Vladimír Čunát ab8a691d05 nixos systemPackages: rework default outputs
- Now `pkg.outputUnspecified = true` but this attribute is missing in
  every output, so we can recognize whether the user chose or not.
  If (s)he didn't choose, we put `pkg.bin or pkg.out or pkg` into
  `systemPackages`.
- `outputsToLink` is replaced by `extraOutputsToLink`.
  We add extra outputs *regardless* of whether the user chose anything.
  It's mainly meant for outputs with docs and debug symbols.
- Note that as a result, some libraries will disappear from system path.

Some NixOS packages provide debug symbols. However, these are
not included in the system closure by default to save disk
space. Enabling this option causes the debug symbols to appear
in <filename>/run/current-system/sw/lib/debug/.build-id</filename>,
where tools such as <command>gdb</command> can find them.
If you need debug symbols for a package that doesn't
provide them by default, you can enable them as follows:
<!-- FIXME: ugly, see #10721 -->
<programlisting>
nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides = pkgs: {
hello = overrideDerivation pkgs.hello (attrs: {
outputs = attrs.outputs or ["out"] ++ ["debug"];
buildInputs = attrs.buildInputs ++ [&lt;nixpkgs/pkgs/build-support/setup-hooks/separate-debug-info.sh>];
});
};
</programlisting>
'';
};
};
config = {
# FIXME: currently disabled because /lib is already in
# environment.pathsToLink, and we can't have both.
#environment.pathsToLink = [ "/lib/debug/.build-id" ];
environment.extraOutputsToLink =
optional config.environment.enableDebugInfo "debug";
};
}
