Transform a directory tree containing package files suitable for
`callPackage` into a matching nested attribute set of derivations.
For a directory tree like this:
```
my-packages
a.nix
b.nix
c
my-extra-feature.patch
package.nix
support-definitions.nix
my-namespace
d.nix
e.nix
f
package.nix
```
`packagesFromDirectoryRecursive` will produce an attribute set like this:
```nix
# packagesFromDirectoryRecursive {
# callPackage = pkgs.callPackage;
# directory = ./my-packages;
# }
{
a = pkgs.callPackage ./my-packages/a.nix { };
b = pkgs.callPackage ./my-packages/b.nix { };
c = pkgs.callPackage ./my-packages/c/package.nix { };
my-namespace = {
d = pkgs.callPackage ./my-packages/my-namespace/d.nix { };
e = pkgs.callPackage ./my-packages/my-namespace/e.nix { };
f = pkgs.callPackage ./my-packages/my-namespace/f/package.nix { };
};
}
```
In particular:
- If the input directory contains a `package.nix` file, then
`callPackage <directory>/package.nix { }` is returned.
- Otherwise, the input directory's contents are listed and transformed into
an attribute set.
- If a file name has the `.nix` extension, it is turned into attribute
where:
- The attribute name is the file name without the `.nix` extension
- The attribute value is `callPackage <file path> { }`
- Other files are ignored.
- Directories are turned into an attribute where:
- The attribute name is the name of the directory
- The attribute value is the result of calling
`packagesFromDirectoryRecursive { ... }` on the directory.
As a result, directories with no `.nix` files (including empty
directories) will be transformed into empty attribute sets.
Example:
packagesFromDirectoryRecursive {
inherit (pkgs) callPackage;
directory = ./my-packages;
}
=> { ... }
lib.makeScope pkgs.newScope (
self: packagesFromDirectoryRecursive {
callPackage = self.callPackage;
directory = ./my-packages;

)
=> { ... }
