nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/release-attrpaths-superset.nix

# This expression will, as efficiently as possible, dump a
# *superset* of all attrpaths of derivations which might be
# part of a release on *any* platform.
#
# Both this expression and what ofborg uses (release-outpaths.nix)
# are essentially single-threaded (under the current cppnix
# implementation).
#
# This expression runs much, much, much faster and uses much, much
# less memory than the ofborg script by skipping the
# platform-relevance checks.  The ofborg outpaths.nix script takes
# half an hour on a 3ghz core and peaks at 60gbytes of memory; this
# expression runs on the same machine in 44 seconds with peak memory
# usage of 5gbytes.
#
# Once you have the list of attrnames you can split it up into
# $NUM_CORES batches and run the platform checks separately for each
# batch, in parallel.
#
# To dump the attrnames:
#
#   nix-instantiate --eval --strict --json pkgs/top-level/release-attrpaths-superset.nix -A names
#
{ lib ? import (path + "/lib")
, trace ? false
, enableWarnings ? true
, checkMeta ? true
, path ? ./../..

  #
  # 2. No attrname in the attrpath belongs to the list of forbidden
  #    attrnames `excluded-attrnames-at-any-depth`
  #
  # 3. The attrpath leads to a value for which lib.isDerivation is true
  #
  # 4. No proper prefix of the attrpath has __attrsFailEvaluation=true
  #
  # 5. Any proper prefix of the attrpath at which lib.isDerivation
  #    is true also has __recurseIntoDerivationForReleaseJobs=true.
