The `dev` output is empty anyway.
The problem is that it interacts badly with other parts of python and
stdenv infrastructure. In particular, before this patch it installs
code into `out` output (with only generated `nix-support` in `dev`),
but `makePythonPath` then uses `propagatedBuildInputs` to generate
`PYTHONPATH` while stdenv selects `dev` outputs for
`propagatedBuiltInputs`. This results in `makePythonPath` linking to
the empty `dev` output in `PYTHONPATH`.
This reverts a piece of commit 28299f669a.
Changes added in 4d1fd3775d break
automated updates by moving to a custom version scheme.
This switches back to upstream versioning, while maintaining version
schema convention of `builtins.parseDrvName`.

xboxdrv doesn’t use scons for installing, but instead using a
makefile! Everything else is in scons so we have to keep that. I’ve
added a dontUseSconsInstall flag to the scons setup-hook to skip the
automatic overwrite of default “make install” call.
The scons build system is python-based and has a binary named scons. Unlike CMake, it cannot generate makefiles so we end up having to override the build, install, and check phases. I have added the setupHook to the scons package so that integration requires no unique steps - just putting scons in nativeBuildInputs should be enough. sconsFlags controls the flags specifically passed to scons while buildFlags, installFlags, and checkFlags should still be usable. Some packages use different names for the prefix flag. In those cases you will have to set "prefixKey" to something like "PREFIX=" as there are multiple names for the "prefix" used in scons.
The waf build system is python-based and hosted locally in each package in the executable file named "waf". Unlike CMake, it cannot generate makefiles so we end up having to override the configure, build, and install phases. I've tried to keep these as close to what's in setup.sh as possible. If there is no waf file in the root directory, then we just copy the one hosted in Nixpkgs. Otherwise the only thing you have to add to a package using Waf is "wafHook" into nativeBuildInputs. wafFlags controls the flags specifically passed to waf while configureFlags, buildFlags, and installFlags are still used as in the generic builder.
Some packages don’t work correctly with pie. Here I disable it for:
- busybox
- linux kernel
- kexectools
I also get rid of the Musl conditional for disabling pie in GCC and
Binutils. Some day we might want to enable PIE without Musl and it
will be useful to have the *just* work with our compiler and linkers.
