Instead of managing external plugins in the beets derivation, we
introduce a new top-level package set beetsExternalPlugins which the
beets derivation receives as an input. This change doesn't affect how
the beets derivation is built or overridden, so the change won't be
noticed by users, but it makes hydra evaluate and build external plugins
which should benefit users of those plugins and prevent future
regressions as we have experienced (currently on master
beets-alternatives fails to evaluate, but this wasn't picked up by
ofborg nor hydra).
The path to the used patch was broken, making the derivation fail
evaluation. However the patch needs to be updated as some new test
failure has cropped up.
This fixes hopefully all remaining missing lib inputs, likely introduced
as a regression by our recent treewide switch from stdenv.lib to lib.
These instances are all I could find using nix-instantiate --parse using
the following command:
find "$NIXPKGS" -name '*.nix' \
-and ! -path "$NIXPKGS/pkgs/development/interpreters/python/cpython/docs/template.nix" \
-and ! -path '$NIXPKGS/.git/**' \
-print0 | xargs -0 nix-instantiate --parse >/dev/null
The maintainer has stopped cutting releases[1]. Since the last release,
1.4.9, includes a dependency that is filled with hate speech[2] it's all
the more reason to package the unstable version and eliminate that
requirement.
Moreover a number of fixes, improvements, and features have landed
since.

After making `ffmpeg` point to the latest `ffmpeg_4`, all packages that
used `ffmpeg` without requiring a specific version now use ffmpeg_3
explicitly so they shouldn't change.
Whenever we create scripts that are installed to $out, we must use runtimeShell
in order to get the shell that can be executed on the machine we create the
package for. This is relevant for cross-compiling. The only use case for
stdenv.shell are scripts that are executed as part of the build system.
Usages in checkPhase are borderline however to decrease the likelyhood
of people copying the wrong examples, I decided to use runtimeShell as well.
I've introduced the plugin and have been maintaining it ever since, so
it's time to make myself the official maintainer in order to avoid
confusion about who to address when issues about the alternatives plugin
arise.
