3# Replace a single dependency in the requisites tree of drv, propagating
4# the change all the way up the tree, without a full rebuild. This can be
5# useful, for example, to patch a security hole in libc and still use your
6# system safely without rebuilding the world. This should be a short term
7# solution, as soon as a rebuild can be done the properly rebuild derivation
8# should be used. The old dependency and new dependency MUST have the same-length
9# name, and ideally should have close-to-identical directory layout.
10#
11# Example: safeFirefox = replaceDependency {
12# drv = firefox;
13# oldDependency = glibc;
14# newDependency = overrideDerivation glibc (attrs: {
15# patches = attrs.patches ++ [ ./fix-glibc-hole.patch ];
16# });
17# };
18# This will rebuild glibc with your security patch, then copy over firefox
19# (and all of its dependencies) without rebuilding further.
