Previously, meta.platforms would be checked for each package when
generating package attributes for a system, so that unsupported packages
would not have an output attribute. This commit removes that behavior.
Now `nix flake show` will succeed even if packages fail to evaluate on
other platforms. `nix flake show --all-systems` will still fail though.
`devShell` accepted either a package def, a submodule value, or a
function to a submodule value. `devShells` only accepted package defs.
This brings all the options of `devShells` to any devShell configured
with `devShells`.
`nullOr`'s merge function requires definitions to all be null or all be
non-null. It was being used where the intent was that null be used as a
value representing unset, and as such the merge should return null if
all definitions are null and ignore nulls otherwise. This adds a type
with that merge semantics.
Many attributes can take moduleArgs when auto-loaded in order to
facilitate access to them from other files. Those same attributes could
not take moduleArgs when included directly, which was inconsistent.
With this change, all attributes that could take moduleArgs when
auto-loaded can now always do so. Auto-loading no longer needs special
cases.
optFunctionTo results in a function which needs to be called when using
the option value. This is needed when the argument is not known when
building types (such as with pkgs). When the args are known (for
example, moduleArgs), this leads to more complex code than just calling
the function and resulting in the target type. optCallWith does the
latter.
In addition to a regular bundler of the form `x: x`, this allows setting
bundler options to a function of the form `pkgs: x: x` which is passed
the package set for the system (for example: `{ hello, ... }: x: hello`
to always return hello). This allows, in particular, an autoloaded
bundler in its own file to access the package set.
This is non-trivial as we must tell `x: x` and `pkgs: x: x` apart.
Fortunately, given some derivation `drv`, `pkgs // drv` is a valid
derivation and a set with attr names matching pkgs. When applying this
to the function, if it returns a derivation, it was of the `x: x` form,
and if it returns a function, it was of the `pkgs: x: x` form.
In order to prevent IFD when evaluating the flake if the bundler is of
form `x: x` and uses IFD, we determine the form and apply pkgs when
applying the bundler instead of during flake evaluation. This is done by
wrapping the bundler.
Of note, we cannot rely on `builtins.functionArgs`, since
`pkgs: { hello, ... }: (x: hello) pkgs` is the same as the inner
function but with args hidden.
If merge is not set for an option type, it will use the default merge
function; this was not what was intended. Updated the merge values for
options that did not set one to mergeOneOption or mergeEqualOption.
This allows for conveniently making flakes callable.
Setting this is expected to be uncommon in general, but having the
option is useful as flakelight module flakes can use this to reduce the
boilerplate in using them.
