-(`stdenv` needs to be in scope, so if you write this in a separate Nix expression from `pkgs/all-packages.nix`, you need to pass it as a function argument.) Specifying a `name` and a `src` is the absolute minimum Nix requires. For convenience, you can also use `pname` and `version` attributes and `mkDerivation` will automatically set `name` to `"${pname}-${version}"` by default. Since [RFC 0035](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/35), this is preferred for packages in Nixpkgs, as it allows us to reuse the version easily:
