`overrideDerivation drv f` takes a derivation (i.e., the result
of a call to the builtin function `derivation`) and returns a new
derivation in which the attributes of the original are overridden
according to the function `f`. The function `f` is called with
the original derivation attributes.
`overrideDerivation` allows certain "ad-hoc" customisation
scenarios (e.g. in ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix). For instance,
if you want to "patch" the derivation returned by a package
function in Nixpkgs to build another version than what the
function itself provides.
For another application, see build-support/vm, where this
function is used to build arbitrary derivations inside a QEMU
virtual machine.
Note that in order to preserve evaluation errors, the new derivation's
outPath depends on the old one's, which means that this function cannot
be used in circular situations when the old derivation also depends on the
new one.
You should in general prefer `drv.overrideAttrs` over this function;
see the nixpkgs manual for more information on overriding.

/**
Make an attribute set (a "scope") from functions that take arguments from that same attribute set.
See [](#ex-makeScope) for how to use it.
# Inputs
1. `newScope` (`AttrSet -> ((AttrSet -> a) | Path) -> AttrSet -> a`)
A function that takes an attribute set `attrs` and returns what ends up as `callPackage` in the output.
Typical values are `callPackageWith` or the output attribute `newScope`.
2. `f` (`AttrSet -> AttrSet`)
A function that takes an attribute set as returned by `makeScope newScope f` (a "scope") and returns any attribute set.
This function is used to compute the fixpoint of the resulting scope using `callPackage`.
Its argument is the lazily evaluated reference to the value of that fixpoint, and is typically called `self` or `final`.
See [](#ex-makeScope) for how to use it.
See [](#sec-functions-library-fixedPoints) for details on fixpoint computation.
# Output
`makeScope` returns an attribute set of a form called `scope`, which also contains the final attributes produced by `f`:
```
scope :: {
callPackage :: ((AttrSet -> a) | Path) -> AttrSet -> a
newScope = AttrSet -> scope
overrideScope = (scope -> scope -> AttrSet) -> scope
packages :: AttrSet -> AttrSet
}
```
- `callPackage` (`((AttrSet -> a) | Path) -> AttrSet -> a`)
A function that
1. Takes a function `p`, or a path to a Nix file that contains a function `p`, which takes an attribute set and returns value of arbitrary type `a`,
2. Takes an attribute set `args` with explicit attributes to pass to `p`,
3. Calls `f` with attributes from the original attribute set `attrs` passed to `newScope` updated with `args`, i.e. `attrs // args`, if they match the attributes in the argument of `p`.
All such functions `p` will be called with the same value for `attrs`.
See [](#ex-makeScope-callPackage) for how to use it.
- `newScope` (`AttrSet -> scope`)
Takes an attribute set `attrs` and returns a scope that extends the original scope.
- `overrideScope` (`(scope -> scope -> AttrSet) -> scope`)
Takes a function `g` of the form `final: prev: { # attributes }` to act as an overlay on `f`, and returns a new scope with values determined by `extends g f`.
See [](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#function-library-lib.fixedPoints.extends) for details.
This allows subsequent modification of the final attribute set in a consistent way, i.e. all functions `p` invoked with `callPackage` will be called with the modified values.
- `packages` (`AttrSet -> AttrSet`)
The value of the argument `f` to `makeScope`.
- final attributes
The final values returned by `f`.
# Examples
:::{#ex-makeScope .example}
# Create an interdependent package set on top of `pkgs`
The functions in `foo.nix` and `bar.nix` can depend on each other, in the sense that `foo.nix` can contain a function that expects `bar` as an attribute in its argument.
```nix
let
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { };
in
pkgs.lib.makeScope pkgs.newScope (self: {
foo = self.callPackage ./foo.nix { };
bar = self.callPackage ./bar.nix { };
})
```
evaluates to
```nix
{
callPackage = «lambda»;
newScope = «lambda»;
overrideScope = «lambda»;
packages = «lambda»;
foo = «derivation»;
bar = «derivation»;
}
```

/**
Define a `mkDerivation`-like function based on another `mkDerivation`-like function.
[`stdenv.mkDerivation`](#part-stdenv) gives access to
its final set of derivation attributes when it is passed a function,
or when it is passed an overlay-style function in `overrideAttrs`.
Instead of composing new `stdenv.mkDerivation`-like build helpers
using normal function composition,
`extendMkDerivation` makes sure that the returned build helper
supports such first class recursion like `mkDerivation` does.
`extendMkDerivation` takes an extra attribute set to configure its behaviour.
One can optionally specify
`transformDrv` to specify a function to apply to the result derivation,
or `inheritFunctionArgs` to decide whether to inherit the `__functionArgs`
from the base build helper.
# Inputs
`extendMkDerivation`-specific configurations
: `constructDrv` (required)
: Base build helper, the `mkDerivation`-like build helper to extend.
`excludeDrvArgNames` (default to `[ ]`)
: Argument names not to pass from the input fixed-point arguments to `constructDrv`.
It doesn't apply to the updating arguments returned by `extendDrvArgs`.
`excludeFunctionArgNames` (default to `[ ]`)
: `__functionArgs` attribute names to remove from the result build helper.
`excludeFunctionArgNames` is useful for argument deprecation while avoiding ellipses.
`extendDrvArgs` (required)
: An extension (overlay) of the argument set, like the one taken by [`overrideAttrs`](#sec-pkg-overrideAttrs) but applied before passing to `constructDrv`.
`inheritFunctionArgs` (default to `true`)
: Whether to inherit `__functionArgs` from the base build helper.
Set `inheritFunctionArgs` to `false` when `extendDrvArgs`'s `args` set pattern does not contain an ellipsis.
`transformDrv` (default to `lib.id`)
: Function to apply to the result derivation.
