Motivation for this change

Without this change, developPackage does not work for projects where the directory has a different name than the .cabal file. You also can't do root = builtins.filterSource... because builtins.baseNameOf doesn't work on filterSource's return value.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Nice improvement. The documentation still mentions that the directory and cabal file should have the same name. Could you update it?
