* pythonPackages.matplotlib: add veprbl to maintainers
* pythonPackages.matplotlib: remove an old darwin hack
* pythonPackages.matplotlib: remove python and stdenv from buildInputs
* python3Packages.matplotlib: remove a hack for python33
* pythonPackages.matplotlib: remove outdated checkPhase
Downloading the baseline_images is not a real issue, building against
older freetype (local_freetype = True) is, perhaps, not what we
want. The good news is that the tests would pass (tested on 3.2.1) if
we were to enable them:
========== 6684 passed, 1332 skipped, 10 xfailed in 228.64s (0:03:48) ==========
* pythonPackages.matplotlib: provide setup.cfg from a file instead of a patch
* python3Packages.matplotlib: 3.1.3 -> 3.2.1
We currently do not build mathplotlib with any backend. This can be very
confusing for users. They will try to use matplotlib and it will simply
display nothing (see #51337). We should ship at least one backend. `tk`
was chosen somewhat arbitrarily. The gtk backend is problematic (see
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/50959#issuecomment-441327767)
so tkinter seems like a good choice.
There is already a backend provided on darwin so there is no reason to
include tk there.
The `buildPython*` function computes name from `pname` and `version`.
This change removes `name` attribute from all expressions in
`pkgs/development/python-modules`.
While at it, some other minor changes were made as well, such as
replacing `fetchurl` calls with `fetchPypi`.
Sets the `basedirlist` option in setup.cfg such that distutils does not search
for headers and libraries in `/usr`, and `/usr/local`.
Otherwise the build can fail on non-NixOS machines, see #15993.
In line with the Nixpkgs manual.
A mechanical change, done with this command:
find pkgs -name "*.nix" | \
while read f; do \
sed -e 's/description\s*=\s*"\([a-z]\)/description = "\u\1/' -i "$f"; \
done
I manually skipped some:
* Descriptions starting with an abbreviation, a user name or package name
* Frequently generated expressions (haskell-packages.nix)
