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
This has several advantages:
1. It takes up less space on disk in-between builds in the nix store.
2. It uses less space in the binary cache for vendor derivation packages.
3. It uses less network traffic downloading from the binary cache.
4. It plays nicely with hashed mirrors like tarballs.nixos.org, which only
substitute --flat hashes on single files (not recursive directory hashes).
5. It's consistent with how simple `fetchurl` src derivations work.
6. It provides a stronger abstraction between input src-package and output
package, e.g., it's harder to accidentally depend on the src derivation at
runtime by referencing something like `${src}/etc/index.html`. Likewise, in
the store it's harder to get confused with something that is just there as a
build-time dependency vs. a runtime dependency, since the build-time
src dependencies are tarred up.
Disadvantages are:
1. It takes slightly longer to untar at the start of a build.
As currently implemented, this attaches the compacted vendor.tar.gz feature as a
rider on `verifyCargoDeps`, since both of them are relatively newly implemented
behavior that change the `cargoSha256`.
If this PR is accepted, I will push forward the remaining rust packages with a
series of treewide PRs to update the `cargoSha256`s.
with firefox 64 being the latest version, and the removal of
"tor-browser/icecat-like" variants, we can greatly simplify the common
firefox derivation.
firefoxPackages.firefox-esr-52 was removed as it's an unsupported ESR
with open security issues. If you need it because you need to run some
plugins not having been ported to WebExtensions API, import it from an
older nixpkgs checkout still containing it.
There's not really a reason to ship an unsupported ESR variant of
firefox, and if one really needs it, it's also possible to just checkout
an older version of nixpkgs.
Git ships with a zsh completion script, but this script was previously
only available at $out/share/git/contrib/completion/git-completion.zsh,
which is not a path (or a filename) that would be discovered by a
typical zsh installation. This commit symlinks that file to
$out/share/zsh/site-functions/_git, which is a more standard location.
That zsh completion script is mostly a wrapper around the Bash
completion script, so this commit also patches the former so that it can
"find" the latter.

it seems poppler updates (almost?) always break scribusUnstable
additionally:
formatted with nixpkgs-fmt;
added kiwi to maintainers - the more eyes the better;
add additional licenses that are listed on scribus COPYING;
