/* This file composes a single bootstrapping stage of the Nix Packages
   collection. That is, it imports the functions that build the various
   packages, and calls them with appropriate arguments. The result is a set of
   all the packages in the Nix Packages collection for some particular platform
   for some particular stage.

   Default arguments are only provided for bootstrapping
   arguments. Normal users should not import this directly but instead
   import `pkgs/default.nix` or `default.nix`. */
