The OS becomes too bloated, and you need to reinstall? Listen, listen, what if we do reinstall on every package install, then no bloat can survive - #NixOS

Nice, lib.packagesFromDirectoryRecursive now supports nested scopes!

packagesFromDirectoryRecursive transforms a directory tree of packages into a nested attribute set of derivations. You can use it to manage a package set in a similar way to by-name in nixpkgs (without the sharding part). The package files in tree must be suitable for callPackage.

Subdirectories in the tree result in nested attribute sets. In the following example, packages d, e and f will be in a nested attribute set called my-namespace.

my-packages
├── a.nix
├── b.nix
├── c
│  ├── my-extra-feature.patch
│  ├── package.nix
│  └── support-definitions.nix
└── my-namespace
   ├── d.nix
   ├── e.nix
   └── f
      └── package.nix

Previously, this would only use one scope (my-packages), so e could only depend on d as my-packages.d. With the introduction of nested scopes, e can refer to d within the same scope directly.

I’ll be speaking at Cloud Native Days LA in #SCaLE22x about leveraging #nix / #nixos to build pretty small container images. I’ll make an attempt at showing you the benefits of using something like Nix to do this, and daydream about possible future integrations. Looking forward to seeing you there!
