A recent upgrade of cargo-vendor changed its output slightly, which
broke all cargoSha256 hashes in nixpkgs.
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/60668 for more information.
Since then, a few hashes have been fixed in master by hand, but there
were a lot still to do, so I did all of the ones left over with some
scripts I wrote.
The one hash I wasn’t able to update was habitat's, because it’s
currently broken and the build doesn’t get far enough to produce a
hash anyway.
I'm baaaaack!
This patch reverts my patch where I removed myself as maintainer because
of my traveling. I'm back now and I want to maintain these packages
again.
This reverts commit ce1c1e3093.
With this patch I remove myself as a maintainer for all packages I
currently maintain.
This is due the fact that I will be basically off the grid from May 2018
until early 2019, as I will be on a trip through north america.
I will revert this patch as soon as I'm back, as I plan to continue
contributing to nixpkgs then.
But as I cannot maintain anything during that time, I'd like to get this
patch merged.

The biggest benefit is that we no longer have to update the registry
package. This means that just about any cargo package can be built by
nix. No longer does `cargo update` need to be feared because it will
update to packages newer then what is available in nixpkgs.
Instead of fetching the cargo registry this bundles all the source code
into a "vendor/" folder.
This also uses the new --frozen and --locked flags which is nice.
Currently cargo-vendor only provides binaries for Linux and
macOS 64-bit. This can be solved by building it for the other
architectures and uploading it somewhere (like the NixOS cache).
This also has the downside that it requires a change to everyone's deps
hash. And if the old one is used because it was cached it will fail to
build as it will attempt to use the old version. For this reason the
attribute has been renamed to `cargoSha256`.
