the gnome2 namespace nebulously refers to an gnome 2, a desktop we never
properly packaged. now it holds a bunch of gtk2 or otherwise unused
packages. its contents were handled in previous commits, and now that it
is empty except for aliases, we drop the namespace entirely. aliases
were added only for the recent additions to the list, as the ones from
before 2024 seem to have little use and are no longer kept in
aliases.nix.
this was done manually, fixing the eval and any remaining stuff of the previous commit
together with the previous commit this shouldn't create any rebuilds
After final improvements to the official formatter implementation,
this commit now performs the first treewide reformat of Nix files using it.
This is part of the implementation of RFC 166.
Only "inactive" files are reformatted, meaning only files that
aren't being touched by any PR with activity in the past 2 months.
This is to avoid conflicts for PRs that might soon be merged.
Later we can do a full treewide reformat to get the rest,
which should not cause as many conflicts.
A CI check has already been running for some time to ensure that new and
already-formatted files are formatted, so the files being reformatted here
should also stay formatted.
This commit was automatically created and can be verified using
nix-build a08b3a4d19.tar.gz \

This simplifies usages and makes the default value consistent.
In a few cases, the default value was interpreted to be `false`,
but this is useless, because virtually nobody will explicitly
set `allowAliases = true;`.
The main two changes are
1. Completely rewrite how with-packages works to remove use of envHooks
2. The package description is now an idris specific set rather than
being a subset of the arguments to mkDerivation. This mirrors the
way Haskell packages are treated.
Fixes#10450
When compiling packages with -o the executable invokes gcc.
There is no compile time flag to control this invocation so for
now we create a wrapper which provides the dependency at runtime.
