It's a WIP, but I hope it's understandable and contains the necessary information to start packaging something using the builtin derivation function.

Looks pretty good! I've used NixOS for a few years but never done much with derivations, and I learnt quite a bit from that.

Great, thank you! I'll be moving on to mkDerivation soon. Hopefully budding packagers will be less intimidated than I was when I started.
