1 Want to add a package? There are 3 simple steps!
2 1. Add the needed system names to quicklisp-to-nix-systems.txt.
3 2. cd <path to quicklisp-to-nix-systems.txt> ; nix-shell --pure --run 'quicklisp-to-nix .'
4 You might want to specify also the --cacheSystemInfoDir and --cacheFaslDir
5 parameters to preserve some data between runs. For example, it is very
6 useful when you add new packages with native dependencies and fail to
7 specify the native dependencies correctly the first time.
8 (Might be nice to ensure the cache directories exist)
9 3. Add native libraries and whatever else is needed to quicklisp-to-nix-overrides.nix.
10 If libraries are needed during package analysis then add them to shell.nix, too.
11 4. Sometimes there are problems with loading implementation-provided systems.
12 In this case you might need to add more systems in the implementation's (so
13 SBCL's) entry into *implementation-systems* in quicklisp-to-nix/system-info.lisp
15 To update to a more recent quicklisp dist modify
16 lispPackages.quicklisp to have a more recent distinfo.
18 quicklisp-to-nix-system-info is responsible for installing a quicklisp
19 package into an isolated environment and figuring out which packages
20 are required by that system. It also extracts other information that
21 is readily available once the system is loaded. The information
22 produced by this program is fed into quicklisp-to-nix. You usually
23 don't need to run this program unless you're trying to understand why
24 quicklisp-to-nix failed to handle a system. The technique used by
25 quicklisp-to-nix-system-info is described in its source.
27 quicklisp-to-nix is responsible for reading
28 quicklisp-to-nix-systems.txt, running quicklisp-to-nix-system-info,
29 and generating the nix packages associated with the closure of
