I made an abortive attempt at reducing the size of all-packages.nix a while
back:
I thought that at some point there was an effort to autogenerate (dynamically,
so not nix codegen) the list from readDir. If not, it seems like the majority
of packages could work that way, along with room to override where necessary.

all-packages.nix is gigantic, and because it's so large, github search
doesn't index it.
Would it be a good idea to move the attribute definitions into files per
package section?
So everything would still be in the pkgs attrset, only the definitions
would be split across multiple files.
the problem with readDir is slowness due to reading thousands of files...
nix codegen would fix that :)

No need to read all the files, right? You import them lazily based on what
readDir returns.

yes indeed that looks nice, it would eliminate some 3855 lines of 9351
non-empty lines... With more probably a small refactor away.

Yes, but you still need to traverse the directory tree, which itself takes a
long time on non-SSD disks.

well, that traversal could be automated at commit time? It's just an
optimization...
