callPackage already calls makeOverridable, but that just
makes the function that evaluates to buildEnv overridable,
not buildEnv itself.
If no overridable version of buildEnv is used during construction,
users can't override e.g. `paths` at all
Since 3cb745d5a69018829ac15f7d5a508135f6bda123, the format of
propagated-user-env-packages has changed and propagated packages have not been
included by buildenv, including in the system environment.
The buildenv builder is modified to read propagated-user-env-packages
line-by-line, instead of expecting all packages on one line.
This patch fixes#16614 and #16741.
The first issue was caused by the fact that both `/share` and
`/share/fish/vendor_completions.d` end in the `pathsToLink`. The
`pkgs/build-support/buildenv/builder.pl` creates `/share`, then links
`/share/fish` under `/share` and then tries to create the directory
`/share/fish/vendor_completions.d` and fails because it already exists.
The simplest way to reproduce the issue is to build the next Nix
expression:
```nix
let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { };
in pkgs.buildEnv {
name = "buildenv-issue";
paths = [
pkgs.fish
pkgs.vim
];
pathsToLink = [
"/share"
"/share/fish/vendor_completions.d"
];
}
```
The second issue is more critical and was caused by the fact findFiles
doesn't recurse deep enough. It stops at first unique directory for the
package (e.g., "/share" or even "/") and later the scripts decides it
shouldn't link it as it doesn't match pathsToLink (e.g., "/share/fish"),
so the result is empty.
The test:
```nix
let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { };
in pkgs.buildEnv {
name = "buildenv-issue";
paths = [
pkgs.fish
pkgs.vim
];
pathsToLink = [
"/share/fish/functions"
];
}
```
or
```nix
let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { };
in pkgs.buildEnv {
name = "buildenv-issue";
paths = [
pkgs.vim
];
pathsToLink = [
"/share"
];
}
```
I supplied meta.outputsToInstall automatically in all
mkDerivation products, but some packages still don't use it.
The reported case: jekyll -> bundlerEnv -> buildEnv -> runCommand.
Regression introduced by 4529ed12590d7f814e40223437c7df4fea492e2d.
I've missed this in #5096, not because of a messed up rebase as I have
guessed from a comment on #12635 but missed this in the first place.
The testing I did while working on the pull request weren't exhaustive
enough to cover this, because I haven't tested with packages that use
the propagatedUserEnvPkgs attribute.
In order to make the test a bit more exhaustive this time, let's test it
using:
nix-build -E 'with import ./. {}; buildEnv {
name = "testenv";
paths = [
pkgs.hello pkgs.binutils pkgs.libsoup pkgs.gnome3.yelp
pkgs.gnome3.totem
];
}'
And with this commit the errors no longer show up and the environment is
built correctly.

Fixes: #12635
- Now `pkg.outputUnspecified = true` but this attribute is missing in
every output, so we can recognize whether the user chose or not.
If (s)he didn't choose, we put `pkg.bin or pkg.out or pkg` into
`systemPackages`.
- `outputsToLink` is replaced by `extraOutputsToLink`.
We add extra outputs *regardless* of whether the user chose anything.
It's mainly meant for outputs with docs and debug symbols.
- Note that as a result, some libraries will disappear from system path.
Checking file contents is redundant in this case, because we will go
ahead anyway, regardless of whether the content is the same.

Originally wanted to include ignoreCollisions in cups-progs, but I think
it's better if we use ignoreCollisions only if there are _real_
collisions between files with different contents.
Of course, we also check whether the file permissions match, so you get
a collision if contents are the same but the permissions are different.
