by overriding the original's attributes with
+    the attribute set produced by the specified function.
+    This function is available on all
+    derivations defined using the <varname>makeOverridable</varname> function.
+    Most standard derivation-producing functions, such as
+    <varname>stdenv.mkDerivation</varname>, are defined using this
+    function, which means most packages in the nixpkgs expression,
+    <varname>pkgs</varname>, have this function.
+  </para> 
+
+  <para>
+    Example usage:
+
+    <programlisting>mySed = pkgs.gnused.overrideDerivation (oldAttrs: {
+  name = "sed-4.2.2-pre";
+  src = fetchurl {
+    url = ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/sed/sed-4.2.2-pre.tar.bz2;
+    sha256 = "11nq06d131y4wmf3drm0yk502d2xc6n5qy82cg88rb9nqd2lj41k";
+  };
+  patches = [];
+});</programlisting>
+  </para>
+
+  <para>
+    In the above example, the <varname>name</varname>, <varname>src</varname>,
+    and <varname>patches</varname> of the derivation will be overridden, while
+    all other attributes will be retained from the original derivation.
+  </para>
+
+  <para>
+    The argument <varname>oldAttrs</varname> is used to refer to the attribute set of
+    the original derivation.
+  </para>
+
+  <note>
+    <para>
+      A package's attributes are evaluated *before* being modified by
+      the <varname>overrideDerivation</varname> function.
+      For example, the <varname>name</varname> attribute reference
+      in <varname>url = "mirror://gnu/hello/${name}.tar.gz";</varname>
+      is filled-in *before* the <varname>overrideDerivation</varname> function
+      modifies the attribute set. This means that overriding the
+      <varname>name</varname> attribute, in this example, *will not* change the
+      value of the <varname>url</varname> attribute. Instead, we need to override
+      both the <varname>name</varname> *and* <varname>url</varname> attributes.
+    </para>

+<section xml:id="sec-lib-makeOverridable">
+  <title>lib.makeOverridable</title>
+
+  <para>
+    The function <varname>lib.makeOverridable</varname> is used to make the result
+    of a function easily customizable. This utility only makes sense for functions
+    that accept an argument set and return an attribute set.
+  </para>
+
+  <para>
+    Example usage:
+
+    <programlisting>f = { a, b }: { result = a+b; }
+c = lib.makeOverridable f { a = 1; b = 2; }</programlisting>
+
+  </para>
+
+  <para>
+    The variable <varname>c</varname> is the value of the <varname>f</varname> function
+    applied with some default arguments. Hence the value of <varname>c.result</varname>
+    is <literal>3</literal>, in this example.
+  </para>
+
+  <para>
+    The variable <varname>c</varname> however also has some additional functions, like
+    <link linkend="sec-pkg-override">c.override</link> which can be used to
+    override the default arguments. In this example the value of
+    <varname>(c.override { a = 4; }).result</varname> is 6.

-  <filename>/nix/store</filename>, so its footprint in terms of disk space
-  needed is quite small. This allows one to run software which is hard or
-  unfeasible to patch for NixOS -- 3rd-party source trees with FHS assumptions,
-  games distributed as tarballs, software with integrity checking and/or
-  external self-updated binaries. It uses Linux namespaces feature to create
-  temporary lightweight environments which are destroyed after all child
-  processes exit, without root user rights requirement. Accepted arguments are:

- <title>Generators</title>
-
- <para>
-  Generators are functions that create file formats from nix data structures,
-  e. g. for configuration files. There are generators available for:
-  <literal>INI</literal>, <literal>JSON</literal> and <literal>YAML</literal>
- </para>
-
- <para>
-  All generators follow a similar call interface: <code>generatorName
-  configFunctions data</code>, where <literal>configFunctions</literal> is an
-  attrset of user-defined functions that format nested parts of the content.
-  They each have common defaults, so often they do not need to be set manually.
-  An example is <code>mkSectionName ? (name: libStr.escape [ "[" "]" ]
-  name)</code> from the <literal>INI</literal> generator. It receives the name
-  of a section and sanitizes it. The default <literal>mkSectionName</literal>
-  escapes <literal>[</literal> and <literal>]</literal> with a backslash.
- </para>
-
- <para>
-  Generators can be fine-tuned to produce exactly the file format required by
-  your application/service. One example is an INI-file format which uses
-  <literal>: </literal> as separator, the strings
-  <literal>"yes"</literal>/<literal>"no"</literal> as boolean values and
-  requires all string values to be quoted:
- </para>
-
-<programlisting>
-with lib;
-let
-  customToINI = generators.toINI {
-    # specifies how to format a key/value pair
-    mkKeyValue = generators.mkKeyValueDefault {
-      # specifies the generated string for a subset of nix values
-      mkValueString = v:
-             if v == true then ''"yes"''
-        else if v == false then ''"no"''
-        else if isString v then ''"${v}"''
-        # and delegats all other values to the default generator
-        else generators.mkValueStringDefault {} v;
-    } ":";
-  };
-
-# the INI file can now be given as plain old nix values
-in customToINI {
-  main = {
-    pushinfo = true;
-    autopush = false;
-    host = "localhost";
-    port = 42;
-  };
-  mergetool = {
-    merge = "diff3";
-  };
-}
-</programlisting>
-
- <para>
-  This will produce the following INI file as nix string:
- </para>
-
-<programlisting>
-[main]
-autopush:"no"
-host:"localhost"
-port:42
-pushinfo:"yes"
-str\:ange:"very::strange"
-
-[mergetool]
-merge:"diff3"
-</programlisting>
-
- <note>
-  <para>
-   Nix store paths can be converted to strings by enclosing a derivation
-   attribute like so: <code>"${drv}"</code>.
-  </para>
- </note>

-  Detailed documentation for each generator can be found in

- <title>Overriding</title>

- <para>
-  Sometimes one wants to override parts of <literal>nixpkgs</literal>, e.g.

-  set.
- </para>
-
- <section xml:id="sec-pkg-override">
-  <title>&lt;pkg&gt;.override</title>
-
-  <para>
-   The function <varname>override</varname> is usually available for all the
-   derivations in the nixpkgs expression (<varname>pkgs</varname>).
-  </para>
-
-  <para>
-   It is used to override the arguments passed to a function.
-  </para>
-
-  <para>
-   Example usages:
-<programlisting>pkgs.foo.override { arg1 = val1; arg2 = val2; ... }</programlisting>
-<programlisting>import pkgs.path { overlays = [ (self: super: {
-    foo = super.foo.override { barSupport = true ; };
-  })]};</programlisting>
-<programlisting>mypkg = pkgs.callPackage ./mypkg.nix {
-    mydep = pkgs.mydep.override { ... };
-  }</programlisting>
-  </para>
-
-  <para>
-   In the first example, <varname>pkgs.foo</varname> is the result of a
-   function call with some default arguments, usually a derivation. Using
-   <varname>pkgs.foo.override</varname> will call the same function with the
-   given new arguments.
-  </para>
- </section>
-
- <section xml:id="sec-pkg-overrideAttrs">
-  <title>&lt;pkg&gt;.overrideAttrs</title>
-
-  <para>
-   The function <varname>overrideAttrs</varname> allows overriding the
-   attribute set passed to a <varname>stdenv.mkDerivation</varname> call,
-   producing a new derivation based on the original one. This function is
-   available on all derivations produced by the
-   <varname>stdenv.mkDerivation</varname> function, which is most packages in
-   the nixpkgs expression <varname>pkgs</varname>.
-  </para>
-
-  <para>
-   Example usage:
-<programlisting>helloWithDebug = pkgs.hello.overrideAttrs (oldAttrs: rec {
-    separateDebugInfo = true;
-  });</programlisting>
-  </para>
-
-  <para>
-   In the above example, the <varname>separateDebugInfo</varname> attribute is
-   overridden to be true, thus building debug info for
-   <varname>helloWithDebug</varname>, while all other attributes will be
-   retained from the original <varname>hello</varname> package.
-  </para>
-
-  <para>
-   The argument <varname>oldAttrs</varname> is conventionally used to refer to
-   the attr set originally passed to <varname>stdenv.mkDerivation</varname>.
-  </para>
-
-  <note>
-   <para>
-    Note that <varname>separateDebugInfo</varname> is processed only by the
-    <varname>stdenv.mkDerivation</varname> function, not the generated, raw Nix
-    derivation. Thus, using <varname>overrideDerivation</varname> will not work
-    in this case, as it overrides only the attributes of the final derivation.
-    It is for this reason that <varname>overrideAttrs</varname> should be
-    preferred in (almost) all cases to <varname>overrideDerivation</varname>,
-    i.e. to allow using <varname>sdenv.mkDerivation</varname> to process input
-    arguments, as well as the fact that it is easier to use (you can use the
-    same attribute names you see in your Nix code, instead of the ones
-    generated (e.g. <varname>buildInputs</varname> vs
-    <varname>nativeBuildInputs</varname>, and involves less typing.

-  <warning>
-   <para>
-    You should prefer <varname>overrideAttrs</varname> in almost all cases, see
-    its documentation for the reasons why.
-    <varname>overrideDerivation</varname> is not deprecated and will continue
-    to work, but is less nice to use and does not have as many abilities as
-    <varname>overrideAttrs</varname>.
-   </para>
-  </warning>
-
-  <warning>
-   <para>
-    Do not use this function in Nixpkgs as it evaluates a Derivation before
-    modifying it, which breaks package abstraction and removes error-checking
-    of function arguments. In addition, this evaluation-per-function
-    application incurs a performance penalty, which can become a problem if

-  <para>
-   The function <varname>overrideDerivation</varname> creates a new derivation
-   based on an existing one by overriding the original's attributes with the
-   attribute set produced by the specified function. This function is available
-   on all derivations defined using the <varname>makeOverridable</varname>
-   function. Most standard derivation-producing functions, such as
-   <varname>stdenv.mkDerivation</varname>, are defined using this function,
-   which means most packages in the nixpkgs expression,
-   <varname>pkgs</varname>, have this function.

-  <para>
-   Example usage:
-<programlisting>mySed = pkgs.gnused.overrideDerivation (oldAttrs: {
-    name = "sed-4.2.2-pre";

-
-  <para>
-   In the above example, the <varname>name</varname>, <varname>src</varname>,
-   and <varname>patches</varname> of the derivation will be overridden, while
-   all other attributes will be retained from the original derivation.
-  </para>
-
-  <para>
-   The argument <varname>oldAttrs</varname> is used to refer to the attribute
-   set of the original derivation.
-  </para>
-
-  <note>
-   <para>
-    A package's attributes are evaluated *before* being modified by the
-    <varname>overrideDerivation</varname> function. For example, the
-    <varname>name</varname> attribute reference in <varname>url =
-    "mirror://gnu/hello/${name}.tar.gz";</varname> is filled-in *before* the
-    <varname>overrideDerivation</varname> function modifies the attribute set.
-    This means that overriding the <varname>name</varname> attribute, in this
-    example, *will not* change the value of the <varname>url</varname>
-    attribute. Instead, we need to override both the <varname>name</varname>
-    *and* <varname>url</varname> attributes.

-   The function <varname>lib.makeOverridable</varname> is used to make the
-   result of a function easily customizable. This utility only makes sense for
-   functions that accept an argument set and return an attribute set.
-  </para>
-

-  </para>
-
-  <para>
-   The variable <varname>c</varname> however also has some additional
-   functions, like <link linkend="sec-pkg-override">c.override</link> which can
-   be used to override the default arguments. In this example the value of

-# Introduction
-
-The Nix Packages collection (Nixpkgs) is a set of thousands of packages for the
-[Nix package manager](http://nixos.org/nix/), released under a
-[permissive MIT/X11 license](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/COPYING).
-Packages are available for several platforms, and can be used with the Nix
-package manager on most GNU/Linux distributions as well as NixOS.
-
-This manual primarily describes how to write packages for the Nix Packages collection
-(Nixpkgs). Thus it’s mainly for packagers and developers who want to add packages to
-Nixpkgs. If you like to learn more about the Nix package manager and the Nix
-expression language, then you are kindly referred to the [Nix manual](http://nixos.org/nix/manual/).
-
-## Overview of Nixpkgs
-
-Nix expressions describe how to build packages from source and are collected in
-the [nixpkgs repository](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs). Also included in the
-collection are Nix expressions for
-[NixOS modules](http://nixos.org/nixos/manual/index.html#sec-writing-modules).
-With these expressions the Nix package manager can build binary packages.
-
-Packages, including the Nix packages collection, are distributed through
-[channels](http://nixos.org/nix/manual/#sec-channels). The collection is
-distributed for users of Nix on non-NixOS distributions through the channel
-`nixpkgs`. Users of NixOS generally use one of the `nixos-*` channels, e.g.
-`nixos-16.03`, which includes all packages and modules for the stable NixOS
-16.03. Stable NixOS releases are generally only given
-security updates. More up to date packages and modules are available via the
-`nixos-unstable` channel.
-
-Both `nixos-unstable` and `nixpkgs` follow the `master` branch of the Nixpkgs
-repository, although both do lag the `master` branch by generally
-[a couple of days](http://howoldis.herokuapp.com/). Updates to a channel are
-distributed as soon as all tests for that channel pass, e.g.
-[this table](http://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixpkgs/trunk/unstable#tabs-constituents)
-shows the status of tests for the `nixpkgs` channel.
-
-The tests are conducted by a cluster called [Hydra](http://nixos.org/hydra/),
-which also builds binary packages from the Nix expressions in Nixpkgs for
-`x86_64-linux`, `i686-linux` and `x86_64-darwin`.
-The binaries are made available via a [binary cache](https://cache.nixos.org).
-
-The current Nix expressions of the channels are available in the
-[`nixpkgs-channels`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels) repository,
-which has branches corresponding to the available channels.

-# User's Guide to Emscripten in Nixpkgs
-
-[Emscripten](https://github.com/kripken/emscripten): An LLVM-to-JavaScript Compiler
-
-This section of the manual covers how to use `emscripten` in nixpkgs.
-
-Minimal requirements:
-
-* nix
-* nixpkgs
-
-Modes of use of `emscripten`:
-
-* **Imperative usage** (on the command line):
-
-   If you want to work with `emcc`, `emconfigure` and `emmake` as you are used to from Ubuntu and similar distributions you can use these commands:
-
-    * `nix-env -i emscripten`
-    * `nix-shell -p emscripten`
-
-* **Declarative usage**:
-
-    This mode is far more power full since this makes use of `nix` for dependency management of emscripten libraries and targets by using the `mkDerivation` which is implemented by `pkgs.emscriptenStdenv` and `pkgs.buildEmscriptenPackage`. The source for the packages is in `pkgs/top-level/emscripten-packages.nix` and the abstraction behind it in `pkgs/development/em-modules/generic/default.nix`.
-    * build and install all packages: 
-        * `nix-env -iA emscriptenPackages` 
-          
-    * dev-shell for zlib implementation hacking: 
-        * `nix-shell -A emscriptenPackages.zlib` 
-
-
-## Imperative usage
-
-A few things to note:
-
-* `export EMCC_DEBUG=2` is nice for debugging
-* `~/.emscripten`, the build artifact cache sometimes creates issues and needs to be removed from time to time
-
-
-## Declarative usage
-
-Let's see two different examples from `pkgs/top-level/emscripten-packages.nix`:
-
-* `pkgs.zlib.override`
-* `pkgs.buildEmscriptenPackage`
-
-Both are interesting concepts.
-
-A special requirement of the `pkgs.buildEmscriptenPackage` is the `doCheck = true` is a default meaning that each emscriptenPackage requires a `checkPhase` implemented.
-
-* Use `export EMCC_DEBUG=2` from within a emscriptenPackage's `phase` to get more detailed debug output what is going wrong.
-* ~/.emscripten cache is requiring us to set `HOME=$TMPDIR` in individual phases. This makes compilation slower but also makes it more deterministic.
-
-### Usage 1: pkgs.zlib.override
-
-This example uses `zlib` from nixpkgs but instead of compiling **C** to **ELF** it compiles **C** to **JS** since we were using `pkgs.zlib.override` and changed stdenv to `pkgs.emscriptenStdenv`. A few adaptions and hacks were set in place to make it working. One advantage is that when `pkgs.zlib` is updated, it will automatically update this package as well. However, this can also be the downside...
-
-See the `zlib` example:
-
-    zlib = (pkgs.zlib.override {
-      stdenv = pkgs.emscriptenStdenv;
-    }).overrideDerivation
-    (old: rec {
-      buildInputs = old.buildInputs ++ [ pkgconfig ];
-      # we need to reset this setting!
-      NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE="";
-      configurePhase = ''
-        # FIXME: Some tests require writing at $HOME
-        HOME=$TMPDIR
-        runHook preConfigure
-
-        #export EMCC_DEBUG=2
-        emconfigure ./configure --prefix=$out --shared
-
-        runHook postConfigure
-      '';
-      dontStrip = true;
-      outputs = [ "out" ];
-      buildPhase = ''
-        emmake make
-      '';
-      installPhase = ''
-        emmake make install
-      '';
-      checkPhase = ''
-        echo "================= testing zlib using node ================="
-
-        echo "Compiling a custom test"
-        set -x
-        emcc -O2 -s EMULATE_FUNCTION_POINTER_CASTS=1 test/example.c -DZ_SOLO \
-        libz.so.${old.version} -I . -o example.js
-
-        echo "Using node to execute the test"
-        ${pkgs.nodejs}/bin/node ./example.js 
-
-        set +x
-        if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
-          echo "test failed for some reason"
-          exit 1;
-        else
-          echo "it seems to work! very good."
-        fi
-        echo "================= /testing zlib using node ================="
-      '';
-
-      postPatch = pkgs.stdenv.lib.optionalString pkgs.stdenv.isDarwin ''
-        substituteInPlace configure \
-          --replace '/usr/bin/libtool' 'ar' \
-          --replace 'AR="libtool"' 'AR="ar"' \
-          --replace 'ARFLAGS="-o"' 'ARFLAGS="-r"'
-      '';
-    });
-
-### Usage 2: pkgs.buildEmscriptenPackage
-
-This `xmlmirror` example features a emscriptenPackage which is defined completely from this context and no `pkgs.zlib.override` is used. 
-
-    xmlmirror = pkgs.buildEmscriptenPackage rec {
-      name = "xmlmirror";
-
-      buildInputs = [ pkgconfig autoconf automake libtool gnumake libxml2 nodejs openjdk json_c ];
-      nativeBuildInputs = [ pkgconfig zlib ];
-
-      src = pkgs.fetchgit {
-        url = "https://gitlab.com/odfplugfest/xmlmirror.git";
-        rev = "4fd7e86f7c9526b8f4c1733e5c8b45175860a8fd";
-        sha256 = "1jasdqnbdnb83wbcnyrp32f36w3xwhwp0wq8lwwmhqagxrij1r4b";
-      };
-
-      configurePhase = ''
-        rm -f fastXmlLint.js*
-        # a fix for ERROR:root:For asm.js, TOTAL_MEMORY must be a multiple of 16MB, was 234217728
-        # https://gitlab.com/odfplugfest/xmlmirror/issues/8

-        sed -e "s/-o fastXmlLint.js/-s EXTRA_EXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS='[\"ccall\", \"cwrap\"]' -o fastXmlLint.js/g" -i Makefile.emEnv
-      '';
-
-      buildPhase = ''
-        HOME=$TMPDIR
-        make -f Makefile.emEnv
-      '';
-
-      outputs = [ "out" "doc" ];
-
-      installPhase = ''
-        mkdir -p $out/share
-        mkdir -p $doc/share/${name}
-
-        cp Demo* $out/share
-        cp -R codemirror-5.12 $out/share
-        cp fastXmlLint.js* $out/share
-        cp *.xsd $out/share
-        cp *.js $out/share
-        cp *.xhtml $out/share
-        cp *.html $out/share
-        cp *.json $out/share
-        cp *.rng $out/share
-        cp README.md $doc/share/${name}
-      '';
-      checkPhase = ''
-
-      '';
-    }; 
-
-### Declarative debugging
-
-Use `nix-shell -I nixpkgs=/some/dir/nixpkgs -A emscriptenPackages.libz` and from there you can go trough the individual steps. This makes it easy to build a good `unit test` or list the files of the project.
-
-1. `nix-shell -I nixpkgs=/some/dir/nixpkgs -A emscriptenPackages.libz`
-2. `cd /tmp/`
-3. `unpackPhase`
-4. cd libz-1.2.3
-5. `configurePhase`
-6. `buildPhase`
-7. ... happy hacking...
-
-## Summary
-
-Using this toolchain makes it easy to leverage `nix` from NixOS, MacOSX or even Windows (WSL+ubuntu+nix). This toolchain is reproducible, behaves like the rest of the packages from nixpkgs and contains a set of well working examples to learn and adapt from.
-
-If in trouble, ask the maintainers.

+
+## How to install Haskell packages
+
+Nixpkgs distributes build instructions for all Haskell packages registered on
+[Hackage](http://hackage.haskell.org/), but strangely enough normal Nix package
+lookups don't seem to discover any of them, except for the default version of ghc, cabal-install, and stack:
+
+    $ nix-env -i alex
+    error: selector ‘alex’ matches no derivations
+    $ nix-env -qa ghc
+    ghc-7.10.2
+
+The Haskell package set is not registered in the top-level namespace because it
+is *huge*. If all Haskell packages were visible to these commands, then
+name-based search/install operations would be much slower than they are now. We
+avoided that by keeping all Haskell-related packages in a separate attribute
+set called `haskellPackages`, which the following command will list:
+
+    $ nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A haskellPackages
+    haskellPackages.a50         a50-0.5
+    haskellPackages.abacate     haskell-abacate-0.0.0.0
+    haskellPackages.abcBridge   haskell-abcBridge-0.12
+    haskellPackages.afv         afv-0.1.1
+    haskellPackages.alex        alex-3.1.4
+    haskellPackages.Allure      Allure-0.4.101.1
+    haskellPackages.alms        alms-0.6.7
+    [... some 8000 entries omitted  ...]
+
+To install any of those packages into your profile, refer to them by their
+attribute path (first column):
+
+    $ nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA haskellPackages.Allure ...
+
+The attribute path of any Haskell packages corresponds to the name of that
+particular package on Hackage: the package `cabal-install` has the attribute
+`haskellPackages.cabal-install`, and so on. (Actually, this convention causes
+trouble with packages like `3dmodels` and `4Blocks`, because these names are
+invalid identifiers in the Nix language. The issue of how to deal with these
+rare corner cases is currently unresolved.)
+
+Haskell packages who's Nix name (second column) begins with a `haskell-` prefix
+are packages that provide a library whereas packages without that prefix
+provide just executables. Libraries may provide executables too, though: the
+package `haskell-pandoc`, for example, installs both a library and an
+application. You can install and use Haskell executables just like any other
+program in Nixpkgs, but using Haskell libraries for development is a bit
+trickier and we'll address that subject in great detail in section [How to
+create a development environment].
+
+Attribute paths are deterministic inside of Nixpkgs, but the path necessary to
+reach Nixpkgs varies from system to system. We dodged that problem by giving
+`nix-env` an explicit `-f "<nixpkgs>"` parameter, but if you call `nix-env`
+without that flag, then chances are the invocation fails:
+
+    $ nix-env -iA haskellPackages.cabal-install
+    error: attribute ‘haskellPackages’ in selection path
+           ‘haskellPackages.cabal-install’ not found
+
+On NixOS, for example, Nixpkgs does *not* exist in the top-level namespace by
+default. To figure out the proper attribute path, it's easiest to query for the
+path of a well-known Nixpkgs package, i.e.:
+
+    $ nix-env -qaP coreutils
+    nixos.coreutils  coreutils-8.23
+
+If your system responds like that (most NixOS installations will), then the
+attribute path to `haskellPackages` is `nixos.haskellPackages`. Thus, if you
+want to use `nix-env` without giving an explicit `-f` flag, then that's the way
+to do it:
+
+    $ nix-env -qaP -A nixos.haskellPackages
+    $ nix-env -iA nixos.haskellPackages.cabal-install
+
+Our current default compiler is GHC 7.10.x and the `haskellPackages` set
+contains packages built with that particular version. Nixpkgs contains the
+latest major release of every GHC since 6.10.4, however, and there is a whole
+family of package sets available that defines Hackage packages built with each
+of those compilers, too:
+
+    $ nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A haskell.packages.ghc6123
+    $ nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A haskell.packages.ghc763
+
+The name `haskellPackages` is really just a synonym for
+`haskell.packages.ghc7102`, because we prefer that package set internally and
+recommend it to our users as their default choice, but ultimately you are free
+to compile your Haskell packages with any GHC version you please. The following
+command displays the complete list of available compilers:
+
+    $ nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A haskell.compiler
+    haskell.compiler.ghc6104        ghc-6.10.4
+    haskell.compiler.ghc6123        ghc-6.12.3
+    haskell.compiler.ghc704         ghc-7.0.4
+    haskell.compiler.ghc722         ghc-7.2.2
+    haskell.compiler.ghc742         ghc-7.4.2
+    haskell.compiler.ghc763         ghc-7.6.3
+    haskell.compiler.ghc784         ghc-7.8.4
+    haskell.compiler.ghc7102        ghc-7.10.2
+    haskell.compiler.ghcHEAD        ghc-7.11.20150402
+    haskell.compiler.ghcNokinds     ghc-nokinds-7.11.20150704
+    haskell.compiler.ghcjs          ghcjs-0.1.0
+    haskell.compiler.jhc            jhc-0.8.2
+    haskell.compiler.uhc            uhc-1.1.9.0
+
+We have no package sets for `jhc` or `uhc` yet, unfortunately, but for every
+version of GHC listed above, there exists a package set based on that compiler.
+Also, the attributes `haskell.compiler.ghcXYC` and
+`haskell.packages.ghcXYC.ghc` are synonymous for the sake of convenience.
+
+## How to create a development environment
+
+### How to install a compiler
+
+A simple development environment consists of a Haskell compiler and one or both
+of the tools `cabal-install` and `stack`. We saw in section
+[How to install Haskell packages] how you can install those programs into your
+user profile:
+
+    $ nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA haskellPackages.ghc haskellPackages.cabal-install
+
+Instead of the default package set `haskellPackages`, you can also use the more
+precise name `haskell.compiler.ghc7102`, which has the advantage that it refers
+to the same GHC version regardless of what Nixpkgs considers "default" at any
+given time.
+
+Once you've made those tools available in `$PATH`, it's possible to build
+Hackage packages the same way people without access to Nix do it all the time:
+
+    $ cabal get lens-4.11 && cd lens-4.11
+    $ cabal install -j --dependencies-only
+    $ cabal configure
+    $ cabal build
+
+If you enjoy working with Cabal sandboxes, then that's entirely possible too:
+just execute the command
+
+    $ cabal sandbox init
+
+before installing the required dependencies.
+
+The `nix-shell` utility makes it easy to switch to a different compiler
+version; just enter the Nix shell environment with the command
+
+    $ nix-shell -p haskell.compiler.ghc784
+
+to bring GHC 7.8.4 into `$PATH`. Alternatively, you can use Stack instead of
+`nix-shell` directly to select compiler versions and other build tools
+per-project. It uses `nix-shell` under the hood when Nix support is turned on.
+See [How to build a Haskell project using Stack].
+
+If you're using `cabal-install`, re-running `cabal configure` inside the spawned
+shell switches your build to use that compiler instead. If you're working on
+a project that doesn't depend on any additional system libraries outside of GHC,
+then it's even sufficient to just run the `cabal configure` command inside of
+the shell:
+
+    $ nix-shell -p haskell.compiler.ghc784 --command "cabal configure"
+
+Afterwards, all other commands like `cabal build` work just fine in any shell
+environment, because the configure phase recorded the absolute paths to all
+required tools like GHC in its build configuration inside of the `dist/`
+directory. Please note, however, that `nix-collect-garbage` can break such an
+environment because the Nix store paths created by `nix-shell` aren't "alive"
+anymore once `nix-shell` has terminated. If you find that your Haskell builds
+no longer work after garbage collection, then you'll have to re-run `cabal
+configure` inside of a new `nix-shell` environment.
+
+### How to install a compiler with libraries
+
+GHC expects to find all installed libraries inside of its own `lib` directory.
+This approach works fine on traditional Unix systems, but it doesn't work for
+Nix, because GHC's store path is immutable once it's built. We cannot install
+additional libraries into that location. As a consequence, our copies of GHC
+don't know any packages except their own core libraries, like `base`,
+`containers`, `Cabal`, etc.
+
+We can register additional libraries to GHC, however, using a special build
+function called `ghcWithPackages`. That function expects one argument: a
+function that maps from an attribute set of Haskell packages to a list of
+packages, which determines the libraries known to that particular version of
+GHC. For example, the Nix expression `ghcWithPackages (pkgs: [pkgs.mtl])`
+generates a copy of GHC that has the `mtl` library registered in addition to
+its normal core packages:
+
+    $ nix-shell -p "haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (pkgs: [pkgs.mtl])"
+
+    [nix-shell:~]$ ghc-pkg list mtl
+    /nix/store/zy79...-ghc-7.10.2/lib/ghc-7.10.2/package.conf.d:
+        mtl-2.2.1
+
+This function allows users to define their own development environment by means
+of an override. After adding the following snippet to `~/.nixpkgs/config.nix`,
+
+    {
+      packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
+      {
+        myHaskellEnv = self.haskell.packages.ghc7102.ghcWithPackages
+                         (haskellPackages: with haskellPackages; [
+                           # libraries
+                           arrows async cgi criterion
+                           # tools
+                           cabal-install haskintex
+                         ]);
+      };
+    }
+
+it's possible to install that compiler with `nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA
+myHaskellEnv`. If you'd like to switch that development environment to a
+different version of GHC, just replace the `ghc7102` bit in the previous
+definition with the appropriate name. Of course, it's also possible to define
+any number of these development environments! (You can't install two of them
+into the same profile at the same time, though, because that would result in
+file conflicts.)
+
+The generated `ghc` program is a wrapper script that re-directs the real
+GHC executable to use a new `lib` directory --- one that we specifically
+constructed to contain all those packages the user requested:
+
+    $ cat $(type -p ghc)
+    #! /nix/store/xlxj...-bash-4.3-p33/bin/bash -e
+    export NIX_GHC=/nix/store/19sm...-ghc-7.10.2/bin/ghc
+    export NIX_GHCPKG=/nix/store/19sm...-ghc-7.10.2/bin/ghc-pkg
+    export NIX_GHC_DOCDIR=/nix/store/19sm...-ghc-7.10.2/share/doc/ghc/html
+    export NIX_GHC_LIBDIR=/nix/store/19sm...-ghc-7.10.2/lib/ghc-7.10.2
+    exec /nix/store/j50p...-ghc-7.10.2/bin/ghc "-B$NIX_GHC_LIBDIR" "$@"
+
+The variables `$NIX_GHC`, `$NIX_GHCPKG`, etc. point to the *new* store path
+`ghcWithPackages` constructed specifically for this environment. The last line
+of the wrapper script then executes the real `ghc`, but passes the path to the
+new `lib` directory using GHC's `-B` flag.
+
+The purpose of those environment variables is to work around an impurity in the
+popular [ghc-paths](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghc-paths) library. That
+library promises to give its users access to GHC's installation paths. Only,
+the library can't possible know that path when it's compiled, because the path
+GHC considers its own is determined only much later, when the user configures
+it through `ghcWithPackages`. So we [patched
+ghc-paths](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/patches/ghc-paths-nix.patch)
+to return the paths found in those environment variables at run-time rather
+than trying to guess them at compile-time.
+
+To make sure that mechanism works properly all the time, we recommend that you
+set those variables to meaningful values in your shell environment, too, i.e.
+by adding the following code to your `~/.bashrc`:
+
+    if type >/dev/null 2>&1 -p ghc; then
+      eval "$(egrep ^export "$(type -p ghc)")"
+    fi
+
+If you are certain that you'll use only one GHC environment which is located in
+your user profile, then you can use the following code, too, which has the
+advantage that it doesn't contain any paths from the Nix store, i.e. those
+settings always remain valid even if a `nix-env -u` operation updates the GHC
+environment in your profile:
+
+    if [ -e ~/.nix-profile/bin/ghc ]; then
+      export NIX_GHC="$HOME/.nix-profile/bin/ghc"
+      export NIX_GHCPKG="$HOME/.nix-profile/bin/ghc-pkg"
+      export NIX_GHC_DOCDIR="$HOME/.nix-profile/share/doc/ghc/html"
+      export NIX_GHC_LIBDIR="$HOME/.nix-profile/lib/ghc-$($NIX_GHC --numeric-version)"
+    fi
+
+### How to install a compiler with libraries, hoogle and documentation indexes
+
+If you plan to use your environment for interactive programming, not just
+compiling random Haskell code, you might want to replace `ghcWithPackages` in
+all the listings above with `ghcWithHoogle`.
+
+This environment generator not only produces an environment with GHC and all
+the specified libraries, but also generates a `hoogle` and `haddock` indexes
+for all the packages, and provides a wrapper script around `hoogle` binary that
+uses all those things. A precise name for this thing would be
+"`ghcWithPackagesAndHoogleAndDocumentationIndexes`", which is, regrettably, too
+long and scary.
+
+For example, installing the following environment
+
+    {
+      packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
+      {
+        myHaskellEnv = self.haskellPackages.ghcWithHoogle
+                         (haskellPackages: with haskellPackages; [
+                           # libraries
+                           arrows async cgi criterion
+                           # tools
+                           cabal-install haskintex
+                         ]);
+      };
+    }
+
+allows one to browse module documentation index [not too dissimilar to
+this](https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/libraries/index.html)
+for all the specified packages and their dependencies by directing a browser of
+choice to `~/.nix-profiles/share/doc/hoogle/index.html` (or
+`/run/current-system/sw/share/doc/hoogle/index.html` in case you put it in
+`environment.systemPackages` in NixOS).
+
+After you've marveled enough at that try adding the following to your
+`~/.ghc/ghci.conf`
+
+    :def hoogle \s -> return $ ":! hoogle search -cl --count=15 \"" ++ s ++ "\""
+    :def doc \s -> return $ ":! hoogle search -cl --info \"" ++ s ++ "\""
+
+and test it by typing into `ghci`:
+
+    :hoogle a -> a
+    :doc a -> a
+
+Be sure to note the links to `haddock` files in the output. With any modern and
+properly configured terminal emulator you can just click those links to
+navigate there.
+
+Finally, you can run
+
+    hoogle server -p 8080
+
+and navigate to http://localhost:8080/ for your own local
+[Hoogle](https://www.haskell.org/hoogle/). Note, however, that Firefox and
+possibly other browsers disallow navigation from `http:` to `file:` URIs for
+security reasons, which might be quite an inconvenience. See [this
+page](http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_do_not_work) for
+workarounds.
+
+### How to build a Haskell project using Stack
+
+[Stack](http://haskellstack.org) is a popular build tool for Haskell projects.
+It has first-class support for Nix. Stack can optionally use Nix to
+automatically select the right version of GHC and other build tools to build,
+test and execute apps in an existing project downloaded from somewhere on the
+Internet. Pass the `--nix` flag to any `stack` command to do so, e.g.
+
+    $ git clone --recursive http://github.com/yesodweb/wai
+    $ cd wai
+    $ stack --nix build
+
+If you want `stack` to use Nix by default, you can add a `nix` section to the
+`stack.yaml` file, as explained in the [Stack documentation][stack-nix-doc]. For
+example:
+
+    nix:
+      enable: true
+      packages: [pkgconfig zeromq zlib]
+
+The example configuration snippet above tells Stack to create an ad hoc
+environment for `nix-shell` as in the below section, in which the `pkgconfig`,
+`zeromq` and `zlib` packages from Nixpkgs are available. All `stack` commands
+will implicitly be executed inside this ad hoc environment.
+
+Some projects have more sophisticated needs. For examples, some ad hoc
+environments might need to expose Nixpkgs packages compiled in a certain way, or
+with extra environment variables. In these cases, you'll need a `shell` field
+instead of `packages`:
+
+    nix:
+      enable: true
+      shell-file: shell.nix
+
+For more on how to write a `shell.nix` file see the below section. You'll need
+to express a derivation. Note that Nixpkgs ships with a convenience wrapper
+function around `mkDerivation` called `haskell.lib.buildStackProject` to help you
+create this derivation in exactly the way Stack expects. All of the same inputs
+as `mkDerivation` can be provided. For example, to build a Stack project that
+including packages that link against a version of the R library compiled with
+special options turned on:
+
+    with (import <nixpkgs> { });
+
+    let R = pkgs.R.override { enableStrictBarrier = true; };
+    in
+	haskell.lib.buildStackProject {
+      name = "HaskellR";
+	  buildInputs = [ R zeromq zlib ];
+    }
+
+You can select a particular GHC version to compile with by setting the
+`ghc` attribute as an argument to `buildStackProject`. Better yet, let
+Stack choose what GHC version it wants based on the snapshot specified
+in `stack.yaml` (only works with Stack >= 1.1.3):
+
+    {nixpkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { }, ghc ? nixpkgs.ghc}
+
+    with nixpkgs;
+
+    let R = pkgs.R.override { enableStrictBarrier = true; };
+    in
+    haskell.lib.buildStackProject {
+      name = "HaskellR";
+      buildInputs = [ R zeromq zlib ];
+      inherit ghc;
+    }
+
+[stack-nix-doc]: http://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/nix_integration.html
+
+### How to create ad hoc environments for `nix-shell`
+
+The easiest way to create an ad hoc development environment is to run
+`nix-shell` with the appropriate GHC environment given on the command-line:
+
+    nix-shell -p "haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (pkgs: with pkgs; [mtl pandoc])"
+
+For more sophisticated use-cases, however, it's more convenient to save the
+desired configuration in a file called `shell.nix` that looks like this:
+
+    { nixpkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}, compiler ? "ghc7102" }:
+    let
+      inherit (nixpkgs) pkgs;
+      ghc = pkgs.haskell.packages.${compiler}.ghcWithPackages (ps: with ps; [
+              monad-par mtl
+            ]);
+    in
+    pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
+      name = "my-haskell-env-0";
+      buildInputs = [ ghc ];
+      shellHook = "eval $(egrep ^export ${ghc}/bin/ghc)";
+    }
+
+Now run `nix-shell` --- or even `nix-shell --pure` --- to enter a shell
+environment that has the appropriate compiler in `$PATH`. If you use `--pure`,
+then add all other packages that your development environment needs into the
+`buildInputs` attribute. If you'd like to switch to a different compiler
+version, then pass an appropriate `compiler` argument to the expression, i.e.
+`nix-shell --argstr compiler ghc784`.
+
+If you need such an environment because you'd like to compile a Hackage package
+outside of Nix --- i.e. because you're hacking on the latest version from Git
+---, then the package set provides suitable nix-shell environments for you
+already! Every Haskell package has an `env` attribute that provides a shell
+environment suitable for compiling that particular package. If you'd like to
+hack the `lens` library, for example, then you just have to check out the
+source code and enter the appropriate environment:
+
+      $ cabal get lens-4.11 && cd lens-4.11
+      Downloading lens-4.11...
+      Unpacking to lens-4.11/
+
+      $ nix-shell "<nixpkgs>" -A haskellPackages.lens.env
+      [nix-shell:/tmp/lens-4.11]$
+
+At point, you can run `cabal configure`, `cabal build`, and all the other
+development commands. Note that you need `cabal-install` installed in your
+`$PATH` already to use it here --- the `nix-shell` environment does not provide
+it.
+
+## How to create Nix builds for your own private Haskell packages
+
+If your own Haskell packages have build instructions for Cabal, then you can
+convert those automatically into build instructions for Nix using the
+`cabal2nix` utility, which you can install into your profile by running
+`nix-env -i cabal2nix`.
+
+### How to build a stand-alone project
+
+For example, let's assume that you're working on a private project called
+`foo`. To generate a Nix build expression for it, change into the project's
+top-level directory and run the command:
+
+    $ cabal2nix . >foo.nix
+
+Then write the following snippet into a file called `default.nix`:
+
+    { nixpkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}, compiler ? "ghc7102" }:
+    nixpkgs.pkgs.haskell.packages.${compiler}.callPackage ./foo.nix { }
+
+Finally, store the following code in a file called `shell.nix`:
+
+    { nixpkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}, compiler ? "ghc7102" }:
+    (import ./default.nix { inherit nixpkgs compiler; }).env
+
+At this point, you can run `nix-build` to have Nix compile your project and
+install it into a Nix store path. The local directory will contain a symlink
+called `result` after `nix-build` returns that points into that location. Of
+course, passing the flag `--argstr compiler ghc763` allows switching the build
+to any version of GHC currently supported.
+
+Furthermore, you can call `nix-shell` to enter an interactive development
+environment in which you can use `cabal configure` and `cabal build` to develop
+your code. That environment will automatically contain a proper GHC derivation
+with all the required libraries registered as well as all the system-level
+libraries your package might need.
+
+If your package does not depend on any system-level libraries, then it's
+sufficient to run
+
+    $ nix-shell --command "cabal configure"
+
+once to set up your build. `cabal-install` determines the absolute paths to all
+resources required for the build and writes them into a config file in the
+`dist/` directory. Once that's done, you can run `cabal build` and any other
+command for that project even outside of the `nix-shell` environment. This
+feature is particularly nice for those of us who like to edit their code with
+an IDE, like Emacs' `haskell-mode`, because it's not necessary to start Emacs
+inside of nix-shell just to make it find out the necessary settings for
+building the project; `cabal-install` has already done that for us.
+
+If you want to do some quick-and-dirty hacking and don't want to bother setting
+up a `default.nix` and `shell.nix` file manually, then you can use the
+`--shell` flag offered by `cabal2nix` to have it generate a stand-alone
+`nix-shell` environment for you. With that feature, running
+
+    $ cabal2nix --shell . >shell.nix
+    $ nix-shell --command "cabal configure"
+
+is usually enough to set up a build environment for any given Haskell package.
+You can even use that generated file to run `nix-build`, too:
+
+    $ nix-build shell.nix
+
+### How to build projects that depend on each other
+
+If you have multiple private Haskell packages that depend on each other, then
+you'll have to register those packages in the Nixpkgs set to make them visible
+for the dependency resolution performed by `callPackage`. First of all, change
+into each of your projects top-level directories and generate a `default.nix`
+file with `cabal2nix`:
+
+    $ cd ~/src/foo && cabal2nix . >default.nix
+    $ cd ~/src/bar && cabal2nix . >default.nix
+
+Then edit your `~/.nixpkgs/config.nix` file to register those builds in the
+default Haskell package set:
+
+      {
+        packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
+        {
+          haskellPackages = super.haskellPackages.override {
+            overrides = self: super: {
+              foo = self.callPackage ../src/foo {};
+              bar = self.callPackage ../src/bar {};
+            };
+          };
+        };
+      }
+
+Once that's accomplished, `nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qA haskellPackages` will
+show your packages like any other package from Hackage, and you can build them
+
+    $ nix-build "<nixpkgs>" -A haskellPackages.foo
+
+or enter an interactive shell environment suitable for building them:
+
+    $ nix-shell "<nixpkgs>" -A haskellPackages.bar.env
+
+## Miscellaneous Topics
+
+### How to build with profiling enabled
+
+Every Haskell package set takes a function called `overrides` that you can use
+to manipulate the package as much as you please. One useful application of this
+feature is to replace the default `mkDerivation` function with one that enables
+library profiling for all packages. To accomplish that, add configure the
+following snippet in your `~/.nixpkgs/config.nix` file:
+
+    {
+      packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
+      {
+        profiledHaskellPackages = self.haskellPackages.override {
+          overrides = self: super: {
+            mkDerivation = args: super.mkDerivation (args // {
+              enableLibraryProfiling = true;
+            });
+          };
+        };
+      };
+    }
+
+Then, replace instances of `haskellPackages` in the `cabal2nix`-generated
+`default.nix` or `shell.nix` files with `profiledHaskellPackages`.
+
+### How to override package versions in a compiler-specific package set
+
+Nixpkgs provides the latest version of
+[`ghc-events`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghc-events), which is 0.4.4.0
+at the time of this writing. This is fine for users of GHC 7.10.x, but GHC
+7.8.4 cannot compile that binary. Now, one way to solve that problem is to
+register an older version of `ghc-events` in the 7.8.x-specific package set.
+The first step is to generate Nix build instructions with `cabal2nix`:
+
+    $ cabal2nix cabal://ghc-events-0.4.3.0 >~/.nixpkgs/ghc-events-0.4.3.0.nix
+
+Then add the override in `~/.nixpkgs/config.nix`:
+
+    {
+      packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
+      {
+        haskell = super.haskell // {
+          packages = super.haskell.packages // {
+            ghc784 = super.haskell.packages.ghc784.override {
+              overrides = self: super: {
+                ghc-events = self.callPackage ./ghc-events-0.4.3.0.nix {};
+              };
+            };
+          };
+        };
+      };
+    }
+
+This code is a little crazy, no doubt, but it's necessary because the intuitive
+version
+
+    haskell.packages.ghc784 = super.haskell.packages.ghc784.override {
+      overrides = self: super: {
+        ghc-events = self.callPackage ./ghc-events-0.4.3.0.nix {};
+      };
+    };
+
+doesn't do what we want it to: that code replaces the `haskell` package set in
+Nixpkgs with one that contains only one entry,`packages`, which contains only
+one entry `ghc784`. This override loses the `haskell.compiler` set, and it
+loses the `haskell.packages.ghcXYZ` sets for all compilers but GHC 7.8.4. To
+avoid that problem, we have to perform the convoluted little dance from above,
+iterating over each step in hierarchy.
+
+Once it's accomplished, however, we can install a variant of `ghc-events`
+that's compiled with GHC 7.8.4:
+
+    nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA haskell.packages.ghc784.ghc-events
+
+Unfortunately, it turns out that this build fails again while executing the
+test suite! Apparently, the release archive on Hackage is missing some data
+files that the test suite requires, so we cannot run it. We accomplish that by
+re-generating the Nix expression with the `--no-check` flag:
+
+    $ cabal2nix --no-check cabal://ghc-events-0.4.3.0 >~/.nixpkgs/ghc-events-0.4.3.0.nix
+
+Now the builds succeeds.
+
+Of course, in the concrete example of `ghc-events` this whole exercise is not
+an ideal solution, because `ghc-events` can analyze the output emitted by any
+version of GHC later than 6.12 regardless of the compiler version that was used
+to build the `ghc-events' executable, so strictly speaking there's no reason to
+prefer one built with GHC 7.8.x in the first place. However, for users who
+cannot use GHC 7.10.x at all for some reason, the approach of downgrading to an
+older version might be useful.
+
+### How to recover from GHC's infamous non-deterministic library ID bug
+
+GHC and distributed build farms don't get along well:
+
+    https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4012
+
+When you see an error like this one
+
+    package foo-0.7.1.0 is broken due to missing package
+    text-1.2.0.4-98506efb1b9ada233bb5c2b2db516d91
+
+then you have to download and re-install `foo` and all its dependents from
+scratch:
+
+    # nix-store -q --referrers /nix/store/*-haskell-text-1.2.0.4 \
+      | xargs -L 1 nix-store --repair-path
+
+If you're using additional Hydra servers other than `hydra.nixos.org`, then it
+might be necessary to purge the local caches that store data from those
+machines to disable these binary channels for the duration of the previous
+command, i.e. by running:
+
+    rm /nix/var/nix/binary-cache-v3.sqlite
+    rm /nix/var/nix/manifests/*
+    rm /nix/var/nix/channel-cache/*
+
+### How to use the Haste Haskell-to-Javascript transpiler
+
+Open a shell with `haste-compiler` and `haste-cabal-install` (you don't actually need
+`node`, but it can be useful to test stuff):
+
+    $ nix-shell -p "haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (self: with self; [haste-cabal-install haste-compiler])" -p nodejs
+
+You may not need the following step but if `haste-boot` fails to compile all the
+packages it needs, this might do the trick
+
+    $ haste-cabal update
+
+`haste-boot` builds a set of core libraries so that they can be used from Javascript
+transpiled programs:
+
+    $ haste-boot
+
+Transpile and run a "Hello world" program:
+
+    $ echo 'module Main where main = putStrLn "Hello world"' > hello-world.hs
+    $ hastec --onexec hello-world.hs
+    $ node hello-world.js
+    Hello world
+
+### Builds on Darwin fail with `math.h` not found
+
+Users of GHC on Darwin have occasionally reported that builds fail, because the
+compiler complains about a missing include file:
+
+    fatal error: 'math.h' file not found
+
+The issue has been discussed at length in [ticket
+6390](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/6390), and so far no good
+solution has been proposed. As a work-around, users who run into this problem
+can configure the environment variables
+
+    export NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE="-idirafter /usr/include"
+    export NIX_CFLAGS_LINK="-L/usr/lib"
+
+in their `~/.bashrc` file to avoid the compiler error.
+
+### Builds using Stack complain about missing system libraries
+
+    --  While building package zlib-0.5.4.2 using:
+      runhaskell -package=Cabal-1.22.4.0 -clear-package-db [... lots of flags ...]
+    Process exited with code: ExitFailure 1
+    Logs have been written to: /home/foo/src/stack-ide/.stack-work/logs/zlib-0.5.4.2.log
+
+    Configuring zlib-0.5.4.2...
+    Setup.hs: Missing dependency on a foreign library:
+    * Missing (or bad) header file: zlib.h
+    This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
+    provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
+    already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags
+    --extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
+    If the header file does exist, it may contain errors that are caught by the C
+    compiler at the preprocessing stage. In this case you can re-run configure
+    with the verbosity flag -v3 to see the error messages.
+
+When you run the build inside of the nix-shell environment, the system
+is configured to find libz.so without any special flags -- the compiler
+and linker "just know" how to find it. Consequently, Cabal won't record
+any search paths for libz.so in the package description, which means
+that the package works fine inside of nix-shell, but once you leave the
+shell the shared object can no longer be found. That issue is by no
+means specific to Stack: you'll have that problem with any other
+Haskell package that's built inside of nix-shell but run outside of that
+environment.
+
+You can remedy this issue in several ways. The easiest is to add a `nix` section
+to the `stack.yaml` like the following:
+
+    nix:
+      enable: true
+	  packages: [ zlib ]
+
+Stack's Nix support knows to add `${zlib.out}/lib` and `${zlib.dev}/include` as an
+`--extra-lib-dirs` and `extra-include-dirs`, respectively. Alternatively, you
+can achieve the same effect by hand. First of all, run
+
+    $ nix-build --no-out-link "<nixpkgs>" -A zlib
+    /nix/store/alsvwzkiw4b7ip38l4nlfjijdvg3fvzn-zlib-1.2.8
+
+to find out the store path of the system's zlib library. Now, you can
+
+1) add that path (plus a "/lib" suffix) to your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+   environment variable to make sure your system linker finds libz.so
+   automatically. It's no pretty solution, but it will work.
+
+2) As a variant of (1), you can also install any number of system
+   libraries into your user's profile (or some other profile) and point
+   $LD_LIBRARY_PATH to that profile instead, so that you don't have to
+   list dozens of those store paths all over the place.
+
+3) The solution I prefer is to call stack with an appropriate
+   --extra-lib-dirs flag like so:
+
+    $ stack --extra-lib-dirs=/nix/store/alsvwzkiw4b7ip38l4nlfjijdvg3fvzn-zlib-1.2.8/lib build
+
+   Typically, you'll need --extra-include-dirs as well. It's possible
+   to add those flag to the project's "stack.yaml" or your user's
+   global "~/.stack/global/stack.yaml" file so that you don't have to
+   specify them manually every time. But again, you're likely better off using
+   Stack's Nix support instead.
+
+   The same thing applies to `cabal configure`, of course, if you're
+   building with `cabal-install` instead of Stack.
+
+### Creating statically linked binaries
+
+There are two levels of static linking. The first option is to configure the
+build with the Cabal flag `--disable-executable-dynamic`. In Nix expressions,
+this can be achieved by setting the attribute:
+
+    enableSharedExecutables = false;
+
+That gives you a binary with statically linked Haskell libraries and
+dynamically linked system libraries.
+
+To link both Haskell libraries and system libraries statically, the additional
+flags `--ghc-option=-optl=-static --ghc-option=-optl=-pthread` need to be used.
+In Nix, this is accomplished with:
+
+    configureFlags = [ "--ghc-option=-optl=-static" "--ghc-option=-optl=-pthread" ];
+
+It's important to realize, however, that most system libraries in Nix are built
+as shared libraries only, i.e. there is just no static library available that
+Cabal could link!

-Node.js packages
-================
-The `pkgs/development/node-packages` folder contains a generated collection of
-[NPM packages](https://npmjs.com/) that can be installed with the Nix package
-manager.
-
-As a rule of thumb, the package set should only provide *end user* software
-packages, such as command-line utilities. Libraries should only be added to the
-package set if there is a non-NPM package that requires it.
-
-When it is desired to use NPM libraries in a development project, use the
-`node2nix` generator directly on the `package.json` configuration file of the
-project.
-
-The package set also provides support for multiple Node.js versions. The policy
-is that a new package should be added to the collection for the latest stable LTS
-release (which is currently 8.x), unless there is an explicit reason to support
-a different release.
-
-If your package uses native addons, you need to examine what kind of native
-build system it uses. Here are some examples:
-
-* `node-gyp`
-* `node-gyp-builder`
-* `node-pre-gyp`
-
-After you have identified the correct system, you need to override your package
-expression while adding in build system as a build input. For example, `dat`
-requires `node-gyp-build`, so we override its expression in `default-v8.nix`:
-
-```nix
-dat = nodePackages.dat.override (oldAttrs: {
-  buildInputs = oldAttrs.buildInputs ++ [ nodePackages.node-gyp-build ];
-});
-```
-
-To add a package from NPM to nixpkgs:
-
- 1. Modify `pkgs/development/node-packages/node-packages-v8.json` to add, update
-    or remove package entries. (Or `pkgs/development/node-packages/node-packages-v10.json`
-    for packages depending on Node.js 10.x)
- 2. Run the script: `(cd pkgs/development/node-packages && ./generate.sh)`.
- 3. Build your new package to test your changes:
-    `cd /path/to/nixpkgs && nix-build -A nodePackages.<new-or-updated-package>`.
-    To build against a specific Node.js version (e.g. 10.x):
-    `nix-build -A nodePackages_10_x.<new-or-updated-package>`
- 4. Add and commit all modified and generated files.
-
-For more information about the generation process, consult the
-[README.md](https://github.com/svanderburg/node2nix) file of the `node2nix`
-tool.

+# Python
+
+## User Guide
+
+Several versions of Python are available on Nix as well as a high amount of
+packages. The default interpreter is CPython 2.7.
+
+### Using Python
+
+#### Installing Python and packages
+
+It is important to make a distinction between Python packages that are
+used as libraries, and applications that are written in Python.
+
+Applications on Nix are installed typically into your user
+profile imperatively using `nix-env -i`, and on NixOS declaratively by adding the
+package name to `environment.systemPackages` in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`.
+Dependencies such as libraries are automatically installed and should not be
+installed explicitly.
+
+The same goes for Python applications and libraries. Python applications can be
+installed in your profile, but Python libraries you would like to use to develop
+cannot. If you do install libraries in your profile, then you will end up with
+import errors.
+
+#### Python environments using `nix-shell`
+
+The recommended method for creating Python environments for development is with
+`nix-shell`. Executing
+
+```sh
+$ nix-shell -p python35Packages.numpy python35Packages.toolz
+```
+
+opens a Nix shell which has available the requested packages and dependencies.
+Now you can launch the Python interpreter (which is itself a dependency)
+
+```sh
+[nix-shell:~] python3
+```
+
+If the packages were not available yet in the Nix store, Nix would download or
+build them automatically. A convenient option with `nix-shell` is the `--run`
+option, with which you can execute a command in the `nix-shell`. Let's say we
+want the above environment and directly run the Python interpreter
+
+```sh
+$ nix-shell -p python35Packages.numpy python35Packages.toolz --run "python3"
+```
+
+This way you can use the `--run` option also to directly run a script
+
+```sh
+$ nix-shell -p python35Packages.numpy python35Packages.toolz --run "python3 myscript.py"
+```
+
+In fact, for this specific use case there is a more convenient method. You can
+add a [shebang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_(Unix)) to your script
+specifying which dependencies Nix shell needs. With the following shebang, you
+can use `nix-shell myscript.py` and it will make available all dependencies and
+run the script in the `python3` shell.
+
+```py
+#! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
+#! nix-shell -i python3 -p python3Packages.numpy
+
+import numpy
+
+print(numpy.__version__)
+```
+
+Likely you do not want to type your dependencies each and every time. What you
+can do is write a simple Nix expression which sets up an environment for you,
+requiring you only to type `nix-shell`. Say we want to have Python 3.5, `numpy`
+and `toolz`, like before, in an environment. With a `shell.nix` file
+containing
+
+```nix
+with import <nixpkgs> {};
+
+(pkgs.python35.withPackages (ps: [ps.numpy ps.toolz])).env
+```
+executing `nix-shell` gives you again a Nix shell from which you can run Python.
+
+What's happening here?
+
+1. We begin with importing the Nix Packages collections. `import <nixpkgs>` import the `<nixpkgs>` function, `{}` calls it and the `with` statement brings all attributes of `nixpkgs` in the local scope. Therefore we can now use `pkgs`.
+2. Then we create a Python 3.5 environment with the `withPackages` function.
+3. The `withPackages` function expects us to provide a function as an argument that takes the set of all python packages and returns a list of packages to include in the environment. Here, we select the packages `numpy` and `toolz` from the package set.
+4. And finally, for in interactive use we return the environment by using the `env` attribute.
+
+### Developing with Python
+
+
+Now that you know how to get a working Python environment on Nix, it is time to go forward and start actually developing with Python.
+We will first have a look at how Python packages are packaged on Nix. Then, we will look how you can use development mode with your code.
+
+#### Python packaging on Nix
+
+On Nix all packages are built by functions. The main function in Nix for building Python packages is [`buildPythonPackage`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/python-modules/generic/default.nix).
+Let's see how we would build the `toolz` package. According to [`python-packages.nix`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/master/pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix) `toolz` is build using
+
+```nix
+toolz = buildPythonPackage rec{
+  name = "toolz-${version}";
+  version = "0.7.4";
+
+  src = pkgs.fetchurl{
+    url = "mirror://pypi/t/toolz/toolz-${version}.tar.gz";
+    sha256 = "43c2c9e5e7a16b6c88ba3088a9bfc82f7db8e13378be7c78d6c14a5f8ed05afd";
+  };
+
+  meta = {
+    homepage = "http://github.com/pytoolz/toolz/";
+    description = "List processing tools and functional utilities";
+    license = licenses.bsd3;
+    maintainers = with maintainers; [ fridh ];
+  };
+};
+```
+
+What happens here? The function `buildPythonPackage` is called and as argument
+it accepts a set. In this case the set is a recursive set ([`rec`](http://nixos.org/nix/manual/#sec-constructs)).
+One of the arguments is the name of the package, which consists of a basename
+(generally following the name on PyPi) and a version. Another argument, `src`
+specifies the source, which in this case is fetched from an url. `fetchurl` not
+only downloads the target file, but also validates its hash. Furthermore, we
+specify some (optional) [meta information](http://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#chap-meta).
+
+The output of the function is a derivation, which is an attribute with the name
+`toolz` of the set `pythonPackages`. Actually, sets are created for all interpreter versions,
+so `python27Packages`, `python34Packages`, `python35Packages` and `pypyPackages`.
+
+The above example works when you're directly working on
+`pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix` in the Nixpkgs repository. Often though,
+you will want to test a Nix expression outside of the Nixpkgs tree. If you
+create a `shell.nix` file with the following contents
+
+```nix
+with import <nixpkgs> {};
+
+pkgs.python35Packages.buildPythonPackage rec {
+  name = "toolz-${version}";
+  version = "0.7.4";
+
+  src = pkgs.fetchurl{
+    url = "mirror://pypi/t/toolz/toolz-${version}.tar.gz";
+    sha256 = "43c2c9e5e7a16b6c88ba3088a9bfc82f7db8e13378be7c78d6c14a5f8ed05afd";
+  };
+
+  meta = {
+    homepage = "http://github.com/pytoolz/toolz/";
+    description = "List processing tools and functional utilities";
+    license = licenses.bsd3;
+    maintainers = with maintainers; [ fridh ];
+  };
+}
+```
+
+and then execute `nix-shell` will result in an environment in which you can use
+Python 3.5 and the `toolz` package. As you can see we had to explicitly mention
+for which Python version we want to build a package.
+
+The above example considered only a single package. Generally you will want to use multiple packages.
+If we create a `shell.nix` file with the following contents
+
+```nix
+with import <nixpkgs> {};
+
+( let
+    toolz = pkgs.python35Packages.buildPythonPackage rec {
+      name = "toolz-${version}";
+      version = "0.7.4";
+
+      src = pkgs.fetchurl{
+        url = "mirror://pypi/t/toolz/toolz-${version}.tar.gz";
+        sha256 = "43c2c9e5e7a16b6c88ba3088a9bfc82f7db8e13378be7c78d6c14a5f8ed05afd";
+      };
+
+      meta = {
+        homepage = "http://github.com/pytoolz/toolz/";
+        description = "List processing tools and functional utilities";
+        license = licenses.bsd3;
+        maintainers = with maintainers; [ fridh ];
+      };
+    };
+
+  in pkgs.python35.withPackages (ps: [ps.numpy toolz])
+).env
+```
+
+and again execute `nix-shell`, then we get a Python 3.5 environment with our
+locally defined package as well as `numpy` which is build according to the
+definition in Nixpkgs. What did we do here? Well, we took the Nix expression
+that we used earlier to build a Python environment, and said that we wanted to
+include our own version of `toolz`. To introduce our own package in the scope of
+`withPackages` we used a
+[`let`](http://nixos.org/nix/manual/#sec-constructs) expression.
+You can see that we used `ps.numpy` to select numpy from the nixpkgs package set (`ps`).
+But we do not take `toolz` from the nixpkgs package set this time.
+Instead, `toolz` will resolve to our local definition that we introduced with `let`.
+
+### Handling dependencies
+
+Our example, `toolz`, doesn't have any dependencies on other Python
+packages or system libraries. According to the manual,  `buildPythonPackage`
+uses the arguments `buildInputs` and `propagatedBuildInputs` to specify dependencies. If something is
+exclusively a build-time dependency, then the dependency should be included as a
+`buildInput`, but if it is (also) a runtime dependency, then it should be added
+to `propagatedBuildInputs`. Test dependencies are considered build-time dependencies.
+
+The following example shows which arguments are given to `buildPythonPackage` in
+order to build [`datashape`](https://github.com/blaze/datashape).
+
+```nix
+datashape = buildPythonPackage rec {
+  name = "datashape-${version}";
+  version = "0.4.7";
+
+  src = pkgs.fetchurl {
+    url = "mirror://pypi/D/DataShape/${name}.tar.gz";
+    sha256 = "14b2ef766d4c9652ab813182e866f493475e65e558bed0822e38bf07bba1a278";
+  };
+
+  buildInputs = with self; [ pytest ];
+  propagatedBuildInputs = with self; [ numpy multipledispatch dateutil ];
+
+  meta = {
+    homepage = https://github.com/ContinuumIO/datashape;
+    description = "A data description language";
+    license = licenses.bsd2;
+    maintainers = with maintainers; [ fridh ];
+  };
+};
+```
+
+We can see several runtime dependencies, `numpy`, `multipledispatch`, and
+`dateutil`. Furthermore, we have one `buildInput`, i.e. `pytest`. `pytest` is a
+test runner and is only used during the `checkPhase` and is therefore not added
+to `propagatedBuildInputs`.
+
+In the previous case we had only dependencies on other Python packages to consider.
+Occasionally you have also system libraries to consider. E.g., `lxml` provides
+Python bindings to `libxml2` and `libxslt`. These libraries are only required
+when building the bindings and are therefore added as `buildInputs`.
+
+```nix
+lxml = buildPythonPackage rec {
+  name = "lxml-3.4.4";
+
+  src = pkgs.fetchurl {
+    url = "mirror://pypi/l/lxml/${name}.tar.gz";
+    sha256 = "16a0fa97hym9ysdk3rmqz32xdjqmy4w34ld3rm3jf5viqjx65lxk";
+  };
+
+  buildInputs = with self; [ pkgs.libxml2 pkgs.libxslt ];
+
+  meta = {
+    description = "Pythonic binding for the libxml2 and libxslt libraries";
+    homepage = http://lxml.de;
+    license = licenses.bsd3;
+    maintainers = with maintainers; [ sjourdois ];
+  };
+};
+```
+
+In this example `lxml` and Nix are able to work out exactly where the relevant
+files of the dependencies are. This is not always the case.
+
+The example below shows bindings to The Fastest Fourier Transform in the West, commonly known as
+FFTW. On Nix we have separate packages of FFTW for the different types of floats
+(`"single"`, `"double"`, `"long-double"`). The bindings need all three types,
+and therefore we add all three as `buildInputs`. The bindings don't expect to
+find each of them in a different folder, and therefore we have to set `LDFLAGS`
+and `CFLAGS`.
+
+```nix
+pyfftw = buildPythonPackage rec {
+  name = "pyfftw-${version}";
+  version = "0.9.2";
+
+  src = pkgs.fetchurl {
+    url = "mirror://pypi/p/pyFFTW/pyFFTW-${version}.tar.gz";
+    sha256 = "f6bbb6afa93085409ab24885a1a3cdb8909f095a142f4d49e346f2bd1b789074";
+  };
+
+  buildInputs = [ pkgs.fftw pkgs.fftwFloat pkgs.fftwLongDouble];
+
+  propagatedBuildInputs = with self; [ numpy scipy ];
+
+  # Tests cannot import pyfftw. pyfftw works fine though.
+  doCheck = false;
+
+  LDFLAGS="-L${pkgs.fftw.dev}/lib -L${pkgs.fftwFloat.out}/lib -L${pkgs.fftwLongDouble.out}/lib"
+  CFLAGS="-I${pkgs.fftw.dev}/include -I${pkgs.fftwFloat.dev}/include -I${pkgs.fftwLongDouble.dev}/include"
+  '';
+
+  meta = {
+    description = "A pythonic wrapper around FFTW, the FFT library, presenting a unified interface for all the supported transforms";
+    homepage = http://hgomersall.github.com/pyFFTW/;
+    license = with licenses; [ bsd2 bsd3 ];
+    maintainer = with maintainers; [ fridh ];
+  };
+};
+```
+Note also the line `doCheck = false;`, we explicitly disabled running the test-suite.
+
+
+#### Develop local package
+
+As a Python developer you're likely aware of [development mode](http://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#development-mode) (`python setup.py develop`);
+instead of installing the package this command creates a special link to the project code.
+That way, you can run updated code without having to reinstall after each and every change you make.
+Development mode is also available on Nix as [explained](http://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#ssec-python-development) in the Nixpkgs manual.
+Let's see how you can use it.
+
+In the previous Nix expression the source was fetched from an url. We can also refer to a local source instead using
+
+```nix
+src = ./path/to/source/tree;
+```
+
+If we create a `shell.nix` file which calls `buildPythonPackage`, and if `src`
+is a local source, and if the local source has a `setup.py`, then development
+mode is activated.
+
+In the following example we create a simple environment that
+has a Python 3.5 version of our package in it, as well as its dependencies and
+other packages we like to have in the environment, all specified with `propagatedBuildInputs`.
+Indeed, we can just add any package we like to have in our environment to `propagatedBuildInputs`.
+
+```nix
+with import <nixpkgs>;
+with pkgs.python35Packages;
+
+buildPythonPackage rec {
+  name = "mypackage";
+  src = ./path/to/package/source;
+  propagatedBuildInputs = [ pytest numpy pkgs.libsndfile ];
+};
+```
+
+It is important to note that due to how development mode is implemented on Nix it is not possible to have multiple packages simultaneously in development mode.
+
+
+### Organising your packages
+
+So far we discussed how you can use Python on Nix, and how you can develop with
+it. We've looked at how you write expressions to package Python packages, and we
+looked at how you can create environments in which specified packages are
+available.
+
+At some point you'll likely have multiple packages which you would
+like to be able to use in different projects. In order to minimise unnecessary
+duplication we now look at how you can maintain yourself a repository with your
+own packages. The important functions here are `import` and `callPackage`.
+
+### Including a derivation using `callPackage`
+
+Earlier we created a Python environment using `withPackages`, and included the
+`toolz` package via a `let` expression.
+Let's split the package definition from the environment definition.
+
+We first create a function that builds `toolz` in `~/path/to/toolz/release.nix`
+
+```nix
+{ pkgs, buildPythonPackage }:
+
+buildPythonPackage rec {
+  name = "toolz-${version}";
+  version = "0.7.4";
+
+  src = pkgs.fetchurl{
+    url = "mirror://pypi/t/toolz/toolz-${version}.tar.gz";
+    sha256 = "43c2c9e5e7a16b6c88ba3088a9bfc82f7db8e13378be7c78d6c14a5f8ed05afd";
+  };
+
+  meta = {
+    homepage = "http://github.com/pytoolz/toolz/";
+    description = "List processing tools and functional utilities";
+    license = licenses.bsd3;
+    maintainers = with maintainers; [ fridh ];
+  };
+};
+```
+
+It takes two arguments, `pkgs` and `buildPythonPackage`.
+We now call this function using `callPackage` in the definition of our environment
+
+```nix
+with import <nixpkgs> {};
+
+( let
+    toolz = pkgs.callPackage ~/path/to/toolz/release.nix { pkgs=pkgs; buildPythonPackage=pkgs.python35Packages.buildPythonPackage; };
+  in pkgs.python35.withPackages (ps: [ ps.numpy toolz ])
+).env
+```
+
+Important to remember is that the Python version for which the package is made
+depends on the `python` derivation that is passed to `buildPythonPackage`. Nix
+tries to automatically pass arguments when possible, which is why generally you
+don't explicitly define which `python` derivation should be used. In the above
+example we use `buildPythonPackage` that is part of the set `python35Packages`,
+and in this case the `python35` interpreter is automatically used.
+
+
+
+## Reference
+
+### Interpreters
+
+Versions 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 of the CPython interpreter are available on
+Nix and are available as `python26`, `python27`, `python33`, `python34` and
+`python35`. The PyPy interpreter is also available as `pypy`. Currently, the
+aliases `python` and `python3` correspond to respectively `python27` and
+`python35`. The Nix expressions for the interpreters can be found in
+`pkgs/development/interpreters/python`.
+
+
+#### Missing modules standard library
+
+The interpreters `python26` and `python27` do not include modules that
+require external dependencies. This is done in order to reduce the closure size.
+The following modules need to be added as `buildInput` explicitly:
+
+* `python.modules.bsddb`
+* `python.modules.curses`
+* `python.modules.curses_panel`
+* `python.modules.crypt`
+* `python.modules.gdbm`
+* `python.modules.sqlite3`
+* `python.modules.tkinter`
+* `python.modules.readline`
+
+For convenience `python27Full` and `python26Full` are provided with all
+modules included.
+
+All packages depending on any Python interpreter get appended
+`out/{python.sitePackages}` to `$PYTHONPATH` if such directory
+exists.
+
+#### Attributes on interpreters packages
+
+Each interpreter has the following attributes:
+
+- `libPrefix`. Name of the folder in `${python}/lib/` for corresponding interpreter.
+- `interpreter`. Alias for `${python}/bin/${executable}`.
+- `buildEnv`. Function to build python interpreter environments with extra packages bundled together. See section *python.buildEnv function* for usage and documentation.
+- `withPackages`. Simpler interface to `buildEnv`. See section *python.withPackages function* for usage and documentation.
+- `sitePackages`. Alias for `lib/${libPrefix}/site-packages`.
+- `executable`. Name of the interpreter executable, ie `python3.4`.
+
+### Building packages and applications
+
+Python packages (libraries) and applications that use `setuptools` or
+`distutils` are typically built with respectively the `buildPythonPackage` and
+`buildPythonApplication` functions.
+
+All Python packages reside in `pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix` and all
+applications elsewhere. Some packages are also defined in
+`pkgs/development/python-modules`. It is important that these packages are
+called in `pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix` and not elsewhere, to guarantee
+the right version of the package is built.
+
+Based on the packages defined in `pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix` an
+attribute set is created for each available Python interpreter. The available
+sets are
+
+* `pkgs.python26Packages`
+* `pkgs.python27Packages`
+* `pkgs.python33Packages`
+* `pkgs.python34Packages`
+* `pkgs.python35Packages`
+* `pkgs.pypyPackages`
+
+and the aliases
+
+* `pkgs.pythonPackages` pointing to `pkgs.python27Packages`
+* `pkgs.python3Packages` pointing to `pkgs.python35Packages`
+
+#### `buildPythonPackage` function
+
+The `buildPythonPackage` function is implemented in
+`pkgs/development/interpreters/python/build-python-package.nix`
+
+and can be used as:
+
+    twisted = buildPythonPackage {
+      name = "twisted-8.1.0";
+
+      src = pkgs.fetchurl {
+        url = http://tmrc.mit.edu/mirror/twisted/Twisted/8.1/Twisted-8.1.0.tar.bz2;
+        sha256 = "0q25zbr4xzknaghha72mq57kh53qw1bf8csgp63pm9sfi72qhirl";
+      };
+
+      propagatedBuildInputs = [ self.ZopeInterface ];
+
+      meta = {
+        homepage = http://twistedmatrix.com/;
+        description = "Twisted, an event-driven networking engine written in Python";
+        license = stdenv.lib.licenses.mit; };
+      };
+
+The `buildPythonPackage` mainly does four things:
+
+* In the `buildPhase`, it calls `${python.interpreter} setup.py bdist_wheel` to
+  build a wheel binary zipfile.
+* In the `installPhase`, it installs the wheel file using `pip install *.whl`.
+* In the `postFixup` phase, the `wrapPythonPrograms` bash function is called to
+  wrap all programs in the `$out/bin/*` directory to include `$PATH`
+  environment variable and add dependent libraries to script's `sys.path`.
+* In the `installCheck` phase, `${python.interpreter} setup.py test` is ran.
+
+As in Perl, dependencies on other Python packages can be specified in the
+`buildInputs` and `propagatedBuildInputs` attributes.  If something is
+exclusively a build-time dependency, use `buildInputs`; if it’s (also) a runtime
+dependency, use `propagatedBuildInputs`.
+
+By default tests are run because `doCheck = true`. Test dependencies, like
+e.g. the test runner, should be added to `buildInputs`.
+
+By default `meta.platforms` is set to the same value
+as the interpreter unless overriden otherwise.
+
+##### `buildPythonPackage` parameters
+
+All parameters from `mkDerivation` function are still supported.
+
+* `namePrefix`: Prepended text to `${name}` parameter. Defaults to `"python3.3-"` for Python 3.3, etc. Set it to `""` if you're packaging an application or a command line tool.
+* `disabled`: If `true`, package is not build for particular python interpreter version. Grep around `pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix` for examples.
+* `setupPyBuildFlags`: List of flags passed to `setup.py build_ext` command.
+* `pythonPath`: List of packages to be added into `$PYTHONPATH`. Packages in `pythonPath` are not propagated (contrary to `propagatedBuildInputs`).
+* `preShellHook`: Hook to execute commands before `shellHook`.
+* `postShellHook`: Hook to execute commands after `shellHook`.
+* `makeWrapperArgs`: A list of strings. Arguments to be passed to `makeWrapper`, which wraps generated binaries. By default, the arguments to `makeWrapper` set `PATH` and `PYTHONPATH` environment variables before calling the binary. Additional arguments here can allow a developer to set environment variables which will be available when the binary is run. For example, `makeWrapperArgs = ["--set FOO BAR" "--set BAZ QUX"]`.
+* `installFlags`: A list of strings. Arguments to be passed to `pip install`. To pass options to `python setup.py install`, use `--install-option`. E.g., `installFlags=["--install-option='--cpp_implementation'"].
+* `format`: Format of the source. Options are `setup` for when the source has a `setup.py` and `setuptools` is used to build a wheel, and `wheel` in case the source is already a binary wheel. The default value is `setup`.
+* `catchConflicts` If `true`, abort package build if a package name appears more than once in dependency tree. Default is `true`.
+* `checkInputs` Dependencies needed for running the `checkPhase`. These are added to `buildInputs` when `doCheck = true`.
+
+#### `buildPythonApplication` function
+
+The `buildPythonApplication` function is practically the same as `buildPythonPackage`.
+The difference is that `buildPythonPackage` by default prefixes the names of the packages with the version of the interpreter.
+Because with an application we're not interested in multiple version the prefix is dropped.
+
+#### python.buildEnv function
+
+Python environments can be created using the low-level `pkgs.buildEnv` function.
+This example shows how to create an environment that has the Pyramid Web Framework.
+Saving the following as `default.nix`
+
+    with import <nixpkgs> {};
+
+    python.buildEnv.override {
+      extraLibs = [ pkgs.pythonPackages.pyramid ];
+      ignoreCollisions = true;
+    }
+
+and running `nix-build` will create
+
+    /nix/store/cf1xhjwzmdki7fasgr4kz6di72ykicl5-python-2.7.8-env
+
+with wrapped binaries in `bin/`.
+
+You can also use the `env` attribute to create local environments with needed
+packages installed. This is somewhat comparable to `virtualenv`. For example,
+running `nix-shell` with the following `shell.nix`
+
+    with import <nixpkgs> {};
+
+    (python3.buildEnv.override {
+      extraLibs = with python3Packages; [ numpy requests2 ];
+    }).env
+
+will drop you into a shell where Python will have the
+specified packages in its path.
+
+
+##### `python.buildEnv` arguments
+
+* `extraLibs`: List of packages installed inside the environment.
+* `postBuild`: Shell command executed after the build of environment.
+* `ignoreCollisions`: Ignore file collisions inside the environment (default is `false`).
+
+#### python.withPackages function
+
+The `python.withPackages` function provides a simpler interface to the `python.buildEnv` functionality.
+It takes a function as an argument that is passed the set of python packages and returns the list 
+of the packages to be included in the environment. Using the `withPackages` function, the previous
+example for the Pyramid Web Framework environment can be written like this:
+
+    with import <nixpkgs> {};
+
+    python.withPackages (ps: [ps.pyramid])
+
+`withPackages` passes the correct package set for the specific interpreter version as an 
+argument to the function. In the above example, `ps` equals `pythonPackages`.
+But you can also easily switch to using python3:
+    
+    with import <nixpkgs> {};
+
+    python3.withPackages (ps: [ps.pyramid])
+
+Now, `ps` is set to `python3Packages`, matching the version of the interpreter.
+
+As `python.withPackages` simply uses `python.buildEnv` under the hood, it also supports the `env`
+attribute. The `shell.nix` file from the previous section can thus be also written like this:
+
+    with import <nixpkgs> {};
+
+    (python33.withPackages (ps: [ps.numpy ps.requests2])).env
+
+In contrast to `python.buildEnv`, `python.withPackages` does not support the more advanced options
+such as `ignoreCollisions = true` or `postBuild`. If you need them, you have to use `python.buildEnv`.
+
+### Development mode
+
+Development or editable mode is supported. To develop Python packages
+`buildPythonPackage` has additional logic inside `shellPhase` to run `pip
+install -e . --prefix $TMPDIR/`for the package.
+
+Warning: `shellPhase` is executed only if `setup.py` exists.
+
+Given a `default.nix`:
+
+    with import <nixpkgs> {};
+
+    buildPythonPackage { name = "myproject";
+
+    buildInputs = with pkgs.pythonPackages; [ pyramid ];
+
+    src = ./.; }
+
+Running `nix-shell` with no arguments should give you
+the environment in which the package would be built with
+`nix-build`.
+
+Shortcut to setup environments with C headers/libraries and python packages:
+
+    $ nix-shell -p pythonPackages.pyramid zlib libjpeg git
+
+Note: There is a boolean value `lib.inNixShell` set to `true` if nix-shell is invoked.
+
+### Tools
+
+Packages inside nixpkgs are written by hand. However many tools exist in
+community to help save time. No tool is preferred at the moment.

+## FAQ
+
+### How can I install a working Python environment?
+
+As explained in the user's guide installing individual Python packages
+imperatively with `nix-env -i` or declaratively in `environment.systemPackages`
+is not supported. However, it is possible to install a Python environment with packages (`python.buildEnv`).
+
+In the following examples we create an environment with Python 3.5, `numpy` and `ipython`.
+As you might imagine there is one limitation here, and that's you can install
+only one environment at a time. You will notice the complaints about collisions
+when you try to install a second environment.
+
+#### Environment defined in separate `.nix` file
+
+Create a file, e.g. `build.nix`, with the following expression
+```nix
+with import <nixpkgs> {};
+with python35Packages;
+
+python.withPackages (ps: with ps; [ numpy ipython ])
+```
+and install it in your profile with
+```
+nix-env -if build.nix
+```
+Now you can use the Python interpreter, as well as the extra packages that you added to the environment.
+
+#### Environment defined in `~/.nixpkgs/config.nix`
+
+If you prefer to, you could also add the environment as a package override to the Nixpkgs set.
+```
+  packageOverrides = pkgs: with pkgs; with python35Packages; {
+    myEnv = python.withPackages (ps: with ps; [ numpy ipython ]);
+  };
+```
+and install it in your profile with
+```
+nix-env -iA nixos.blogEnv
+```
+Note that I'm using the attribute path here.
+
+#### Environment defined in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`
+
+For the sake of completeness, here's another example how to install the environment system-wide.
+
+```nix
+environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
+  (python35Packages.python.withPackages (ps: callPackage ../packages/common-python-packages.nix { pythonPackages = ps; }))
+];
+```
+
+### How to solve circular dependencies?
+
+Consider the packages `A` and `B` that depend on each other. When packaging `B`,
+a solution is to override package `A` not to depend on `B` as an input. The same
+should also be done when packaging `A`.
+
+### How to override a Python package?
+
+Recursively updating a package can be done with `pkgs.overridePackages` as explained in the Nixpkgs manual.
+Python attribute sets are created for each interpreter version. We will therefore override the attribute set for the interpreter version we're interested.
+In the following example we change the name of the package `pandas` to `foo`.
+```
+newpkgs = pkgs.overridePackages(self: super: rec {
+  python35Packages = (super.python35Packages.override { self = python35Packages;})
+    // { pandas = super.python35Packages.pandas.override  {name = "foo";};
+  };
+});
+```
+This can be tested with
+```
+with import <nixpkgs> {};
+
+(let
+
+newpkgs = pkgs.overridePackages(self: super: rec {
+  python35Packages = (super.python35Packages.override { self = python35Packages;})
+    // { pandas = super.python35Packages.pandas.override  {name = "foo";};
+  };
+});
+in newpkgs.python35.withPackages (ps: [ps.blaze])
+).env
+```
+A typical use case is to switch to another version of a certain package. For example, in the Nixpkgs repository we have multiple versions of `django` and `scipy`.
+In the following example we use a different version of `scipy`. All packages in `newpkgs` will now use the updated `scipy` version.
+```
+with import <nixpkgs> {};
+
+(let
+
+newpkgs = pkgs.overridePackages(self: super: rec {
+  python35Packages = super.python35Packages.override {
+    self = python35Packages // { scipy = python35Packages.scipy_0_17;};
+  };
+});
+in newpkgs.python35.withPackages (ps: [ps.blaze])
+).env
+```
+The requested package `blaze` depends upon `pandas` which itself depends on `scipy`.
+
+A similar example but now using `django`
+```
+with import <nixpkgs> {};
+
+(let
+
+newpkgs = pkgs.overridePackages(self: super: rec {
+  python27Packages = (super.python27Packages.override {self = python27Packages;})
+    // { django = super.python27Packages.django_1_9; };
+});
+in newpkgs.python27.withPackages (ps: [ps.django_guardian ])
+).env
+```
+
+### `python setup.py bdist_wheel` cannot create .whl
+
+Executing `python setup.py bdist_wheel` in a `nix-shell `fails with
+```
+ValueError: ZIP does not support timestamps before 1980
+```
+This is because files are included that depend on items in the Nix store which have a timestamp of, that is, it corresponds to January the 1st, 1970 at 00:00:00. And as the error informs you, ZIP does not support that.
+The command `bdist_wheel` takes into account `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`, and `nix-shell` sets this to 1. By setting it to a value corresponding to 1980 or later, or by unsetting it, it is possible to build wheels.
+
+Use 1980 as timestamp:
+```
+nix-shell --run "SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=315532800 python3 setup.py bdist_wheel"
+```
+or the current time:
+```
+nix-shell --run "SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=$(date +%s) python3 setup.py bdist_wheel"
+```
+or unset:
+"""
+nix-shell --run "unset SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH; python3 setup.py bdist_wheel"
+"""
+
+### `install_data` / `data_files` problems
+
+If you get the following error:
+
+    could not create '/nix/store/6l1bvljpy8gazlsw2aw9skwwp4pmvyxw-python-2.7.8/etc':
+    Permission denied
+
+This is a [known bug](https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issue/130/install_data-doesnt-respect-prefix) in setuptools.
+Setuptools `install_data` does not respect `--prefix`. An example of such package using the feature is `pkgs/tools/X11/xpra/default.nix`.
+As workaround install it as an extra `preInstall` step:
+
+    ${python.interpreter} setup.py install_data --install-dir=$out --root=$out
+    sed -i '/ = data\_files/d' setup.py
+
+
+###  Rationale of non-existent global site-packages
+
+On most operating systems a global `site-packages` is maintained. This however
+becomes problematic if you want to run multiple Python versions or have multiple
+versions of certain libraries for your projects. Generally, you would solve such
+issues by creating virtual environments using `virtualenv`.
+
+On Nix each package has an isolated dependency tree which, in the case of
+Python, guarantees the right versions of the interpreter and libraries or
+packages are available. There is therefore no need to maintain a global `site-packages`.
+
+If you want to create a Python environment for development, then the recommended
+method is to use `nix-shell`, either with or without the `python.buildEnv`
+function.
+
+
+## Contributing
+
+### Contributing guidelines
+
+Following rules are desired to be respected:
+
+* Make sure package builds for all python interpreters. Use `disabled` argument to `buildPythonPackage` to set unsupported interpreters.
+* If tests need to be disabled for a package, make sure you leave a comment about reasoning.
+* Packages in `pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix` are sorted quasi-alphabetically to avoid merge conflicts.
+* Python libraries are supposed to be in `python-packages.nix` and packaged with `buildPythonPackage`. Python applications live outside of `python-packages.nix` and are packaged with `buildPythonApplication`.

-  Qt is a comprehensive desktop and mobile application development toolkit for

-R packages
-==========
-
-## Installation
-
-Define an environment for R that contains all the libraries that you'd like to
-use by adding the following snippet to your $HOME/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix file:
-
-```nix
-{
-    packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
-    {
-
-        rEnv = super.rWrapper.override {
-            packages = with self.rPackages; [
-                devtools
-                ggplot2
-                reshape2
-                yaml
-                optparse
-                ];
-        };
-    };
-}
-```
-
-Then you can use `nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA rEnv` to install it into your user
-profile. The set of available libraries can be discovered by running the
-command `nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A rPackages`. The first column from that
-output is the name that has to be passed to rWrapper in the code snipped above.
-
-However, if you'd like to add a file to your project source to make the
-environment available for other contributors, you can create a `default.nix`
-file like so:
-```nix
-let
-  pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
-  stdenv = pkgs.stdenv;
-in with pkgs; {
-  myProject = stdenv.mkDerivation {
-    name = "myProject";
-    version = "1";
-    src = if pkgs.lib.inNixShell then null else nix;
-
-    buildInputs = with rPackages; [
-      R
-      ggplot2
-      knitr
-    ];
-  };
-}
-```
-and then run `nix-shell .` to be dropped into a shell with those packages
-available.
-
-## RStudio
-
-RStudio uses a standard set of packages and ignores any custom R
-environments or installed packages you may have.  To create a custom
-environment, see `rstudioWrapper`, which functions similarly to
-`rWrapper`:
-
-```nix
-{
-    packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
-    {
-
-        rstudioEnv = super.rstudioWrapper.override {
-            packages = with self.rPackages; [
-                dplyr
-                ggplot2
-                reshape2
-                ];
-        };
-    };
-}
-```
-
-Then like above, `nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA rstudioEnv` will install
-this into your user profile.
-
-Alternatively, you can create a self-contained `shell.nix` without the need to
-modify any configuration files:
-
-```nix
-{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}
-}:
-
-pkgs.rstudioWrapper.override {
-  packages = with pkgs.rPackages; [ dplyr ggplot2 reshape2 ];
-}
-
-```
-
-Executing `nix-shell` will then drop you into an environment equivalent to the
-one above. If you need additional packages just add them to the list and
-re-enter the shell.
-
-## Updating the package set
-
-```bash
-nix-shell generate-shell.nix
-
-Rscript generate-r-packages.R cran  > cran-packages.nix.new
-mv cran-packages.nix.new cran-packages.nix
-
-Rscript generate-r-packages.R bioc  > bioc-packages.nix.new
-mv bioc-packages.nix.new bioc-packages.nix
-```
-
-`generate-r-packages.R <repo>` reads  `<repo>-packages.nix`, therefor the renaming.
-
-
-## Testing if the Nix-expression could be evaluated
-
-```bash
-nix-build test-evaluation.nix --dry-run
-```
-
-If this exits fine, the expression is ok. If not, you have to edit `default.nix`

-# User's Guide to the Rust Infrastructure
-
-To install the rust compiler and cargo put
-
-```
-rustc
-cargo
-```
-
-into the `environment.systemPackages` or bring them into
-scope with `nix-shell -p rustc cargo`.
-
-> If you are using NixOS and you want to use rust without a nix expression you
-> probably want to add the following in your `configuration.nix` to build
-> crates with C dependencies.
->
->     environment.systemPackages = [binutils gcc gnumake openssl pkgconfig]
-
-For daily builds (beta and nightly) use either rustup from
-nixpkgs or use the [Rust nightlies
-overlay](#using-the-rust-nightlies-overlay).
-
-## Compiling Rust applications with Cargo
-
-Rust applications are packaged by using the `buildRustPackage` helper from `rustPlatform`:
-
-```
-rustPlatform.buildRustPackage rec {
-  name = "ripgrep-${version}";
-  version = "0.4.0";
-
-  src = fetchFromGitHub {
-    owner = "BurntSushi";
-    repo = "ripgrep";
-    rev = "${version}";
-    sha256 = "0y5d1n6hkw85jb3rblcxqas2fp82h3nghssa4xqrhqnz25l799pj";
-  };

-
-  meta = with stdenv.lib; {
-    description = "A fast line-oriented regex search tool, similar to ag and ack";
-    homepage = https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep;
-    license = licenses.unlicense;
-    maintainers = [ maintainers.tailhook ];
-    platforms = platforms.all;
-  };
-}
-```
-
-`buildRustPackage` requires a `cargoSha256` attribute which is computed over
-all crate sources of this package. Currently it is obtained by inserting a
-fake checksum into the expression and building the package once. The correct
-checksum can be then take from the failed build.
-
-When the `Cargo.lock`, provided by upstream, is not in sync with the
-`Cargo.toml`, it is possible to use `cargoPatches` to update it. All patches
-added in `cargoPatches` will also be prepended to the patches in `patches` at
-build-time.
-
-## Compiling Rust crates using Nix instead of Cargo
-
-### Simple operation
-
-When run, `cargo build` produces a file called `Cargo.lock`,
-containing pinned versions of all dependencies. Nixpkgs contains a
-tool called `carnix` (`nix-env -iA nixos.carnix`), which can be used
-to turn a `Cargo.lock` into a Nix expression.
-
-That Nix expression calls `rustc` directly (hence bypassing Cargo),
-and can be used to compile a crate and all its dependencies. Here is
-an example for a minimal `hello` crate:
-
-
-    $ cargo new hello
-    $ cd hello
-    $ cargo build
-     Compiling hello v0.1.0 (file:///tmp/hello)
-      Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.20 secs
-    $ carnix -o hello.nix --src ./. Cargo.lock --standalone
-    $ nix-build hello.nix -A hello_0_1_0
-
-Now, the file produced by the call to `carnix`, called `hello.nix`, looks like:
-
-```
-# Generated by carnix 0.6.5: carnix -o hello.nix --src ./. Cargo.lock --standalone
-{ lib, stdenv, buildRustCrate, fetchgit }:
-let kernel = stdenv.buildPlatform.parsed.kernel.name;
-    # ... (content skipped)
-in
-rec {
-  hello = f: hello_0_1_0 { features = hello_0_1_0_features { hello_0_1_0 = f; }; };
-  hello_0_1_0_ = { dependencies?[], buildDependencies?[], features?[] }: buildRustCrate {
-    crateName = "hello";
-    version = "0.1.0";
-    authors = [ "pe@pijul.org <pe@pijul.org>" ];
-    src = ./.;
-    inherit dependencies buildDependencies features;
-  };
-  hello_0_1_0 = { features?(hello_0_1_0_features {}) }: hello_0_1_0_ {};
-  hello_0_1_0_features = f: updateFeatures f (rec {
-        hello_0_1_0.default = (f.hello_0_1_0.default or true);
-    }) [ ];
-}
-```
-
-In particular, note that the argument given as `--src` is copied
-verbatim to the source. If we look at a more complicated
-dependencies, for instance by adding a single line `libc="*"` to our
-`Cargo.toml`, we first need to run `cargo build` to update the
-`Cargo.lock`. Then, `carnix` needs to be run again, and produces the
-following nix file:
-
-```
-# Generated by carnix 0.6.5: carnix -o hello.nix --src ./. Cargo.lock --standalone
-{ lib, stdenv, buildRustCrate, fetchgit }:
-let kernel = stdenv.buildPlatform.parsed.kernel.name;
-    # ... (content skipped)
-in
-rec {
-  hello = f: hello_0_1_0 { features = hello_0_1_0_features { hello_0_1_0 = f; }; };
-  hello_0_1_0_ = { dependencies?[], buildDependencies?[], features?[] }: buildRustCrate {
-    crateName = "hello";
-    version = "0.1.0";
-    authors = [ "pe@pijul.org <pe@pijul.org>" ];
-    src = ./.;
-    inherit dependencies buildDependencies features;
-  };
-  libc_0_2_36_ = { dependencies?[], buildDependencies?[], features?[] }: buildRustCrate {
-    crateName = "libc";
-    version = "0.2.36";
-    authors = [ "The Rust Project Developers" ];
-    sha256 = "01633h4yfqm0s302fm0dlba469bx8y6cs4nqc8bqrmjqxfxn515l";
-    inherit dependencies buildDependencies features;
-  };
-  hello_0_1_0 = { features?(hello_0_1_0_features {}) }: hello_0_1_0_ {
-    dependencies = mapFeatures features ([ libc_0_2_36 ]);
-  };
-  hello_0_1_0_features = f: updateFeatures f (rec {
-    hello_0_1_0.default = (f.hello_0_1_0.default or true);
-    libc_0_2_36.default = true;
-  }) [ libc_0_2_36_features ];
-  libc_0_2_36 = { features?(libc_0_2_36_features {}) }: libc_0_2_36_ {
-    features = mkFeatures (features.libc_0_2_36 or {});
-  };
-  libc_0_2_36_features = f: updateFeatures f (rec {
-    libc_0_2_36.default = (f.libc_0_2_36.default or true);
-    libc_0_2_36.use_std =
-      (f.libc_0_2_36.use_std or false) ||
-      (f.libc_0_2_36.default or false) ||
-      (libc_0_2_36.default or false);
-  }) [];
-}
-```
-
-Here, the `libc` crate has no `src` attribute, so `buildRustCrate`
-will fetch it from [crates.io](https://crates.io). A `sha256`
-attribute is still needed for Nix purity.
-
-### Handling external dependencies
-
-Some crates require external libraries. For crates from
-[crates.io](https://crates.io), such libraries can be specified in
-`defaultCrateOverrides` package in nixpkgs itself.
-
-Starting from that file, one can add more overrides, to add features
-or build inputs by overriding the hello crate in a seperate file.
-
-```
-with import <nixpkgs> {};
-((import ./hello.nix).hello {}).override {
-  crateOverrides = defaultCrateOverrides // {
-    hello = attrs: { buildInputs = [ openssl ]; };
-  };
-}
-```
-
-Here, `crateOverrides` is expected to be a attribute set, where the
-key is the crate name without version number and the value a function.
-The function gets all attributes passed to `buildRustCrate` as first
-argument and returns a set that contains all attribute that should be
-overwritten.
-
-For more complicated cases, such as when parts of the crate's
-derivation depend on the the crate's version, the `attrs` argument of
-the override above can be read, as in the following example, which
-patches the derivation:
-
-```
-with import <nixpkgs> {};
-((import ./hello.nix).hello {}).override {
-  crateOverrides = defaultCrateOverrides // {
-    hello = attrs: lib.optionalAttrs (lib.versionAtLeast attrs.version "1.0")  {
-      postPatch = ''
-        substituteInPlace lib/zoneinfo.rs \
-          --replace "/usr/share/zoneinfo" "${tzdata}/share/zoneinfo"
-      '';
-    };
-  };
-}
-```
-
-Another situation is when we want to override a nested
-dependency. This actually works in the exact same way, since the
-`crateOverrides` parameter is forwarded to the crate's
-dependencies. For instance, to override the build inputs for crate
-`libc` in the example above, where `libc` is a dependency of the main
-crate, we could do:
-
-```
-with import <nixpkgs> {};
-((import hello.nix).hello {}).override {
-  crateOverrides = defaultCrateOverrides // {
-    libc = attrs: { buildInputs = []; };
-  };
-}
-```
-
-### Options and phases configuration
-
-Actually, the overrides introduced in the previous section are more
-general. A number of other parameters can be overridden:
-
- The version of rustc used to compile the crate:
-
-  ```
-  (hello {}).override { rust = pkgs.rust; };
-  ```
-
- Whether to build in release mode or debug mode (release mode by
-  default):
-
-  ```
-  (hello {}).override { release = false; };
-  ```
-
- Whether to print the commands sent to rustc when building
-  (equivalent to `--verbose` in cargo:
-
-  ```
-  (hello {}).override { verbose = false; };
-  ```
-
- Extra arguments to be passed to `rustc`:
-
-  ```
-  (hello {}).override { extraRustcOpts = "-Z debuginfo=2"; };
-  ```
-
- Phases, just like in any other derivation, can be specified using
-  the following attributes: `preUnpack`, `postUnpack`, `prePatch`,
-  `patches`, `postPatch`, `preConfigure` (in the case of a Rust crate,
-  this is run before calling the "build" script), `postConfigure`
-  (after the "build" script),`preBuild`, `postBuild`, `preInstall` and
-  `postInstall`. As an example, here is how to create a new module
-  before running the build script:
-
-  ```
-  (hello {}).override {
-    preConfigure = ''
-       echo "pub const PATH=\"${hi.out}\";" >> src/path.rs"
-    '';
-  };
-  ```
-
-### Features
-
-One can also supply features switches. For example, if we want to
-compile `diesel_cli` only with the `postgres` feature, and no default
-features, we would write:
-
-```
-(callPackage ./diesel.nix {}).diesel {
-  default = false;
-  postgres = true;
-}
-```
-
-Where `diesel.nix` is the file generated by Carnix, as explained above.
-
-
-## Setting Up `nix-shell`
-Oftentimes you want to develop code from within `nix-shell`. Unfortunately
-`buildRustCrate` does not support common `nix-shell` operations directly
-(see [this issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/37945))
-so we will use `stdenv.mkDerivation` instead.
-
-Using the example `hello` project above, we want to do the following:
- Have access to `cargo` and `rustc`
- Have the `openssl` library available to a crate through it's _normal_
-  compilation mechanism (`pkg-config`).
-
-A typical `shell.nix` might look like:
-
-```
-with import <nixpkgs> {};
-
-stdenv.mkDerivation {
-  name = "rust-env";
-  buildInputs = [
-    rustc cargo
-
-    # Example Additional Dependencies
-    pkgconfig openssl
-  ];
-
-  # Set Environment Variables
-  RUST_BACKTRACE = 1;
-}
-```
-
-You should now be able to run the following:
-```
-$ nix-shell --pure
-$ cargo build
-$ cargo test
-```
-
-### Controlling Rust Version Inside `nix-shell`
-To control your rust version (i.e. use nightly) from within `shell.nix` (or
-other nix expressions) you can use the following `shell.nix`
-
-```
-# Latest Nightly
-with import <nixpkgs> {};
-let src = fetchFromGitHub {
-      owner = "mozilla";
-      repo = "nixpkgs-mozilla";
-      # commit from: 2018-03-27
-      rev = "2945b0b6b2fd19e7d23bac695afd65e320efcebe";
-      sha256 = "034m1dryrzh2lmjvk3c0krgip652dql46w5yfwpvh7gavd3iypyw";
-   };
-in
-with import "${src.out}/rust-overlay.nix" pkgs pkgs;
-stdenv.mkDerivation {
-  name = "rust-env";
-  buildInputs = [
-    # Note: to use use stable, just replace `nightly` with `stable`
-    latest.rustChannels.nightly.rust
-
-    # Add some extra dependencies from `pkgs`
-    pkgconfig openssl
-  ];
-
-  # Set Environment Variables
-  RUST_BACKTRACE = 1;
-}
-```
-
-Now run:
-```
-$ rustc --version
-rustc 1.26.0-nightly (188e693b3 2018-03-26)
-```
-
-To see that you are using nightly.
-
-
-## Using the Rust nightlies overlay
-
-Mozilla provides an overlay for nixpkgs to bring a nightly version of Rust into scope.
-This overlay can _also_ be used to install recent unstable or stable versions
-of Rust, if desired.
-
-To use this overlay, clone
-[nixpkgs-mozilla](https://github.com/mozilla/nixpkgs-mozilla),
-and create a symbolic link to the file
-[rust-overlay.nix](https://github.com/mozilla/nixpkgs-mozilla/blob/master/rust-overlay.nix)
-in the `~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays` directory.
-
-    $ git clone https://github.com/mozilla/nixpkgs-mozilla.git
-    $ mkdir -p ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays
-    $ ln -s $(pwd)/nixpkgs-mozilla/rust-overlay.nix ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays/rust-overlay.nix
-
-The latest version can be installed with the following command:
-
-    $ nix-env -Ai nixos.latest.rustChannels.stable.rust
-
-Or using the attribute with nix-shell:
-
-    $ nix-shell -p nixos.latest.rustChannels.stable.rust
-
-To install the beta or nightly channel, "stable" should be substituted by
-"nightly" or "beta", or
-use the function provided by this overlay to pull a version based on a
-build date.
-
-The overlay automatically updates itself as it uses the same source as
-[rustup](https://www.rustup.rs/).

-title: User's Guide for Vim in Nixpkgs
-author: Marc Weber
-date: 2016-06-25
---
-# User's Guide to Vim Plugins/Addons/Bundles/Scripts in Nixpkgs
-
-Both Neovim and Vim can be configured to include your favorite plugins
-and additional libraries.
-
-Loading can be deferred; see examples.
-
-At the moment we support three different methods for managing plugins:
-
- Vim packages (*recommend*)
- VAM (=vim-addon-manager)
- Pathogen
-
-## Custom configuration
-
-Adding custom .vimrc lines can be done using the following code:
-
-```
-vim_configurable.customize {
-  name = "vim-with-plugins";
-
-  vimrcConfig.customRC = ''
-    set hidden
-  '';
-}
-```
-
-For Neovim the `configure` argument can be overridden to achieve the same:
-
-```
-neovim.override {
-  configure = {
-    customRC = ''
-      # here your custom configuration goes!
-    '';
-  };
-}
-```
-
-## Managing plugins with Vim packages
-
-To store you plugins in Vim packages the following example can be used:
-
-```
-vim_configurable.customize {
-  vimrcConfig.packages.myVimPackage = with pkgs.vimPlugins; {
-    # loaded on launch
-    start = [ youcompleteme fugitive ];
-    # manually loadable by calling `:packadd $plugin-name`
-    opt = [ phpCompletion elm-vim ];
-    # To automatically load a plugin when opening a filetype, add vimrc lines like:
-    # autocmd FileType php :packadd phpCompletion
-  };
-}
-```
-
-For Neovim the syntax is
-
-```
-neovim.override {
-  configure = {
-    customRC = ''
-      # here your custom configuration goes!
-    '';
-    packages.myVimPackage = with pkgs.vimPlugins; {
-      # see examples below how to use custom packages
-      start = [ ];
-      opt = [ ];
-    };
-  };
-}
-```
-
-The resulting package can be added to `packageOverrides` in `~/.nixpkgs/config.nix` to make it installable:
-
-```
-{
-  packageOverrides = pkgs: with pkgs; {
-    myVim = vim_configurable.customize {
-      name = "vim-with-plugins";
-      # add here code from the example section
-    };
-    myNeovim = neovim.override {
-      configure = {
-      # add here code from the example section
-      };
-    };
-  };
-}
-```
-
-After that you can install your special grafted `myVim` or `myNeovim` packages.
-
-## Managing plugins with VAM
-
-### Handling dependencies of Vim plugins
-
-VAM introduced .json files supporting dependencies without versioning
-assuming that "using latest version" is ok most of the time.
-
-### Example
-
-First create a vim-scripts file having one plugin name per line. Example:
-
-    "tlib"
-    {'name': 'vim-addon-sql'}
-    {'filetype_regex': '\%(vim)$', 'names': ['reload', 'vim-dev-plugin']}
-
-Such vim-scripts file can be read by VAM as well like this:
-
-    call vam#Scripts(expand('~/.vim-scripts'), {})
-
-Create a default.nix file:
-
-    { nixpkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}, compiler ? "ghc7102" }:
-    nixpkgs.vim_configurable.customize { name = "vim"; vimrcConfig.vam.pluginDictionaries = [ "vim-addon-vim2nix" ]; }
-
-Create a generate.vim file:
-
-    ActivateAddons vim-addon-vim2nix
-    let vim_scripts = "vim-scripts"
-    call nix#ExportPluginsForNix({
-    \  'path_to_nixpkgs': eval('{"'.substitute(substitute(substitute($NIX_PATH, ':', ',', 'g'), '=',':', 'g'), '\([:,]\)', '"\1"',"g").'"}')["nixpkgs"],
-    \  'cache_file': '/tmp/vim2nix-cache',
-    \  'try_catch': 0,
-    \  'plugin_dictionaries': ["vim-addon-manager"]+map(readfile(vim_scripts), 'eval(v:val)')
-    \ })
-
-Then run
-
-    nix-shell -p vimUtils.vim_with_vim2nix --command "vim -c 'source generate.vim'"
-
-You should get a Vim buffer with the nix derivations (output1) and vam.pluginDictionaries (output2).
-You can add your vim to your system's configuration file like this and start it by "vim-my":
-
-    my-vim =
-     let plugins = let inherit (vimUtils) buildVimPluginFrom2Nix; in {
-          copy paste output1 here
-     }; in vim_configurable.customize {
-       name = "vim-my";
-
-       vimrcConfig.vam.knownPlugins = plugins; # optional
-       vimrcConfig.vam.pluginDictionaries = [
-          copy paste output2 here
-       ];
-
-       # Pathogen would be
-       # vimrcConfig.pathogen.knownPlugins = plugins; # plugins
-       # vimrcConfig.pathogen.pluginNames = ["tlib"];
-     };
-
-
-Sample output1:
-
-    "reload" = buildVimPluginFrom2Nix { # created by nix#NixDerivation
-      name = "reload";
-      src = fetchgit {
-        url = "git://github.com/xolox/vim-reload";
-        rev = "0a601a668727f5b675cb1ddc19f6861f3f7ab9e1";
-        sha256 = "0vb832l9yxj919f5hfg6qj6bn9ni57gnjd3bj7zpq7d4iv2s4wdh";
-      };
-      dependencies = ["nim-misc"];
-
-    };
-    [...]
-
-Sample output2:
-
-    [
-      ''vim-addon-manager''
-      ''tlib''
-      { "name" = ''vim-addon-sql''; }
-      { "filetype_regex" = ''\%(vim)$$''; "names" = [ ''reload'' ''vim-dev-plugin'' ]; }
-    ]
-
-
-## Important repositories
-
- [vim-pi](https://bitbucket.org/vimcommunity/vim-pi) is a plugin repository
-  from VAM plugin manager meant to be used by others as well used by
-
- [vim2nix](http://github.com/MarcWeber/vim-addon-vim2nix) which generates the
-  .nix code

-
-   <para>
-    A commonly adopted convention in <literal>nixpkgs</literal> is that
-    executables provided by the package are contained within its first output.
-    This convention allows the dependent packages to reference the executables
-    provided by packages in a uniform manner. For instance, provided with the
-    knowledge that the <literal>perl</literal> package contains a
-    <literal>perl</literal> executable it can be referenced as
-    <literal>${pkgs.perl}/bin/perl</literal> within a Nix derivation that needs
-    to execute a Perl script.
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    The <literal>glibc</literal> package is a deliberate single exception to
-    the <quote>binaries first</quote> convention. The <literal>glibc</literal>
-    has <literal>libs</literal> as its first output allowing the libraries
-    provided by <literal>glibc</literal> to be referenced directly (e.g.
-    <literal>${stdenv.glibc}/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2</literal>). The
-    executables provided by <literal>glibc</literal> can be accessed via its
-    <literal>bin</literal> attribute (e.g.
-    <literal>${stdenv.glibc.bin}/bin/ldd</literal>).
-   </para>
-
-   <para>
-    The reason for why <literal>glibc</literal> deviates from the convention is
-    because referencing a library provided by <literal>glibc</literal> is a
-    very common operation among Nix packages. For instance, third-party
-    executables packaged by Nix are typically patched and relinked with the
-    relevant version of <literal>glibc</literal> libraries from Nix packages
-    (please see the documentation on
-    <link xlink:href="https://nixos.org/patchelf.html">patchelf</link> for more

-  <title>Defining overlays</title>
-
-  <para>
-   Overlays are Nix functions which accept two arguments, conventionally called
-   <varname>self</varname> and <varname>super</varname>, and return a set of
-   packages. For example, the following is a valid overlay.
-  </para>
-
-<programlisting>
-self: super:
-
-{
-  boost = super.boost.override {
-    python = self.python3;
-  };
-  rr = super.callPackage ./pkgs/rr {
-    stdenv = self.stdenv_32bit;
-  };
-}
-</programlisting>
-
-  <para>
-   The first argument (<varname>self</varname>) corresponds to the final
-   package set. You should use this set for the dependencies of all packages
-   specified in your overlay. For example, all the dependencies of
-   <varname>rr</varname> in the example above come from
-   <varname>self</varname>, as well as the overridden dependencies used in the
-   <varname>boost</varname> override.
-  </para>
-
-  <para>
-   The second argument (<varname>super</varname>) corresponds to the result of
-   the evaluation of the previous stages of Nixpkgs. It does not contain any of
-   the packages added by the current overlay, nor any of the following
-   overlays. This set should be used either to refer to packages you wish to
-   override, or to access functions defined in Nixpkgs. For example, the
-   original recipe of <varname>boost</varname> in the above example, comes from
-   <varname>super</varname>, as well as the <varname>callPackage</varname>
-   function.
-  </para>
-
-  <para>
-   The value returned by this function should be a set similar to
-   <filename>pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix</filename>, containing overridden
-   and/or new packages.
-  </para>
-
-  <para>
-   Overlays are similar to other methods for customizing Nixpkgs, in particular
-   the <literal>packageOverrides</literal> attribute described in
-   <xref linkend="sec-modify-via-packageOverrides"/>. Indeed,
-   <literal>packageOverrides</literal> acts as an overlay with only the
-   <varname>super</varname> argument. It is therefore appropriate for basic
-   use, but overlays are more powerful and easier to distribute.

-  The high change rate of nixpkgs makes any pull request that remains open for
-  too long subject to conflicts that will require extra work from the submitter
-  or the merger. Reviewing pull requests in a timely manner and being

-   <para>
-    Many Nix packages are designed to run on multiple platforms. As such, it's
-    important to let the maintainer know which platforms your changes have been
-    tested on. It's not always practical to test a change on all platforms, and

-
-   <para>
-    Packages with automated tests are much more likely to be merged in a timely
-    fashion because it doesn't require as much manual testing by the maintainer
-    to verify the functionality of the package. If there are existing tests for
-    the package, they should be run to verify your changes do not break the
-    tests. Tests only apply to packages with NixOS modules defined and can only
-    be run on Linux. For more details on writing and running tests, see the

-    minimum, the main executable for the package. For example, if you make a
