We can use use `stdenv.hostPlatform.isStatic` instead, and move the
logic per package. The least opionated benefit of this is that it makes
it much easier to replace packages with modified ones, as there is no
longer any issue of overlay order.

Boost generates its installed cmake configuration using custom logic
in its own build system; while this logic *knows* where it should be
installed, the generated config overrides the correct information with
new paths based on the location of the cmake configuration file in an
attempt to let the package be relocated after installation.
This patch simply undoes that.
Users who want to patch boost may put a postInstall hook in an overlay, which
requires that that expression runs them on the buildPhase and installPhase.
darwin-no-system-python.patch does not apply cleany on Boost 1.55's
sources. Fix this patch file for Boost 1.55, making it build
successfully on macOS.
He prefers to contribute to his own nixpkgs fork triton.
Since he is still marked as maintainer in many packages
this leaves the wrong impression he still maintains those.
Between 2b450377bf and the current
revision, the semantics behind "platforms" changed, and removing the
"aarch64-linux" string doesn't work anymore to filter it out.
Instead, blacklist the platform using the (comparatively) new
badPlatforms.
"platforms.all" could include any possible os (even a machine with no
OS at all!). We can’t possible hope to support all of that, so need to
be more specific.
There doesn't seem to be a --without-python flag and since the system
framework is always available the build tries to enable python support
while we have it disabled by default and explicitly don't pass in the
python headers.
The reason is that if cross compiling (or for other reasons) python
bindings as a whole are turned off. Those two lines then trigger
assertion errors unless manually overridden for cross compilation.
This way:
1. The `enableNumpy` default respects the `enablePython deafult.
2. Cross works by default
3. Absurd manual overrides still break as they should
4. The `>= 1.65` logic is direct and not a maintaince gotcha.
This was motivated originally by my cross work, but that goal requires a
few more commits to other things. Still, it's good to start the cleanup
now / get things out of the way.
Certain tools, e.g. compilers, are customarily prefixed with the name of
their target platform so that multiple builds can be used at once
without clobbering each other on the PATH. I was using identifiers named
`prefix` for this purpose, but that conflicts with the standard use of
`prefix` to mean the directory where something is installed. To avoid
conflict and confusion, I renamed those to `targetPrefix`.
* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.
* pkgs: Fixing some links that were wrongfully unquoted in the previous
commit
* Fixed some instances
- Dynamic linking won't work, it seems.
- When using a native python, the extension isn't built,
so let's not depend on it.
- Replace flags missing on this branch, such as `isCrossWin`.
