# Packages
|
|
Similar to [modules](./modules.md), the pkgs directory mirrors the upstream
|
|
[nixpkgs/pkgs][pkgs], and for the same reason; if you ever want to upstream
|
|
your package, it's as simple as dropping it into the nixpkgs/pkgs directory.
|
|
|
|
The only minor difference is that, instead of adding the `callPackage` call to
|
|
`all-packages.nix`, you just add it the the _default.nix_ in this directory,
|
|
which is defined as a simple overlay.
|
|
|
|
All the packages are exported via `packages.<system>.<pkg-name>`, for all
|
|
the supported systems listed in the package's `meta.platforms` attribute.
|
|
|
|
And, as usual, every package in the overlay is also available to any NixOS
|
|
[host](../concepts/hosts.md).
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
pkgs/development/libraries/libinih/default.nix:
|
|
```nix
|
|
{ stdenv, meson, ninja, lib, srcs, ... }:
|
|
let inherit (srcs) libinih; in
|
|
stdenv.mkDerivation {
|
|
pname = "libinih";
|
|
|
|
# version will resolve to 53, as specified in the final example below
|
|
inherit (libinih) version;
|
|
|
|
src = libinih;
|
|
|
|
buildInputs = [ meson ninja ];
|
|
|
|
# ...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
pkgs/default.nix:
|
|
```nix
|
|
final: prev: {
|
|
libinih = prev.callPackage ./development/libraries/libinih { };
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
pkgs/flake.nix:
|
|
```nix
|
|
{
|
|
description = "Package sources";
|
|
|
|
inputs = {
|
|
libinih.url = "github:benhoyt/inih/r53";
|
|
libinih.flake = false;
|
|
};
|
|
}
|
|
```
