lib/types: Set name of types.package to "package" Nobody seems to have noticed this (except @Profpatsch) that options with a "package" type do not get included in the manual. So debugging this was a bit more involving because while generating the manual there is an optionList' attribute built from the collected attributes of all the option declarations. Up to that point everything is fine except if it comes to builtins.toXML, where attributes with { type = "derivation" } won't get included, for example see here: nix-repl> builtins.toXML { type = "derivation"; foo = "bar"; } "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>\n<expr>\n <derivation> <repeated />\n </derivation>\n</expr>\n" nix-repl> builtins.toXML { type = "somethingelse"; foo = "bar"; } "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>\n<expr>\n <attrs> <attr name=\"foo\">\n <string value=\"bar\" />\n </attr> <attr name=\"type\">\n <string value=\"somethingelse\" /> </attr>\n </attrs>\n</expr>\n" The following function in libexpr/eval.cc (Nix) is responsible for toXML dropping the attributes: bool EvalState::isDerivation(Value & v) { if (v.type != tAttrs) return false; Bindings::iterator i = v.attrs->find(sType); if (i == v.attrs->end()) return false; forceValue(*i->value); if (i->value->type != tString) return false; return strcmp(i->value->string.s, "derivation") == 0; } So I've renamed this now to "package" which is not only more consistent with the option type but also shouldn't cause similar issues anymore. Tested this on base of b60ceea, because building the dependencies on recent libc/staging changes on master took too long.
