The wpa_supplicant upstream is slow to push out new releases and has
been asked several times to do so. Support for Opportunistic Wireless
Encryption has been on master since late 2019 and still hasn't made it
into a release yet.
This backports a rather simple patchset to enable OWE key management
and exposes it also via DBus, so it can be used from Network-Manager.
continuation of #109595
pkgconfig was aliased in 2018, however, it remained in
all-packages.nix due to its wide usage. This cleans
up the remaining references to pkgs.pkgsconfig and
moves the entry to aliases.nix.
python3Packages.pkgconfig remained unchanged because
it's the canonical name of the upstream package
on pypi.
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.
Hydra nixpkgs: ?compare=1538299
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.
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

Compile wpa_supplicant with the BGSCAN module enabled. This allows the
user to configure an SSID to use the bgscan module. This module causes
wpa_supplicant to periodically perform a background scan for additional
access points and switch to the one with the highest signal. This scan
can be kicked off when the current connection drops below a target
threshold signal strength.
wpa_supplicant 2.4 appears to have a serious bug that makes impossible
to use wifi for some number of people.
(See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=196584 for an example)
It was resolved in a patch for the to-be-released 2.5 which it seemed
worth it to cherry-pick here.
