/* 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`. */

  ##

, # The package set used at build-time. If null, `buildPackages` will
  # be defined internally as the final produced package set itself. This allows
  # us to avoid expensive splicing.

, # The package set used in the next stage. If null, `targetPackages` will be
  # defined internally as the final produced package set itself, just like with
  # `buildPackages` and for the same reasons.
  #
  # THIS IS A HACK for compilers that don't think critically about cross-
  # compilation. Please do *not* use unless you really know what you are doing.
  targetPackages

, # The standard environment to use for building packages.

  # the overridden configuration provided by the user, as opposed to the normal
  # bootstrapping stdenvs.
  allowCustomOverrides
