Each invocation of pkgs.extends adds 130MB of allocation to the hydra
evaluator. We are already struggling with the amount of memory nixpkgs
requires.
`pkgs.extend` is a useful escape-hatch, but should be not be used inside
of nixpkgs directly.

With the addition of ruby.withPackages, manveru rewrote the nixpkgs
manual section for the ruby language but did not add it to the manual.
This commit replaces the previous documentation with manveru's updated
version.
Adding them to `maintainers/maintainer-list` in a separate commit.

The previous implementation of plugin-support for the kakoune derivation
was based on generating, at build time, a `plugins.kak` file that would
source all .kak files in the list of plugins, and wrap the `kak` binary
in a script that would add some command-line arguments so that this
file gets loaded on start-up. The main problem with this approach
is that the plugins' code get executed *after* the user's configuration
file is loaded, so effectively one cannot automatically activate/configure
these plugins.
The idiomatic way of loading plugins is ensuring they end up installed
somwhere under `share/kak/autoload`. Because plugins are already being
packaged to have their code in `share/kak/autoload/plugins/<name-of-plugin>`,
we can obtain a derivation that includes the plugins simply by doing a
`symlinkJoin` of `kakoune-unwrapped` and all the requested plugins.
For this to work, we need to fix two issues:
1. By default, kakoune makes `share/kak/autoload` a symbolic link to
`share/kak/rc`, which contains all builtin definitions. We need
to patch this to put the symlink under `share/kak/autoload/rc`, so that
the join works.
2. By default kakoune expects the `autoload` directory to be in
`../share/kak/autoload` relative to the location of the `kak` binary.
We need to set the `KAKOUNE_RUNTIME` to point the symlinked
share/kak for this to work.
This is a mostly cosmetical commit, in the sense it doesn't change the contents
of any package, but reorganizes the overall Nixpkgs expressions.
Terminal emulators are an ubiquitous tool for any Unix user; even the beginners
are routinely familiarized to it. And, manifestly, there are many
implementations of terminal emulators out there, from those traditionally made
in C and C++ to those written in Haskell and Go.
Terminal emulators deserve more highlight. This commit does that by creating a
category for them.
I made a mistake merge. Reverting it in c778945806 undid the state
on master, but now I realize it crippled the git merge mechanism.
As the merge contained a mix of commits from `master..staging-next`
and other commits from `staging-next..staging`, it got the
`staging-next` branch into a state that was difficult to recover.
I reconstructed the "desired" state of staging-next tree by:
- checking out the last commit of the problematic range: 4effe769e2
- `git rebase -i --preserve-merges a8a018ddc0` - dropping the mistaken
merge commit and its revert from that range (while keeping
reapplication from 4effe769e2)
- merging the last unaffected staging-next commit (803ca85c20)
- fortunately no other commits have been pushed to staging-next yet
- applying a diff on staging-next to get it into that state
