The following is the current implementation of this function.

readPathsFromFile = lib.warn "lib.readPathsFromFile is deprecated, use a list instead."
    (rootPath: file:
      let
        lines = lib.splitString "\n" (readFile file);
        removeComments = lib.filter (line: line != "" && !(lib.hasPrefix "#" line));
        relativePaths = removeComments lines;
        absolutePaths = map (path: rootPath + "/${path}") relativePaths;
      in
        absolutePaths);
