Builds currently fail with `ar` trying to operate on what are clearly
two paths concatenated together. It stems from a backward-incompatible
change in Make:
> Previously appending using '+=' to an empty variable would result in
> a value starting with a space. Now the initial space is only added
> if the variable already contains some value. Similarly, appending an
> empty string does not add a trailing space.
This issue was first reported on the MAME repository proper
(https://github.com/mamedev/mame/issues/6248), and affects libretro's
2016 snapshot as well. A fix that is reported to work with previous
versions of Make was upstreamed to:
- GENie, the build system: https://github.com/bkaradzic/GENie/pull/493
- MAME: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/pull/6262
- libretro: https://github.com/libretro/mame2016-libretro/pull/47
The fetched patch comes from the last of these.
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.
This should fix the regression found in
https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1577308#tabs-now-fail. The libretro
scripts use “osx” as the identifier for macOS, and “unix” seems to
mean linux.
If anyone could help out by confirming this works. I don’t currently
have access to a macOS machine.
- Avoid using overrides unless necessary
- Set platform and ARCH by default
- Don’t set dontConfigure unless absolutely necessary
- Use preBuild instead of overriding entire configurePhase
Upstream has broken git history [1], so the current version cannot be
fetched. The required patches have been upstreamed [2], and we hope
that upstream will be more careful with their git history.
The previous commit can still be viewed on github [3], but is not the
ancestor of any fetchable ref.

This makes the command ‘nix-env -qa -f. --arg config '{skipAliases =
true;}'’ work in Nixpkgs.
Misc...
- qtikz: use libsForQt5.callPackage
This ensures we get the right poppler.
- rewrites:
docbook5_xsl -> docbook_xsl_ns
docbook_xml_xslt -> docbook_xsl
diffpdf: fixup
* 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
