This touches up a handful of places in the python documentation to try to make
the current best-practices more obvious. In particular, I often find the
function signatures (what to pass, what not to pass) confusing and have added
them to the docs.
Also updated the metas to be more consistent with the most frequently used
modern style.
A new python script has been added to replace the aged viml-based
updater. The new updater has the following advantages:
- use rss feeds to check for updates quicker
- parallel downloads & better caching
- uses proper override mechanism instead of text substitution
- update generated files in-place instead of having to insert updated plugins manually
Automatically reading `dependencies` from the plugins directory has been
not re-implemented.
This has been mostly been used by Mark Weber's plugins, which seem to
no longer receive regular updates.
This could be implemented in future as required.
Use example package `zerobin` instead of `bepasty-server` which
is no longer part of python-packages.
This fixes the examples for current nixpkgs versions.
1. Use the same approach like in the overlay example:
Override `python` instead of `pythonPackages` so that
`python.pkgs` refers to the new package set like `pythonPackages`.
This also fixes a bug in the original example where
`pkgs.fetchgit` was not in scope.
Add an extra example to illustrate how to override just a
package set.
2. Fix mix-up between `super` and `self` in the explanation text.
Also, simplify the explanation.
This fixes a regression introduced in 4b06383.

Relevant section: 9.5.2.3. How to install a compiler with libraries, hoogle and documentation indexes
Since version 5 `hoogle server`s --local flag solves the problem with links from
`http:` to `file:` URIs:
hoogle server --local -p 8080
Setting haskell.packageOverrides like so:
haskell = super.haskell // {
packageOverrides = self: super: {
my-package = ...;
my-other-package = ...;
};
};
causes all compiler-specific package sets to be overridden with those
overrides.
Nobody has stepped up to keep maintaining this and it's several
years old, and the last strict Java 7 dependency, as it won't work
with newer versions without an update.
