Setting up a XMPP chat server is a pretty deep rabbit whole to jump in
when you're not familiar with this whole universe. Your experience
with this environment will greatly depends on whether or not your
server implements the right set of XEPs.
To tackle this problem, the XMPP community came with the idea of
creating a meta-XEP in charge of listing the desirable XEPs to comply
with. This meta-XMP is issued every year under an new XEP number. The
2020 one being XEP-0423[1].
This prosody nixos module refactoring makes complying with XEP-0423
easier. All the necessary extensions are enabled by default. For some
extensions (MUC and HTTP_UPLOAD), we need some input from the user and
cannot provide a sensible default nixpkgs-wide. For those, we guide
the user using a couple of assertions explaining the remaining manual
steps to perform.
We took advantage of this substential refactoring to refresh the
associated nixos test.
Changelog:
- Update the prosody package to provide the necessary community
modules in order to comply with XEP-0423. This is a tradeoff, as
depending on their configuration, the user might end up not using them
and wasting some disk space. That being said, adding those will
allow the XEP-0423 users, which I expect to be the majority of
users, to leverage a bit more the binary cache.
- Add a muc submodule populated with the prosody muc defaults.
- Add a http_upload submodule in charge of setting up a basic http
server handling the user uploads. This submodule is in is
spinning up an HTTP(s) server in charge of receiving and serving the
user's attachments.
- Advertise both the MUCs and the http_upload endpoints using mod disco.
- Use the slixmpp library in place of the now defunct sleekxmpp for
the prosody NixOS test.
- Update the nixos test to setup and test the MUC and http upload
features.
- Add a couple of assertions triggered if the setup is not xep-0423
compliant.

Since the introduction of php.unwrapped there's no real need for the
phpXXbase attributes, so let's remove them to lessen potential
confusion and clutter. Also update the docs to make it clear how to
get hold of an unwrapped PHP if needed.

* treewide Drop unneeded go 1.12 overrides
* Fix packr to be go module compatible.
I updated to version 2.8.0 which is the latest on master.
Then due to the 2 different sets of go modules which are used, I split
the build into two different derivations, then merged them togethor
using symlinkJoin to have the same output structure as the existing derivation.
* Remove consul dependency on go1.12
I updated the consul version to 1.7.2 and flipped it to building using
modules.
* Remove go1.12 from perkeep.
Update the version to the latest unstable on master.
* Update scaleway-cli to not be pinned to go1.12
Switched the version to 1.20
* Update prometheus-varnish-exporter to not depend on go1.12
* Update lnd to build with go1.12
Updated the version
Forced only building subpackages with main to prevent panics over
multiple modules in one repo
* Remove go1.12 from openshift
Had to update the version to 4.1.0 and do a bit of munging to get this
to work
* Remove go1.12 completely.
These are no longer needed.
* Update bazel-watcher and make it build with go 1.14
