Apply some upstream duplicity patches which optimize installCheckPhase.
On my laptop, this lowers duplicity's total build time from 8 m 42 s to
6 m 50 s (-21%).
* Install required tool dependencies ('tar', 'rdiff', etc.)
* Run installed duplicity instead of source tree duplicity
* Fix shebang of scripts in testing/overrides/bin/
* Disable some unhelpful developer-only tests
* Disable a test broken on Linux (root cause unknown)
* Work around low file descriptor soft limit for Darwin builders
A recent upgrade of cargo-vendor changed its output slightly, which
broke all cargoSha256 hashes in nixpkgs.
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/60668 for more information.
Since then, a few hashes have been fixed in master by hand, but there
were a lot still to do, so I did all of the ones left over with some
scripts I wrote.
The one hash I wasn’t able to update was habitat's, because it’s
currently broken and the build doesn’t get far enough to produce a
hash anyway.
gnupg is gnupg 2.2. gnupg1 is also gnupg 2.2, just with a few extra
symlinks in the bin directory. None of these packages need those
symlinks, and it's confusing for them to say they're depending on
"gnupg1", so switch their dep to plain "gnupg".
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.
Comments on conflicts:
- llvm: d6f401e1 vs. 469ecc70 - docs for 6 and 7 say the default is
to build all targets, so we should be fine
- some pypi hashes: they were equivalent, just base16 vs. base32
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.
Since years I'm not maintaining anything of the list below other
than some updates when I needed them for some reason. Other people
is doing that maintenance on my behalf so I better take me out but
for very few packages. Finally!
* treewide: http -> https sources
This updates the source urls of all top-level packages from http to
https where possible.
* buildtorrent: fix url and tab -> spaces
It is not working since 18.03 and nobody than me seems to use it, because I couldn't find a package.
Also I'm not willing to continue maintaining this package.

When using diskrsync over SSH, on the remote machine it calls an executable
equal to argv0. Typically, this is just diskrsync but now that diskrsync is
wrapped, the wrapper uses absolute path to diskrsync and that path doesn't most
likely work on the remote machine. Thus, we need to force argv0 to "diskrsync"
so that it works on the remote machine.

* remove EOL ruby versions for security and maintenance reasons.
* only expose ruby_MAJOR_MINOR to the top-level. we don't provide
guarantees for the TINY version.
* mark all related packages as broken

The llfuse package depends on fuse which refuses to build on darwin. But
according to a comment in the setup.py of borgbackup [1] it's ok to leave it out
if it's not available. Most of borgbackup should work without it. Would be great
to make it work on darwin but i am not sure if it's possible to get fuse to work
on darwin. I do not know enough about it ;)
After this modification at least the "borg mount" subcommand is broken due to
the missing llfuse module. But the rest seems to work normally.

The acl libraray is only required by the borgbackup package if building on a
linux platform. Adding it only in this case should be fine. Also see the
conditional in the setup.py at [1].

The flockit library and tool exists solely because rsync doesn't have file
locking.
It's not used like a normal library; you don't link against it, and you don't
have to patch your source code to use it. It's inserted between your program and
its libraries by use of LD_PRELOAD.
For example:
$ env LD_PRELOAD=$(nix-build -A pkgs.flockit)/lib/libflockit.so FLOCKIT_FILE_PREFIX=test rsync SRC DEST
Besides the library a handy executable is provided which can simplify the above to:
$ $(nix-build -A pkgs.flockit)/bin/flockit test rsync SRC DEST
