The script was dropped
in commit 44e4c1ba9f
as part of PR #452566,
but the corresponding README entry was left in place.
This change removes that README entry.
For some reason `asyncio.create_subprocess_exec` freezes after failing previous call returns `CalledProcessError`.
Perhaps because `asyncio.gather` fails and cancels the later tasks, triggering https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/103847
These were done manually by me, either due to not matching the regexes in the previous ones, or because of nixf-diagnose, which I have as a pre-commit hook.
We have machinery for Python packaging, so let’s make use of
it. This also helps unblock moving `by-name` overrides out of
`all-packages.nix`, as it was previously being used to work around
`nixpkgs-vet` forbidding the direct reference to the path.
This hopefully makes it easier to re-write this script in a language
that people understand. Because it's shelling out, it's likely slower
but hopefully still fast enough for our purposes.
These dependencies need to be pulled from the same unstable commit that
cabal2nix is pulled from, otherwise changes to any of them will not be
in effect and possibly break the build.
(cherry picked from commit 631661e66c)
The contribution guidelines require an unstable version to be leading
with a real version, or if none is available with `0-`.
This is because certain Nix operations split a package's full name into
name and version component starting with the first section starting with
a digit.
(cherry picked from commit 453d0f8eab)
This is a new flag introduced in `nix-eval-jobs`, which reduces runtime
for the `ping-maintainers` subcommand from 12 minutes to 3 minutes for
me.
The `--constituents` flag is not supported anymore with
`--no-instantiate`, but it doesn't seem to make a difference anyway.
Same for `--max-jobs` - I don't get a difference with or without it.
Removing the `foldl'` import because it is warned to be redundant after
switching to import the current nixpkgs instance, likely due to a newer
GHC version (?).
Also, rearrange the GHC‐related release notes to be in order of
most likely to matter to anyone.
