This commit splits the `buildPythonPackage` into multiple setup hooks.
Generally, Python packages are built from source to wheels using `setuptools`.
The wheels are then installed with `pip`. Tests were often called with
`python setup.py test` but this is less common nowadays. Most projects
now use a different entry point for running tests, typically `pytest`
or `nosetests`.
Since the wheel format was introduced more tools were built to generate these,
e.g. `flit`. Since PEP 517 is provisionally accepted, defining a build-system
independent format (`pyproject.toml`), `pip` can now use that format to
execute the correct build-system.
In the past I've added support for PEP 517 (`pyproject`) to the Python
builder, resulting in a now rather large builder. Furthermore, it was not possible
to reuse components elsewhere. Therefore, the builder is now split into multiple
setup hooks.
The `setuptoolsCheckHook` is included now by default but in time it should
be removed from `buildPythonPackage` to make it easier to use another hook
(curently one has to pass in `dontUseSetuptoolsCheck`).
The go modules utilized by the project and the vendored dependencies already
diverged, so the nix build of `wtf` was slightly out-of-date regarding the
official binary.
The gocenter proxy provides "immutable re-usable Go modules" which should avoid
the problem of any dependency suddenly vanishing.
- Remove gnome2 (#39976)
- Use pango instead of gnome2.pango
- Remove gnome2.GConf
- Remove gtk2-x11
- Add at-spi2-atk dependency
- Explicitly import packages rather than just pkgs or xorg
- Refactor patchelf to be more generic
- Use wrapGAppsHook
- As this app uses GTK3 for the UI, we need to use wrapGAppsHook
- Move libPath creation to postFixup
- Remove dontPatchELF
- Remove unnecessary Postman binary, only use _Postman
- Remove unnecessary makeWrapper
- Add dontConfigure
- Remove unnecessary lib
- Move libPath inputs to buildInputs
