Motivation for this change

I like to use steam to run all my games, including ones that work through dosbox. This lets me include dosbox in the chroot environment, by doing this in config.nix:

steam = pkgs.steam.override { extraEmulators = [ pkgs.dosbox ]; };

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing
    (nix.useSandbox on NixOS,
    or option build-use-sandbox in nix.conf
    on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • Linux
  • 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/)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Sorry, something went wrong.

why extraEmulators? You can add any package here, so it would make more sense to say extraPkgs. But then you have to be more specific and say (e.g. with a comment) where those extra packages are added to.

extraPkgs is fine. Can you point me to an example of the kind of comment you mean?

@FRidh to be honest I also didn't fully get what you meant by this comment -- perhaps to mention somewhere about existence of this option?

An extraPkgs option would add extra packages...but where? Looking at buildFHSUserEnv there's targetPkgs and multiPkgs. In this case, extraPkgs will be added to both so it is less relevant.

@FRidh Ah, got it! I think we can either make two arguments (extraPkgs + extraMultiPkgs) or leave one and add them to targetPkgs (with a comment then).

PTAL; I've changed it to extraPkgs and added a comment.

Please make this a function:

extraPkgs ? pkgs: []

Also, they actually would be added only to targetPkgs.

And here pass pkgs to the function: extraPkgs pkgs.

This way you will use the same package set buildFHSEnv passes to the function above.
