The maintainer has stopped cutting releases[1]. Since the last release,
1.4.9, includes a dependency that is filled with hate speech[2] it's all
the more reason to package the unstable version and eliminate that
requirement.
Moreover a number of fixes, improvements, and features have landed
since.

Since the last time I ran this script, the Repology API changed, so I had to
adapt the script used in the previous PR. The new API should be more robust, so
overall this is a positive (no more grepping the error messages for our relevant
data but just a nice json structure).
Here's the new script I used:
```sh
curl https://repology.org/api/v1/repository/nix_unstable/problems \
| jq -r '.[] | select(.type == "homepage_permanent_https_redirect") | .data | "s@\(.url)@\(.target)@"' \
| sort | uniq | tee script.sed
find -name '*.nix' | xargs -P4 -- sed -f script.sed -i
```
I will also add this script to `maintainers/scripts`.
After making `ffmpeg` point to the latest `ffmpeg_4`, all packages that
used `ffmpeg` without requiring a specific version now use ffmpeg_3
explicitly so they shouldn't change.
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.

Adding package mp3cat, a command line mp3 utility which will concatenate
multiple mp3 files, and keep only the audio frames, discarding headers
and so on.
Whenever we create scripts that are installed to $out, we must use runtimeShell
in order to get the shell that can be executed on the machine we create the
package for. This is relevant for cross-compiling. The only use case for
stdenv.shell are scripts that are executed as part of the build system.
Usages in checkPhase are borderline however to decrease the likelyhood
of people copying the wrong examples, I decided to use runtimeShell as well.
I've introduced the plugin and have been maintaining it ever since, so
it's time to make myself the official maintainer in order to avoid
confusion about who to address when issues about the alternatives plugin
arise.

This introduces the following upstream changes:
* The package is now on PyPI
* Require at least beets v1.4.7
* Update album art in alternatives when it changes
* Python 3 support (Python 2.7 continues to be supported)
* Support the format aliases defined by the convert plugin ('wma' and
'vorbis' with current beets)
* Bugfix: Explicitly write tags after encoding instead of relying on
the encoder to do so
* Bugfix: If the formats config option is modified, don't move files
if the extension would change, but re-encode
I updated this because I was pinged by @wisp3rwind about moving back to
@geigerzaehler's repository at [1].
This is what @wisp3rwind wrote in the comment[2] (which was originally
directed to @Profpatsch):
(I hope you're the one to bug, or at least can ping someone else), I
just noticed that you switched the NixOS package to my repository.
Would you please switch it back to this repo soon-ish? The code here
is better tested, and [3] is handled less elegantly on my fork since
it requires changes to the configuration. The latter are undocumented,
but whoever has bothered to take a look at the code might end up with
(harmless) unused config entries.
So in essence we're now back to the original upstream repository again,
which I changed to @wisp3rwind's fork in 29e89248bf
because it fixed issues with Python 3.
Stripping the long_description from setup.py also doesn't seem to be
required anymore, but I didn't investigate why (might be because either
our Python tooling now sets a default language or the README simply no
longer has non-ASCII characters).

Since 0f38d9669f, the default Python
version for Python 3 is now Python 3.7.
It has been a while since beets had a new release, but the fix for
Python 3.7 is already in master (and it's also rather small), so I
decided to cherry-pick the commit as a patch.
I've built the package along with its tests and they failed at first,
but the errors were unrelated. So I disabled the tests for pylint, as
they're failing right now.
In addition I also needed to temporarily revert
0d2f06ae3a, which supposedly should fix
issues with Python 2 but aparently breaks Python 3 support and during
the beets tests we get a ModuleNotFoundError for the "_gi_gst" module.
However I didn't further investigate why this happens, as I'm time
constrained right now. But after disabling the pylint tests and the
revert of the mentioned gst-python commit, the beets tests succeed.

The fact that futhark is a Haskell package is an implementation detail. To
install it users should just have to specify `futhark` instead of
`haskellPackages.futhark`.
Additionally futhark is overridden with `haskell.lib.justStaticExecutables` to
reduce closure size.
Since the switch to using python3Packages in commit
72934aa94e, the plugins no longer build
because they end up with a mix of Python 2 and Python 3 packages.
The reason for this is that the Beets package itself uses callPackage to
reference the plugins, however the overrides are not applied there and
thus the plugins end up getting pythonPackages from the top-level which
is Python 2 and beets with Python 3 dependencies.
Unfortunately this is not the only reason for the builds to fail,
because both plugins did not actually support Python 3.
For the copyartifacts plugin, the fix is rather easy because we only
need to advance to two more recent commits from upstream, which already
contain fixes for Python 3.
The alternatives plugin on the other hand is not maintained anymore, but
there is a fork at https://github.com/wisp3rwind/beets-alternatives
which has a bunch of fixes. In 2e4aded366
I already backported one of these fixes to the version from
https://github.com/geigerzaehler/beets-alternatives, but for Python 3
support it's a bit more complicated than just one little fix.
So instead of adding another series of patches which replicate the code
base of the fork and become a maintenance burden, I opted to directly
switch to the fork and remove the patch on our side.

The upstream release notes are a bit bigger, so I'm not including it
here. You can find it at:
https://github.com/beetbox/beets/releases/tag/v1.4.7
Originally I wanted to just fix the build, which is currently broken
because a few tests have failed, but the fix for the tests is already
included in the 1.4.7 upstream release[1], so I opted to update instead.
Other than running the tests included in beets (in addition to
building/running tests of the "alternatives" and "copyartifacts"
external plugins) I have made some small queries on my local music
collection, but haven't tested import or any write operation.
