# A shell to get tooling for Nixpkgs development # # Note: We intentionally don't use Flakes here, # because every time you change any file and do another `nix develop`, # it would create another copy of the entire ~500MB tree in the store. # See https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6530 for the future # # Note: We use a pinned Nixpkgs so that the tools are readily available even # when making changes that would otherwise require a new build of those tools. # If you'd like to test out changes to the tools themselves, you can pass # # nix-shell --arg nixpkgs ./. # { system ? builtins.currentSystem, nixpkgs ? null, }: let inherit (import ./ci { inherit nixpkgs system; }) pkgs; # For `nix-shell -A hello` curPkgs = builtins.removeAttrs (import ./. { inherit system; }) [ # Although this is what anyone may expect from a `_type = "pkgs"`, # this file is intended to produce a shell in the first place, # and a `_type` tag could confuse some code. "_type" ]; in curPkgs // pkgs.mkShellNoCC { packages = with pkgs; [ # The default formatter for Nix code # See https://github.com/NixOS/nixfmt nixfmt-rfc-style # Helper to review Nixpkgs PRs # See CONTRIBUTING.md nixpkgs-review ]; }
