2020-03-11	Move some corepkgs into the nix binary	Eelco Dolstra

2014-07-30	Rename nixPath to __nixPath	Eelco Dolstra
	The name ‘nixPath’ breaks existing code.
2014-05-29	Fix test	Eelco Dolstra

2014-05-26	Make the Nix search path declarative	Eelco Dolstra
	Nix search path lookups like <nixpkgs> are now desugared to ‘findFile nixPath <nixpkgs>’, where ‘findFile’ is a new primop. Thus you can override the search path simply by saying let nixPath = [ { prefix = "nixpkgs"; path = "/my-nixpkgs"; } ]; in ... <nixpkgs> ... In conjunction with ‘scopedImport’ (commit c273c15cb13bb86420dda1e5341a4e19517532b5), the Nix search path can be propagated across imports, e.g. let overrides = { nixPath = [ ... ] ++ builtins.nixPath; import = fn: scopedImport overrides fn; scopedImport = attrs: fn: scopedImport (overrides // attrs) fn; builtins = builtins // overrides; }; in scopedImport overrides ./nixos
2014-05-26	Ensure that -I flags get included in nixPath	Eelco Dolstra
	Also fixes #261.
2014-05-26	Add constant ‘nixPath’	Eelco Dolstra
	It contains the Nix expression search path as a list of { prefix, path } sets, e.g. [ { path = "/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos"; prefix = ""; } { path = "/etc/nixos/configuration.nix"; prefix = "nixos-config"; } { path = "/home/eelco/Dev/nix/inst/share/nix/corepkgs"; prefix = "nix"; } ]
2012-01-03	* Refactoring: Get rid of a few subdirectories in corepkgs/, and some	Eelco Dolstra
	other simplifications. * Use <nix/...> to locate the corepkgs. This allows them to be overriden through $NIX_PATH. * Use bash's pipefail option in the NAR builder so that we don't need to create a temporary file.
2011-08-06	* Add the Nix corepkgs to the end of the search path. This makes it	Eelco Dolstra
	possible for other Nix expressions to use corepkgs (mostly useful for the buildenv function).
2011-08-06	* Allow redirections in search path entries. E.g. if you have a	Eelco Dolstra
	directory /home/eelco/src/stdenv-updates that you want to use as the directory for import such as with (import <nixpkgs> { }); then you can say $ nix-build -I nixpkgs=/home/eelco/src/stdenv-updates
2011-08-06	* Add a Nix expression search path feature. Paths between angle	Eelco Dolstra
	brackets, e.g. import <nixpkgs/pkgs/lib> are resolved by looking them up relative to the elements listed in the search path. This allows us to get rid of hacks like import "${builtins.getEnv "NIXPKGS_ALL"}/pkgs/lib" The search path can be specified through the ‘-I’ command-line flag and through the colon-separated ‘NIX_PATH’ environment variable, e.g., $ nix-build -I /etc/nixos ... If a file is not found in the search path, an error message is lazily thrown.
