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