The erlang `generic-builder` accepts a lot of arguments that would
affect the `configureFlags` passed to `mkDerivation`. Though all these
arguments would be without any effect if additionally `configureFlags`
is passed and not the empty list.
This change should make it easier to "compose" arbitrary erlang overrides.
@the-kenny did a good job in the past and is set as maintainer in many package,
however since 2017-2018 he stopped contributing. To create less confusion
in pull requests when people try to request his feedback, I removed him as
maintainer from all packages.
This is in preparation for adding Erlang/OTP 22 which no longer has a
`configure.in` and fails to build with the current
`generic-builder.nix`, but it should work for all supported, previous
versions of Erlang (R18–R21) as well.
Fixes#62775
This fixes build errors like
GEN asn1ct_eval_ext.erl
{"init terminating in do_boot",{undef,[{asn1ct_func,start_link,[],[]},{prepare_templates,gen_asn1ct_eval,1,[{file,"prepare_templates.erl"},{line,58}]},{init,start_em,1,[]},{init,do_boot,3,[]}]}}
init terminating in do_boot ({undef,[{asn1ct_func,start_link,[],[]},{prepare_templates,gen_asn1ct_eval,1,[{_},{_}]},{init,start_em,1,[]},{init,do_boot,3,[]}]})
that occur on some machines but not others.
That way 'epmd' can be started by systemd using socket
activation. This is important to have when there is more than one
Erlang system used on the same host.
Support for this exists since 17.0:

Configure flag was added in 17.1:

Erlang's generic-builder isn't using the right /bin/sh in some
situations, causing build errors either in the erlang build itself or
in derivations depending on it.
This patch runs `patchShebangs make/` before running the rest of the
`postPatch` phase, hopefully using the right shell early enough.
This might be a solution for #36853, #36823 and #37638.
* 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
