Nix Overrides

  • overrideDerivation is used to override the call to derivation
  • overrideAttrs is used to override the call to stdenv.mkDerivation
  • override is used to override the last function call. Often this will be the callPackage call.
  • overridePythonAttrs is used to override the call to buildPython*.

This PR NixOS/nixpkgs#46842 discusses the idea to have a generic overrideArgs that works like overridePythonAttrs for all language infrastructures.
