The latest release of libyamlcpp in nixpkgs does not build because it
uses an older version of boost than the one in nixpkgs and therefore
expects a particular header file which does not exist in the latest
boost anymore. For this reason, a later (git) version of libyamlcpp is
used here (which actually doesn't even require boost).
The substituteInPlace in the prePatch phase is needed because libevdev
places its headers in non-standard places, meaning Nix cannot normally
find them. The `cut` command removes the first two "-I" characters from
the output of `pkg-config`. This needs to be in the prePatch phase
because otherwise Nix will patch these lines to `/var/empty`, meaning
you would have less specific replacement (in case other lines are also
patched to `/var/empty`).
I wrote the patch. (I believe it is NixOS specific.)
In order to run the tests for the external plugins of beets, we need to
have beets itself as a dependency. So in order to do that, we now pass
beets without plugins and tests to the nativeBuildInputs of the plugins
so that we can run them.
As soon as the plugins are built they become part of the final beets,
which also has tests enabled, so disabling the tests for beets
derivation that is used for external plugin tests is a non-issue here
because they're going to be executed anyway.
Enabling tests for the alternatives plugin is pretty straightforward,
but in order to run tests for the copyartifacts plugin, we need to bump
the source code to the latest Git master.
The reason for this is that the version that was in use until now
required to have the beets source directory alongside of the
copyartifacts source code, but we already have beets available as a
normal dependency.
Updating copyartifacts to latest master largely consists of unit test
changes and a few Python 3 compatibility changes. However, one change
has the biggest stat, which is
sbarakat/beets-copyartifacts@1a0c281da0.
Fortunately, the last change is just moving the implementation to a
newer API from upstream beets and by the looks of the implementation it
seems to break support for moving files. However, reverting this commit
also reveals that moving files was already broken before, so it wouldn't
matter much whether we have this version bump or not.
Tested with the following command:
nix-build -E '(import ./. {}).beets.override {
enableAlternatives = true;
enableCopyArtifacts = true;
}'

Regression introduced by 94351197cd.
Running the tests results in the following traceback:
...
File ".../unittest/loader.py", line 91, in loadTestsFromName
module = __import__('.'.join(parts_copy))
File ".../test/regrtest.py", line 184, in <module>
for module in sys.modules.itervalues():
RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration
The reason for this is that the test directory itself is called "test"
and the package including regrtest.py is also called "test", so the
loader tries to load tests from its own implementation.
We could fix this by changing PYTHONPATH and/or making the test
directory a proper package, but we'd still have failing tests because
beets itself is required to run the tests.
However for now I'm just removing the unit_tests kwarg in setup.py so
that we have the same behaviour as before the initially mentioned
commit.

This becomes necessary if more wrappers besides cc-wrapper start
supporting hardening flags. Also good to make the warning into an
error.
Also ensure interface is being used right: Not as a string, not just in
bash.
