With cabal-install >= 3.12, we need to adjust our cabal-install overlay
once again.
- Due to the new dependency semaphore-compat, which appears to require
unix >= 2.8 it is very difficult to get to work for GHC < 9.6 (but
probably possible). Technically, using pkgs.cabal-install should
always be fine, so there's no strict need for cabal-install to work
with every GHC. Let's drop support for GHC < 9.6 for now.
- Make sure that cabal-install-solver also uses the latest version
always.
- Due to Cabal 3.12, we need to deviate from Stackage for
hackage-security. cabal-install does support the standard version of
resolv now, though.
`nix develop .#vimPluginsUpdater` now lets you enter a shell where you
can run `pkgs/applications/editors/vim/plugins/update.py` and
iteratively develop !
- removed `warn` warning from python by using `warning` instead
- `plugin2nix` was calling the same bit of code over and over thus
slowing down the generator by a lot
The context manager would previously just terminate early on exception.
As a result, the worktree and branch would not get pruned when update script failed.
Let’s wrap the cleanup code in `finally` block as suggested by Python docs:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/contextlib.html#contextlib.contextmanager
nixUnstable is a deprecated alias, so the script didn't work anymore.
Also, I see no need to avoid the default nix here (maybe years ago).
Tested on mirror-tarballs.service at pluto.nixos.org (atop 24.05).
When installing a lua package that depends on luarocks, luarocks was not
capable of recognizing the luarocks module: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/316009 .
As explained here https://github.com/luarocks/luarocks/issues/1659,
luarocks needs a manifest to recognize the package.
I first attempted to generate a manifest with `luarocks-admin
make-manifest` on our current manual luarocks derivation but this ended
up being too hackish as the `make-manifest` requires a .rockspec or
.rock to work, which we had not.
It seemed simpled to just rename the current manual luarocks derivation to luarocks_bootstrap
in order to break cyclic dependencies in buildLuarocksPackage and add a
generated luarocks derivation. Previously it was impossible to test
luarocks because of the cyclic dependency but we will now be able to
test the generated derivation.
- kio-extras-kf5 moved to misc because of release schedule weirdness
- calindori ported to KF6, reenabled
- some build fixes all over
- add 7zip to a bunch of games for SVG compression
