# A generalization of Nixpkgs's `strings-with-deps.nix`.
#
# The main differences from the Nixpkgs version are
#
#  - not specific to strings, i.e., any payload is OK,
#
#  - the addition of the function `entryBefore` indicating a "wanted
#    by" relationship.

  # Takes an attribute set containing entries built by entryAnywhere,
  # entryAfter, and entryBefore to a topologically sorted list of
  # entries.
  #
  # Internally this function uses the `toposort` function in
  # `<nixpkgs/lib/lists.nix>` and its value is accordingly.
  #
  # Specifically, the result on success is
  #
  #    { result = [ { name = ?; data = ?; } … ] }
  #
  # For example
  #
  #    nix-repl> topoSort {
  #                a = entryAnywhere "1";
  #                b = entryAfter [ "a" "c" ] "2";

  #                d = entryBefore [ "e" ] "4";
