The original idea for this test was, on top of providing a networkd
test, to provide newcomers with a sample configuration they could use
to get started with networkd.
That's precisely why we were doing this systemd tmpfile dance in the
first place. It was a convenient way to create a runtime file with a
specific mode and owner.
Sadly, this tmpfile rule made the test flaky. There's a race condition
between the wireguard interface configured by systemd-networkd and
systemd-tmpfiles-setup.
Sometimes, networkd is going to try loading the wireguard private key
file *before* the said file gets created by systemd-tmpfiles.
A perfect solution here would be to create a "After" dependency
between wg0.netdev and systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service. Sadly, it is
currently impossible to create such a dependency between a
networkd-specific unit and a service.
We're removing this tmp file in favor of pointing networkd directly to
the Nix store. This is clearly something that shouldn't be done in the
real world for a private file: the store is world-readable. However,
this is the only way I found to fix this test flakiness for now.
The Deepin Desktop Environment (DDE) is not yet fully packaged in
nixpkgs and it has shown a very difficult task to complete, as
discussed in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/94870. The
conclusion is that it is better to completely remove it.
importlib-metadata and packaging appear to have been falsely satisfied
by the inclusion of pytestCheckHook in checkInputs. this can be
demonstrated by attempting to build this package with doCheck = false.
also removed the isPy27 clause as package no longer seems to support <3.6
anyway now.
bzip2 has been unmaintained for a long time. For a while now, there has
been maintainership, resulting in the release of 1.0.8. At the same
time, there is now a master branch (version 1.1.x) which supports meson
and cmake as build systems.
This commit adds the current HEAD of the master branch (1.1.x). In the
future we may want to use this one instead of the older and patched
1.0.6 we currently have.
