Hi Benno, > Why don't we make the `.env` shellHook the default shellHook for the > derivation too?
Mateusz requested something like that earlier, and I created [1] to make sure it's not forgotten. Basically, the idea was that an appropriate shellHook allows you to work interactively in the standard build, too. All you need is a couple of aliases and/or variables that provide convenient short-cuts for building "./Setup" and for running "./Setup configure" with appropriate flags. I believe the original mailing list thread about this subject began at [2]. > I guess this can make debugging for people working on the generic-builder > more difficult, since they can no longer use nix-shell for that. I wouldn't worry about that. If this ever becomes a problem, then we'll extend "nix-shell" with a flag that tells it to ignore shellHook. :-) Take care, Peter [1] https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/5916 [2] http://lists.science.uu.nl/pipermail/nix-dev/2015-January/015790.html _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
