If preferred, I have a patch fixing the inconsistency the other way at https://github.com/shlevy/nix/tree/fix-drv-storePath-drvPath-like (shlevy@89c47e8) |
Previously, plain derivation paths in the string context (e.g. those that arose from builtins.storePath on a drv file, not those that arose from accessing .drvPath of a derivation) were treated somewhat like derivaiton paths derived from .drvPath, except their dependencies weren't recursively added to the input set. With this change, such plain derivation paths are simply treated as paths and added to the source inputs set accordingly, simplifying context handling code and removing the inconsistency. If drvPath-like behavior is desired, the .drv file can be imported and then .drvPath can be accessed. This is a backwards-incompatibility, but storePath is never used on drv files within nixpkgs and almost never used elsewhere.
