Silvan Mosberger f7ea336cb2 workflows/check-by-name.yml: Switch to new separate repo
The nixpkgs-check-by-name tooling is [being moved](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/286559#issuecomment-2000466124)
to a [separate repo](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-check-by-name).

This commit updates Nixpkgs CI to use it instead of the tree inside
Nixpkgs

No changes have been made to the tooling locally since it was moved:
- [Exported history](55bf02190e/pkgs/test/nixpkgs-check-by-name)
- [Imported history](d579e1821d/)

Maintainer scripts

This folder contains various executable scripts for nixpkgs maintainers, and supporting data or nixlang files as needed. These scripts generally aren't a stable interface and may changed or be removed.

What follows is a (very incomplete) overview of available scripts.

Metadata

check-by-name.sh

An alias for pkgs/test/check-by-name/run-local.sh, see documentation.

get-maintainer.sh

get-maintainer.sh [selector] value returns a JSON object describing a given nixpkgs maintainer, equivalent to lib.maintainers.${x} // { handle = x; }.

This allows looking up a maintainer's attrset (including GitHub and Matrix handles, email address etc.) based on any of their handles, more correctly and robustly than text search through maintainers-list.nix.

 ./get-maintainer.sh nicoo
{
  "email": "nicoo@debian.org",
  "github": "nbraud",
  "githubId": 1155801,
  "keys": [
    {
      "fingerprint": "E44E 9EA5 4B8E 256A FB73 49D3 EC9D 3708 72BC 7A8C"
    }
  ],
  "name": "nicoo",
  "handle": "nicoo"
}

 ./get-maintainer.sh name 'Silvan Mosberger'
{
  "email": "contact@infinisil.com",
  "github": "infinisil",
  "githubId": 20525370,
  "keys": [
    {
      "fingerprint": "6C2B 55D4 4E04 8266 6B7D  DA1A 422E 9EDA E015 7170"
    }
  ],
  "matrix": "@infinisil:matrix.org",
  "name": "Silvan Mosberger",
  "handle": "infinisil"
}

The maintainer is designated by a selector which must be one of:

  • handle (default): the maintainer's attribute name in lib.maintainers;
  • email, name, github, githubId, matrix, name: attributes of the maintainer's object, matched exactly; see maintainer-list.nix for the fields' definition.
