We had set the "stamped" commit in #382282, a few days before the tags
appeared. The tags are now there, so we can replace them. The hashes
stay the same.
This allows us to fetch newer releases a few days before they are
officially released and the tarballs have been pushed.
The regular release cycle is like this:
- Sunday, the release notes are committed.
- Monday, the version is "stamped", i.e. the version bump committed.
- Thursday, the release is made.
There are not going to be any changes from Monday on, so we can kick off
our builds at that time already - they still need time to hit unstable
anyway.
/bin/locale doesn't exist on musl and was already effectively disabled
in #228349. However this still leaves the following warning for initdb:
performing post-bootstrap initialization ... sh: locale: not found
By applying the alpine patch to disable locale -a entirely, this warning
will disappear. This will also make one more regression test pass when
testing "check-world" instead of "check", only.
This was introduced in #228349, but doesn't seem necessary to build for pkgsMusl.
In fact the patch itself seems to be very specific about a stripped down icu
package in Alpine Linux, which does not apply to nixpkgs.
This makes it obvious that the required argument muslPatches must be passed when
creating a new version file.
Pure refactor, not changing any derivations.
The recommended [1] structure for a package regarding versioning is to have each
version in a separate file. This commit just mechanically copies code around
without any changes.
