Idris packages
==============
This directory contains build rules for idris packages. In addition,
it contains several functions to build and compose those packages.
Everything is exposed to the user via the `idrisPackages` attribute.
callPackage
------------
This is like the normal nixpkgs callPackage function, specialized to
idris packages.
builtins
---------
This is a list of all of the libraries that come packaged with Idris
itself.
build-idris-package
--------------------
A function to build an idris package. Its sole argument is a set like
you might pass to `stdenv.mkDerivation`, except `build-idris-package`
sets several attributes for you. See `build-idris-package.nix` for
details.
build-builtin-package
----------------------
A version of `build-idris-package` specialized to builtin libraries.
Mostly for internal use.
with-packages
-------------
Bundle idris together with a list of packages. Because idris currently
only supports a single directory in its library path, you must include
all desired libraries here, including `prelude` and `base`.
