Isn't , buildFHSEnv ? buildFHSUserEnv
dead code?
If I remove it eval fails like:
error: undefined variable 'buildFHSEnv'

@SuperSandro2000 Could you share with me on which exact nixpkgs commit this fails for you? I cannot reproduce it on a recent nixos-unstable
?
I am not merging this PR, as it is the equivalent of this:
$ nix eval --expr '({ a, b ? c, c ? b }: a) { a = 1; }'
1
No problem, as b
and c
are not used. However once they are, since they are referencing each other, you obviously get a infinite recursion error:
$ nix eval --expr '({ a, b ? c, c ? b }: b) { a = 1; }'
error: infinite recursion encountered

I forgot to mention that I have aliases disabled,
Had to figure out what you meant with that, but that was the missing piece of information. You meant you have the allowAliases
config option of nixpkgs set to false
, and only in that case will it fail to evaluate, as this alias will not be used. Now that I know your PR is basically reintroducing this alias in the package itself, and that it should not harm any other setups, I have merged it. Thanks for your contribution!
