The previous approach of manually repeating a complex pattern inside Common Lisp implementation package declarations was fragile and hard to change. After reading python and lua modules code in Nixpkgs, I was able to come up with something better. The function `wrapLisp` doesn't need to be inside package declarations so all the code for wrapping Lisps can be in `all-packages.nix`. This works by wrapping the `override` function created from `mkDerivation` to accept a new argument `packageOverrides`. One problem with this is that `override.__functionArgs` disappears. But one can look at the source code of a package to discover what can be overridden. |
