nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level
Eelco Dolstra 3cfc942bdc * Added a function `applyGlobalOverrides' to return Nixpkgs with the
specified overrides applied.  This does the same as the
  `packageOverrides' attribute in ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix, but can be
  used within all-packages.nix to do a "deep" override for some
  specific package.  For instance, to build Thunderbird with an older
  version of Glib, you can say:

    thunderbird3 =
      let
        pkgs = applyGlobalOverrides (pkgsOrig:
          { gtkLibs220 = pkgsOrig.gtkLibs220 // 
              { glib = pkgsOrig.gtkLibs218.glib; };
          });
      in
        pkgs.callPackage .../thunderbird/3.x.nix {
          inherit (pkgs.gnome) libIDL;
        };

  Note that `pkgsFun' now has an argument `pkgs' to refer to its own
  result.

* Moved callPackage etc. into pkgsFun so that it uses the right
  overriden packages, if applicable.  `defaultScope' isn't in the
  result set because that causes nix-env to go into an apparently
  infinite recursion.

* Dropped the optional pkgsOrig argument to ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix,
  because it's probably not useful or used.
