recurseIntoAttrs is used to hint that we have an attribute set of derivations below, thus to let a few function iterate over the full list of packages. If we don't have it is probably because we don't want to list the set of packages which are below. -- Nicolas Pierron http://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolasbpierron - http://nbp.name/ _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
