This aims to make the `weechat` package even more configurable. It
allows to specify scripts and commands using the `configure` function
inside a `weechat.override` expression.
The package can be configured like this:
```
with import <nixpkgs> { };
weechat.override {
plugins = { availablePlugins, ... }: {
plugins = builtins.attrValues availablePlugins;
init = ''
/set foo bar
/server add freenode chat.freenode.org
'';
scripts = [ "/path/to/script.py" ];
};
}
```
All commands are passed to `weechat --run-command "/set foo bar;/server ..."`.
The `plugins' attribute is not necessarily required anymore, if it's
sufficient to add `init' commands, the `plugins' will be
`builtins.attrValues availablePlugins' by default.
Additionally the result contains `weechat` and `weechat-headless`
(introduced in WeeChat 2.1) now.
I don't know when we can/should remove them, but this at least gets
people to stop using them. The preferred alternatives also date back to
17.09 so writing forward-compatable code without extra conditions is
easy.
Beginning with these as they are the least controversial.
Since #44522 it's possible to specify custom certificates for the Citrix
receiver. As it took me some time to create a proper setup Citrix can
behave fairly unexpected.
I mostly covered two aspects:
* Don't install Citrix with `nix run`: when `citrix.desktop` is linked
to $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS, it's possible to start a session directly from the
browser when loading `.ica` files which makes the usage *way* easier.
* It's possible to add custom certificates using the Citrix wrapper. A
new store path with the original derivation and the certificates will be
created and therefore no rebuild of the package is needed when adding
new certs.
The server is not verified over the git:// transfer protocol. If you
clone a repository over git://, you should check if the latest commit's
hash is correct.
On the other hand, https:// will always verify the server automatically,
using certificate authorities.
Use example package `zerobin` instead of `bepasty-server` which
is no longer part of python-packages.
This fixes the examples for current nixpkgs versions.
1. Use the same approach like in the overlay example:
Override `python` instead of `pythonPackages` so that
`python.pkgs` refers to the new package set like `pythonPackages`.
This also fixes a bug in the original example where
`pkgs.fetchgit` was not in scope.
Add an extra example to illustrate how to override just a
package set.
2. Fix mix-up between `super` and `self` in the explanation text.
Also, simplify the explanation.
This makes the command ‘nix-env -qa -f. --arg config '{skipAliases =
true;}'’ work in Nixpkgs.

- qtikz: use libsForQt5.callPackage
This ensures we get the right poppler.
- rewrites:
docbook5_xsl -> docbook_xsl_ns
docbook_xml_xslt -> docbook_xsl
diffpdf: fixup
This script is used to automatically fix issues within xml documentation
files.
The script is *for now* intended to be used ad-hoc, and the commits to
be examined.
A future discussion will define whether:
* This commit and scripts are kept.
* The script is extended for common use.
The biggest issue right now with the script is that it *could* in theory
destroy a valid space-less varlistentry.
The script could, in practical use, be changed and extended to normalize
some parts of the XML files, mainly:
* A common quoting style for attributes
* Fix-up some weird formatting automatically that xmlformat doesn't
catch
This fixes a regression introduced in 4b06383.

As suggested in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/39416#discussion_r183845745
the versioning attributes in `lib` should be consistent to
`nixos/version` which implicates the following changes:
* `lib.trivial.version` -> `lib.trivial.release`
* `lib.trivial.suffix` -> `lib.trivial.versionSuffix`
* `lib.nixpkgsVersion` -> `lib.version`
As `lib.nixpkgsVersion` is referenced several times in `NixOS/nixpkgs`,
`NixOS/nix` and probably several user's setups. As the rename will cause
a notable impact it's better to keep `lib.nixpkgsVersion` as alias with
a warning yielded by `builtins.trace`.
Note that a bunch of non-python packages use this attribute already.
Some of those are clearly unaware of the fact that this attribute does
not exists in stdenv because they define it but don't to add it to
their `bulidInputs` :)
Also note that I use `buildInputs` here and only handle regular
builds because python and haskell builders do it this way and I'm not
sure how to properly handle the cross-compilation case.
Setting haskell.packageOverrides like so:
haskell = super.haskell // {
packageOverrides = self: super: {
my-package = ...;
my-other-package = ...;
};
};
causes all compiler-specific package sets to be overridden with those
overrides.
