According to https://endoflife.software/programming-languages/server-side-scripting/ruby
ruby 2.4 will go end-of-life in march, where the new release of nixpkgs
will be cut. We won't be able to support it for security updates.
Remove all references to ruby_2_4 and add ruby_2_7 instead where
missing.
Mark packages that depend on ruby 2.4 as broken:
* chefdk
* sonic-pi
The primary motivation of this change was to allow third-party modules
to be used with OpenResty, but it also results in a significant
reduction of code duplication.
According to https://repology.org/repository/nix_unstable/problems, we have a
lot of packages that have http links that redirect to https as their homepage.
This commit updates all these packages to use the https links as their
homepage.
The following script was used to make these updates:
```
curl https://repology.org/api/v1/repository/nix_unstable/problems \
| jq '.[] | .problem' -r \
| rg 'Homepage link "(.+)" is a permanent redirect to "(.+)" and should be updated' --replace 's@$1@$2@' \
| sort | uniq > script.sed
find -name '*.nix' | xargs -P4 -- sed -f script.sed -i
```
This fixes the patch for nginx to clear the Last-Modified header if a
static file is served from the Nix store.
So far we only used the ETag from the store path, but if the
Last-Modified header is always set to "Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:01 GMT",
Firefox and Chrome/Chromium seem to ignore the ETag and simply use the
cached content instead of revalidating.
Alongside the fix, this also adds a dedicated NixOS VM test, which uses
WebDriver and Firefox to check whether the content is actually served
from the browser's cache and to have a more real-world test case.
This is what I've suspected a while ago[1]:

Much earlier[2] when I reviewed the patch, I wrote this:

Unfortunately, I didn't pursue this any further back then because
@pbogdan noted[3] the following:
> Hmm, could they (assuming they are conforming):

Since running with this patch in some deployments, I found that both
Firefox and Chrome/Chromium do NOT re-validate against the ETag if the
Last-Modified header is still the same.
So I wrote a small NixOS VM test with Geckodriver to have a test case
which is closer to the real world and I indeed was able to reproduce
this.
Whether this is actually a bug in Chrome or Firefox is an entirely
different issue and even IF it is the fault of the browsers and it is
fixed at some point, we'd still need to handle this for older browser
versions.
Apart from clearing the header, I also recreated the patch by using a
plain "git diff" with a small description on top. This should make it
easier for future authors to work on that patch.

This also lets us remove a hack for supporting LibreSSL 2.7, since we're
now using 2.9 by default, anyway.
Finally, use Ninja to run the CMake build instead of Make -- speeds
things up for me by a few seconds.

There ver very many conflicts, basically all due to
name -> pname+version. Fortunately, almost everything was auto-resolved
by kdiff3, and for now I just fixed up a couple evaluation problems,
as verified by the tarball job. There might be some fallback to these
conflicts, but I believe it should be minimal.

PHP 7.1 is currently on life support, as in only recieving security related patches.
This will only continue until: 2019-12-01
This date are in the middle of the 19.09 lifecycle. So it would be
nice to not have it in the 19.09 stable release. Dropping it now would
also result in less maintanance in updating them.
The death dates can be seen on following links:

So far, the Nix store directory was hardcoded and if someone uses a
different Nix store directory the patch won't work. Of course, this is
pretty uncommon, but by not only substituting the store directory but
also the length of it we also save a few calls to ngx_strlen(), which
should save us a few cycles.

The original patch introduced a new "real" variable which gets populated
(and allocated) via ngx_realpath(). It's properly freed in error
conditions but it won't be freed if ngx_http_set_etag returns
successfully.
Adding another ngx_free() just before returning fixes that memory leak.
I also fixed a small indentation issue along the way.

In Apache HTTP Server 2.4 releases 2.4.17 to 2.4.38, with MPM event, worker or
prefork, code executing in less-privileged child processes or
threads (including scripts executed by an in-process scripting interpreter)
could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the parent process (usually
root) by manipulating the scoreboard.
This adds the nginx module `ngx_http_proxy_connect_module` which allows
to tunnel HTTPS through an nginx proxy[1].
As this module contained patches for several nginx version, some minor
adjustments were needed:
* Allowed each entry in `nginxModules` to provide patches.
* Added an optional `supports` attribute to ensure that each module can
determine if it supports the currently built nginx version (e.g. stable
1.14 ATM or mainline 1.15 ATM).
